Did you take a bag with you? Under a jacket? You can almost bet that it is hiding behind or under something else. Happens to me alot. I will say a little prayer that it appears. God works in mysterious way & He even cares about your teacup pinchusion. Because it's important to you. Happy hunting. Keep us posted so we can cheer with you when you find it.

I know I have an Elf thief in my house(Or at least that's what I blame it on.) Lay something down and don't find it for months and then all of a sudden it's back(The Elf no longer has a use for it) it's so frustrating

It happens to all of us. Let us know when you find it and where.

Make another one and I am sure that you will find it the next day.

How about looking in the freezer. Did you shop on your way home? Maybe you put it away with the items you bought.

Perhaps it is with my dark socks. My rescue fur baby has a thing for dark socks. Doesn't bother light ones, only the dark ones. I am missing mates for 7 pairs of socks now.

He did a snatch and grab with me the other day and I only followed him because he left my room so quickly. The little stinker had poked his head into my class bag and snatched my pin cushion. I don't think he swallowed any though because it's been a couple of weeks and he seems fine! If I find where he hides the socks I let you know ... maybe our fur baby has a similar hiding space!

10 to 1, it's beside the 14" revolving cutting board that I took out of the Amazon package, put in a plastic tub and LOST! (over a month ago!)

Next time try "Tony, Tony" for St. Anthony the patron of lost stuff. He works faster! tee hee

I heard that if you want to find something you lost, quit looking for it. Of course, that hasn't help me find a quilt top and a ruler in my sewing room. They both are there somewhere.
