Trash TV

My hubby and I have been really enjoying watching the show American Pickers. I had never heard the term picker before this show. A picker in this case is a person who buys and seeks out antiques in unusual places by going straight to the source. The source is usually a old barn where they get farm fresh finds. But I am betting we all know someone who is a picker or collector of junk. I love Frank and Mike who they follow in this show. They run Antique Archeology(Mike Wolf's website). It is all about embracing what is one man's trash is sombody elses treasure.
