Yesterday I was invited to do a pick at a home that burned down a few months ago. There wasn’t a lot left, but I did find a few pieces that I’ll be refurbishing over the next few months.
It was pretty sobering to see the remnants of all the beautiful things that were ruined. Fortunately, they are only things, there was no loss of life in the fire. Still, in a fire you don’t just lose your possessions, you lose the photos, keepsakes, children’s artwork, etc.
Picks many times are just digging through people’s stuff, but this one really made me think.
