I’ve looked
- in the pocket of every coat worn this week
- in the pocket of all pants worn this week
- in every pocket of each purse used this week
- under couch cushions
- under a tree in the backyard where you watered plants when you go home
- on a window sill
- on a book shelf
- in your gym bag
- in the knitting bag
- in the library bag
- on the bedroom dresser
- on the guest room dresser
- on the dressing room dresser
- in the cutlery drawer
- on the kitchen counter
- in the fridge (keeping Heather’s phone company)
- on the key rack
- with the lost harp tuning key, wandering free
- tangled within the bed sheets
- in the dog bed
- on the fireplace mantle
- on the ironing board
- by the sewing machine
- on the washing machine
- rattling around inside the washing machine
- buried on the coffee table
- on the computer desk, or the other computer desk, or the other computer desk
So– where have YOU found your keys? Mine have to be here somewhere. Additional suggestions appreciated!

One of the most popular posts on my blog is https://shawnbird.com/2011/03/02/places-to-look-for-lost-keys/. Since last March when I wrote that one, my keys have been reasonably well behaved, staying clipped onto the handle of my purse where they belong most of the time. (This is a good strategy- I use a large carabiner clip). For Christmas this year my husband was finally able to find a gift he’s been hunting for about 20 years. He bought me a key finder.
A key fob is attached to my key ring, and I just push a button on the finder and the key fob beeps. It beeps VERY quietly, but it beeps. So long as my hearing stays good, and I don’t lose the finder component of this system, it may do the trick.
PS. He found it at Canadian Tire, if you need one too.
