We have a big party once a year and about a week before I bought a yard of fabric to bind some stockings I was making for Christmas gifts. During the last minute Rambo-style cleaning (aka hiding stuff), the bag of fabric got stuck somewhere. After a week of searching, it was mid December & I finally went out and rebought the fabric. Normally, this makes the original item magically appear, but not this time. Just found it yesterday, under our bed.
