Charlene loved antiques, especially the Victorian Era, that much was clear. Her home was filled with it: clocks, furniture, dolls, pictures.
She perhaps loved them too much. She collected items even if they were broken or chipped, and there were a lot of broken and chipped items. A lot of them, though, were not broken or chipped. Some of her stuff was rather ordinary, some of it was fairly extraordinary.
All of it is gone now, as is Charlene. She didn’t take it with her.
I gather no one shared her passion. I hope everything found worthy homes.
Some things found good new homes, but right now Victorian style is not greatly sought after. Her family thought much of it was ugly and just wanted it gone so they could bring in their own things.
