Oh that bike is lovely! I'd definitely try leaving a note!

Meli's "Frenchie" is an Astra, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm really pleased to see a little info on "swoopy" mixtes, as there is one near me here in south London (UK) which I've been hoping to find some info on. I've posted 3 photos on Flickr - here's a link to one:

The only sticker/decal is the one at the bottom of the seat tube which just says "OIN" (or "DIN" - sorry, should have got a better pic). No idea what that's meant to signify.
This bike hasn't moved for months but I don't think it's abandoned. I might have to leave a note on it somewhere asking the owner to get in touch...

The only other loop-frame mixte I am aware of is one in San Francisco belonging to 'Meligrosa'. She posts a lot on Flickr and refers to her mixte as "the Frenchie" so it may well be a Peugeot.

Congrats again on yours, ummbnb!
