We hear lots of those stories, people who find original paintings or valuable items at a thrift store. Some of them I believe, some I think are just social media wannabes. I really think a lot of these things should be in a museum so everyone can enjoy them and not hidden way in some billionaires safe. But that is just me.I grew up with a hoarder parent, so I only keep things that I like to look at, stopped keeping things “just because it might be worth something someday” about 20 moves ago. Have donated lots, sent some old school memorabilia to the museum in my home town and religiously try to reduce my footprint so my kids won’t have to.

One of the best things my parents ever did was hold the long-talked-about (we are talking decades!) auction after they sold the farm and just a few weeks before my day had a heart attack and nearly died.
