#snail ring

So I have to go back to January. On Instagram I fell in love with a snail ring. I wasn't sure at first but I got it for me. It took a while to arrive because it game all the way from the US to me im Germany. I really like rings in general, I mean I have a thing for hands so yeah. But only had one ring that I wore every now and then, but I wanted a ring that I could wear everyday that becomes "Alina's Ring" if you understand what i mean. And I saw the snail ring and it was mine. Sadly I messed up the measuring (and the US sizes are different from the ones in Germany) so ordered the snail ring way to big. So after a few weeks I went to a goldsmith to size it down. And now its my Ring 🐌🩷 and i wear it everyday and I love it a lot it makes me a bit happier every time I see it on my hand.

So today I went to the botanical garden in munich, with my parents and of course i wore my snail ring. Its a very big and beautiful garden. I was there the second time now and its really nice no matter the season. So we got our tickets and took a few pictures then we got something to drink and some snacks. We went on and i pet a big fish, there is a huge pond and the fish in there are friendly and come up to get some pets from nice humans. And we slowly made our way back to go back home. Then when my mom got a call i realised that my snail ring is missing !

This is the area i lost it. I was already hopeless that i will get my Ring back.

I remembered that i straight went to the bathroom in the Souvenirshop as we entered so I immediately told my dad I need to go to the bathroom before we leave so I could check if it maybe is there. On my way to the bathroom a Family stopped me because they wanted a family picture with every member on it. So i was a nice person and took a few pictures of them, and they were so happy about it.

So I checked the bathroom in the Souvenirshop, my snail ring wasn't there, i was near to tears. After just two month I already lost my snail ring.

I walked up the stairs to the Shop and and eldery couple was standing at the counter and said to the Lady working there: "we found a Ring. Its really small it's probably not worth much. It looks like it could be from a little girl." and I immediately said that I lost a Ring and they showed me the Ring and it was my snail ring. I was so happy and thanked the couple soo much. I told them i just was in the Shop to check if I lost it there. They were also really happy that they could give me back my ring. They told me where they found it and I told them that it's my favorite ring and that I bought it in the Internet and it came from the US. We all laughed and they said that what a crazy coincidence it is that we are all there in the Shop at the same time.

I am still so happy and I honestly cannot belive it.

I mean the couple found the Ring and immediately went to bring it to the Souvenirshop, so maybe they find its owner. The couple could also have waited till they left the garden. If i recognised it early or if the family didn't stop me i would have been to early at the Shop and wouldn't have got my snail ring back.
