Yet another reason why I love vintage

I found this set of  mittens in a thrift store with a note hidden inside one of them that read,

These mittens were knitted for Leonard and me when we visited them in Finland.
They are so precious, we never wore them much. Please take care of them. They knitted with wool.
The cousins in Finland were so good to us and such nice people. We both enjoyed our visit with them.

Of course after reading that note, I purchased them quickly and took them home with me where I've kept them for a few years. However, I think it's time I pass them on to someone who will put them into good use and continue to care for them as requested by the original owner. Bless her heart!
