Found 31 Cents Today

This morning I took out the trash and found a penny by the dumpster! I was happy but then later today I had to return some library books that were due. After dropping them off and choosing a few other books, I walked around the parking lot of a large shopping center.

Here's what I found:

• a dime in an empty parking space
• a nickel in another empty parking space
• a penny in a Chipotle parking lot
• a penny in a bank drive through driveway
• three pennies and a nickel in a fast food drive through
• a nickel behind a car

Yay! I just love finding money! Have you been lucky lately?

I posed this found money next to a quilted bookmark I made. I have other similar (and different) handmade items for sale in my Etsy shop.
