Money, usually money. Gold dollars mainly. Once I found $100 that I didn't spend out of walk-around money. This last year I found a set of car keys I thought I lost. Now that my daughter is mobil, she gathers glass stones (faerie gems), and I usually end up with a few of those in my pouch.

Hmmmm out BBQ spit still had what looked like some scraps of meat from last season.  Not a good find, lol!

Getting ready for faire this year I noticed that my green belt was looking faded and worn, so I decided to buy another one. Later I opened my pouch to find a beautiful new green belt that I had bought last year and forgot all about. Saved me some mead money. ;D

I was helping break down our site after this weekend at the Dubuque Renaissance Faire, and was trying to find the King's goblet. I opened the lid to the little table with a fabric storage compartment under it and found... my son's belt and leather pouch that had turned up missing at the end of the Des Moines Faire last year! He was very happy to find it, as was I.  ;D

Well I just found a bottle of raspberry Loki I made... at least 2 years ago.  I can't recall but I know it was leftover after last season from the previous year. I'm sure it's still good.... (right?)

Was putting together my basket for Scarby this year and found I still had a little bit of my apple pie loki in my flask from TRF... now THAT was a happy find! (gotta make more!)

A walking stick from several years ago that I forgot I bought.

LOL!  Well I didn't find it, but a friend of ours found it in with her stuff.  A necklace & pendant that I wore two years ago and fell in love with.  It is about an inch and a half in diameter silver knotwork piece.  Absolutely gorgeous.  Thought that it has accidentally been lost or placed with our goodwill donations sometime back.  Then just two days ago I receive a text message with a picture of it asking "Is this yours?".  I was completely ecstatic!

I found some old faire favors stashed in a purse that I had quit using. Brought back some memories.

Last year we did the wine tasting at Scarby, and got a pair of the crystal goblets with the Cat & Fiddle logo etched in them. Thought they were really special! Got home and were putting them away and found another pair of the etched goblets in the cabinet. We have no memory of when we got them!

On one of my very first trips to TRF, I got home and was counting my money (back in those days I had money to spare :P) and I found out I had gotten a dollar back as change with "I was at the 2004 Texas Renaissance Festival" stamped on it, i loved it!

I put it in my old wallet and would always try to carry it with me when I went to any faire. I thought I had accidentally spent it a few years ago, but one of the good things about moving is I found my old wallet with the dollar still in it! I got to take it with me back to TRF this season, and it shall join me forever more at any faire, pending I don't lose it again ;D

Every year I find ye olde Avaloch pounds, the purple Monopoly-like money used to buy food @ GLMF. This year I was pleased to find a couple of favors and some jewelry I thought I had lost for good.

How about stuff you don't find? I can't find 2 pairs of shoes that I bought at TRF. I'm sure they will turn up eventually.

I bought a fan at the St Louis Ren Faire a couple years ago, and it took me around three moves and 1.5 yrs until I found it again, tucked into the side of my laptop bag.

I bought this yummy purple and gold chalaice from wonderous works of wood.  I used it one season.  Then some how it disappeared.  The PP said it went with us to NZ. It wasn't in the stuf in NZ.  He thought it was with the stuff we left in storage.  Nope.  We can not find it any where.
It is kind of strange watching your personal history become costume.
