Mary Padian, affectionately known as the “Junkyard Queen,” became a fan favorite on A&E’s Storage Wars for her quirky charm and creative eye. She first appeared on Storage Wars: Texas in 2012 and later joined the original California-based series, where her knack for turning discarded items into treasures made her stand out among the cast.

Today, Mary continues her passion for upcycling through her online store, Mary’s Finds, where she sells vintage and refurbished items. While her original Dallas storefront has closed, her digital presence remains strong. She frequently shares updates and behind-the-scenes glimpses of her projects on Instagram, keeping fans engaged with her latest finds and creative endeavors.

Mary Padian is more than just a reality TV favorite—she’s a woman with a mission. Beyond her entrepreneurial pursuits, Mary pours her energy into philanthropy, making a real difference in the lives of others. She proudly supports Ubuntu Life, a nonprofit that empowers Kenyan women by turning their handmade crafts into opportunities that fund life-changing healthcare for children with neurological conditions. Adding her signature touch, Mary even helped design the vibrant “Joy Bracelets,” with every purchase directly fueling the charity’s work.

Though Storage Wars has seen plenty of faces come and go, Mary continues to shine as one of its most beloved stars. Her passion for sustainable living, paired with her unwavering dedication to giving back, paints a picture of a woman whose influence reaches far beyond the screen. Whether she’s unearthing hidden gems in dusty storage units or uplifting communities across the globe, Mary Padian proves that true success is measured not just in treasures found—but in lives touched.
