	This palette can be very helpful if you cannot find an item on your lot (such as when you forget what container an item is in, or when an item disappears from view). You can search for the item in the decoration palette window, then simply drag the item out of the ~~window~~ and into your inventory (which moves the item from the lot/basement/dungeon and into your inventory).
