Thought I'd go ahead and get this started just in case anyone lost anything either out at camp or inside faire.

I had one of my strands of boot bells fall off of my boot on Saturday. They are brass looking bells tied to a purple braided rope.

I was lucky that some friends of mine managed to pick up my RF pin while wandering around as mine fell off of my pouch.

Anyways-

Lose something?
Found something?

Heres the place to post it!

My friend Linda lost a Sony Cybershot camera, silver in color. She thinks she left it on a bench outside one of the privies, but it was gone when they went back to look. This was about 5 pm on Saturday. She checked with lost and found on her way out no luck. If anyone can help, let me know.

The Hubby lost his cane!
Normally he walks to the privy, thus insuring he has his cane when he returns to his "Wondrous horseless carage" (many may have tried to speak to him about this magic) I am the one behind him telling you he is deaf.
Anyway this year he rode into and of course out of the privies, he thinks he may have left it there.

Yes, I know not much to go by.
Anyway if this is the worst, so be it.
Take my hand and walk with me through life, or send me in the general direction, then point and laugh!

That's Big suckage.  I hope a good person returns it to you. I hate having to cancel all those damn cards. GL

Just got back from TRF.  I've been searching high and low, but seem to have left my camera and black/red box I was carrying it in while dragging my drunken mom's carcass to our car after the fireworks.  If anyone has seen it, I'll be returning to faire on All Hallow's weekend.  I'd really like to retrieve the pics on it.  :(

Also, we just discovered mom lost a large silver handmade bracelet with settings I made her many years ago in college.  This has got to be the most expensive weekend for us.

- But, I should add that even though our losses were big for us, we had a great time.  That's why we didn't notice things were lost 'til now.  :)

Assuming the items weren't picked up and carried home by another patron, anything found on the grounds by the grounds keepers is stored up at the main office.  It never hurts to give them a call.

I was hoping there might be a "lost and found" somewhere in the faire.  Never thought to try calling.  Thank you for the advice.  I'll definitely try that.

Hey there, Blue!  Our intentions were to stop by McLotofus on Friday night to say "hi".  We made it as far as the drum circle.  Unfortunately, our attention spans just can't compete with all the distraction.  :)  Saturday night plans were dashed when the "babysitter" barely made it back to camp after faire and passed out.  (We made a last minute detour to the King's Feast where she imbibed a bit too much sangria.)  Look for Samedi and I to make it over there All Hallow's weekend for sure.  If it were my funnel cake, I'd have been happy to share it with you. :)

I lost my inhibitions and mind at faire..If found, you are more than welcome to keep them.

my virtue disappeared at faire years ago, still don't miss it.  Actually my wife lost her purse about 11 years ago and the faire mailed it to us about a week later when all else failed and I called down to check.  Money and all credit cards were in tact. 
May your cup never be empty, and your tent always be upwind of the privy.

I tried calling TRF "lost and found", but they haven't receive the bracelet or the camera/box.  Bummer.  I will try in person this weekend.

I realize this is a shot in the dark, and I'm pretty sure we will never see it again.  But, just in case, I thought I'd post a description of what mom's bracelet looked like.  It's one-of-a-kind, pretty large and hard to miss.  There is a rather large sun stone in the center setting.  I forgot what the other stones are.  But, the bracelet resembles scales and some are textured.  It makes clicking rattling noises when worn.

I don't have a pic of it, but I managed to draw up what it kinda looks like.  It's about actual size.



So please, if anyone sees it somewhere, my mom is really feeling down about losing it.  I told her not to worry about it.  It's just a material thing, but she feels bad because it was a gift and it's sentimental to her.


When I lose my inhibitions, they're usually returned to me slightly coated in shame and disgrace.
