How sure are you that she hadn't used them yet once you asked for them back?

Is it possible that this disorganized person had taken the pieces out of the bag and was planning to use them for a project but just hadn't started yet? Then when the bag was found again, she forgot the pieces had been removed?

In any event, I think if the relationship is one that you value, you should bring it up when you see her. Try to talk it over and iron it out. Speak plainly and honestly, but without accusations. Just state the facts and how you feel. Maybe it's all a misunderstanding. After all, you originally said she could use them. It least you will have tried to fix things.
