Mary Padian was one of the stars of\u00a0Storage Wars<\/a><\/em> from Seasons 5 to 12 (and showed up in one episode of Season 13). After appearing in Seasons 2 and 3 of the spinoff Storage Wars: Texas<\/em><\/a>, she joined the flagship show for three episodes of Season 5 in 2014 before becoming one of the main buyers in Season 6.<\/p>\n Padian got her start as the owner of Mary\u2019s Finds, where she turned \u201ceveryday trash into beautiful furnishings to sell to local interior designers.\u201d This led her to begin attending storage auctions for raw materials.<\/p>\n It\u2019s now been more than four years since Padian has been in an episode of Storage Wars<\/em> (and six years since she was a regular cast member). Scroll down to find out what happened and what she\u2019s up to now.<\/p>\n Padian has not publicly spoken about her reason for leaving\u00a0Storage Wars<\/em>, but her decision to move back to Texas from California likely had something to do with it. The purpose of her Season 13 appearance in 2021 was so she could reveal that she was heading home.<\/p>\n It seems like Padian was ready to return to her roots and her own business, rather than appearing on the television show. She\u2019s also been very dedicated to Ubuntu Life, a charity that makes \u201chigh-quality, handmade products that provide sustainable and meaningful employment\u201d for women in Kenya.<\/p>\n While Padian closed the physical storefront of Mary\u2019s Finds amid the COVID-19 pandemic, she continues to run an online version of the store.<\/p>\n \u201cMary\u2019s Finds is an eclectic mix of handmade, vintage & one-of-a kind home goods I have collected from treasure hunting around Texas. Expect collectibles, glassware, toys, ceramics, and more,\u201d her website says. \u201cI rummage through wreckage to salvage vintage!\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to running her store, Padian has become a bit of a social media influencer and often posts ads for various brands on her Instagram. Plus, she gives her thrifting tips in more personal videos.<\/p>\n Padian\u2019s exact relationship status is unclear, but she did seemingly hard-launch a new man on Instagram in September. She posted a series of photos with a man she identified as Pierce in the caption.<\/p>\n \u201cAdventures in Austin, Tx with Pierce! (The guy without an insta account)<\/p>\n \u2764<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,\u201d Padian wrote.<\/p>\n One photo featured the apparent couple sunbathing on the beach, while another showed them posing on a balcony, and other shots showed them in selfies in the car and at a restaurant. She did not include any other specifics in the caption.<\/p>\nWhy did Mary Padian leave\u00a0Storage Wars<\/em>?<\/h2>\n
