I have this problem too, she just stands there in Whiterun and won't respond to E. I tried using the ring but she just appears and disappears.. :/

Had the same issue. Will dink around with it abit.

save the game and reload that save.

Thanks!! now its fixed it

Here's an interesting one. Had a ton of stuff stored with Goonie. Bought Breezehome, went inside and looked around. Called her up to clear out my stash and put some things away and it was gone. Only a handful of items left (Sort of random ones too). Checked every "tab". Crafting supplies tab was completely empty but the poitions and spellbooks were there. I check my saved games before and after walking in the door and as soon as I walked into my house for the 1st time, it seems to disappear. Anyone else have this problem?

Adding note that I also have the problem of loosing all stored items when I enter Breezehome. Only one item remains in Goonie's save areas, "Nettlebane". Restore to a save before entering house and all items are back. Enter house and they disappear again.
