Lost family brooches near Dupont Circle, DC

Last Friday, around 2:20 PM, I stepped out of a cafe on F Street NW by Dupont Circle after a quick visit to the National Gallery of Art. My two silver brooches—one shaped like a delicate leaf with marcasite, the other a tiny crown—slipped from my coat when I reached for an umbrella in the light rain. They’re priceless to me, heirlooms from my grandmother. I retraced my steps along the street and checked the cafe and restroom, but I didn’t find them. I’m hoping a passerby turned them in or left them at the cafe counter.

Found desk organizers near Union Station.

I was sipping coffee near the Union Station main hall around 3:15 pm last Friday when I found a set of desk organizers tucked behind a bench. They’re a mix of black metal and clear plastic, with a handful of sticky notes still clinging to one side. It looked like someone was rushing to their train and left them behind, and I could feel how much they might help someone keep a chaotic desk in order. I’m posting this here to help reunite them with their rightful owner.

Lost sheet music in Washington DC near Union Station

While heading back from a practice session near the National Mall, around 4:30 PM on Friday, a gust blew a sheet of music out of my bag near Union Station. The pages are thin and worn, with a pencil note on the first page and a few coffee stains along the edges. I retraced from Dupont Circle to Capitol South hoping to spot a fluttering page, but the wind had other plans. Losing those sheets feels personal—they carry memories of my grandmother and our old duet. I hope they turn up somewhere near Union Station.
