Samantha Bayarr didn’t know why she was drawn to the antique orchard ladder above the counter at Apple Seeds, a longtime home decor shop on Main Street. A frequent patron of the store, Bayarr asked owner Betty Wetherington if she could buy the ladder, and Wetherington replied that the one in the store was not for sale but she and her husband could find another.
“I had no real use for it; I couldn’t even fit it in my car, with it being about 15 feet tall. Something just told me to take it home,” said Bayarr.
