Deck on walkabout?

[MaryHeather]

I have always wondered if anyone else has experienced this... your deck just disappears for a while. Later, it shows up exactly where you thought you put it.

Am I the only one this happens to?

Nope.
Personally , I attribute it to the fairies. They like decks, and some of our other things besides. And then there are the borrowers.
Yes, really.

Well it's definitely happened to me a few times! I'm just a forgetful soul though.

Just as well, I've also had a deck lost forever and a deck stolen (RAGE!!!), but I'd sure love it if those instances turned out to be "borrowers" situations as well.

I'm with Magpie9. faeries. They've been known to do that kind of thing, especially around here.

No... I'm very scatter-brained though so I lose things all the time, and later find them in a very obvious spot.

Often if you ask very nicely and explain exactly why you need the item back, the fairies will return.It has a tendency to return in a place you Know you've searched before.

LORD yes. Not to mention some of them that you KNOW (and can even PROVE !) were put in x place turn up elsewhere.

I have one on walkabout right now - sadly it is VERY special (artist's prototype; a gift from a dear friend) and I am rather upset.... I can't bear to go look again yet to see if it's back; it's been a month, and I can't bear the idea that it is still on vacation...

House brownies..... very wicked senses of humour.

What - YOU sent them. Thanks a lot. Not. One day soon I shall bravely go up there for another look...

Since I started looking for that deck that went on walkabout, I realized there are two decks out and about. Interestingly enough, I used to always find them snuggled together, even when I put them on opposite ends of my deck cabinet.

Now I have this silly image of a New Palidini and Art Nouveau deck lying side-by-side on matching towels on a beach somewhere.
