As a child, remember the panic of losing your one favorite thing of the moment?

Either one of my Grandmothers or my mom would often come to my rescue and make things all better again and in this case, it was a Grandmother too!
Here's the email:
My 6 year old Grandaughter is going to lose her tooth any day now, and
she had a little yellow treasure and left it on a table at a Fourth of
July barbecue, and I guess it got picked up when someone was cleaning
off the table. Well needless to say there was a lot of tears. So she will
be so excited to get them. Thank you again!!
I can remember the flood of tears well as a child and my Grandmothers and I looking high and low for whatever it was I had lost and loved at the moment.

And later I received this follow up email:
I just wanted to let you know I received the tooth treasure boxes today,my Granddaughter is thrilled!! And all the lil treats you put in,that was so nice of you!!
I'll keep that penny for luck. Thank you so much again, please try and
keep in touch, and let me know how you are doing. It's always nice to
make new friends.Take care and be well!!
It's so nice when someone emails to share all the happiness going around! And it's especially nice to make new friends too!

Saying Goodbye: One never knows when a little one is going to lose a tooth and these come in handy for safe keeping until night time and it finds it's way under a pillow. I have my own vintage stash of these for such emergencies.
What I Learned:
1. One never know where new friends will be found and it seems I'm making quite a circle of friends from Etsy!
2. I have my own stash of these for art projects, but really have no idea what to do with them. So maybe I can keep a few for emergencies and finally let go of them all. Perhaps a charm bracelet with these and other plastic charms, including the tooth charm locket, although I don't wear jewelry anymore. Only time will tell.
3. I am so thankful that these little tooth treasure chests are bringing happiness to so many children and that my "thank you" package is making little ones happy too and even adults with it's "good luck" penny!

It's always nice when someone comes to the rescue for support and help. I hope everyone has a person in their life they can call for help.
When you were little, who was your "go to" comfort person? I had so many as a child, grandmothers, aunts and my mom.
