Day 287 - unexpected keepsake

have you ever come across a seemingly silly, unimportant, trash-worthy item before and upon further inspection realized it was precious?!  the other day we received a circular in the mail from American Girl.  I set it out on the table knowing full well lilly would LOVE to flip through it.  little did i know this silly little magazine would become a precious keepsake...

the cover reads, "start from the back and work your way to the front".  upon lilly's request i am not posting more than the cover - but, let me tell you she went through each page with a fine tooth comb circling, making notes and highlighting all of the things that her sweet heart desired.  words do no justice to how precious each page is.  who knew we would find such a keepsake in a silly advertisement.
