B.C. Thrift Store Find Casts Warm Light on Nova Scotia Family

  • Julia Ghersini, beginning a new role in film production at a studio located in Langley, purchased a lighthouse-themed lamp from a thrift store in Maple Ridge to brighten her office that lacked natural light.
  • She shared a photo of the 30-centimetre wooden lighthouse lamp on a Nova Scotia-themed Facebook page in an effort to locate John and Sheila, whose names appeared on the item.
  • Ghersini quickly gathered thousands of likes, learned John and Sheila had passed away and never had children, but had large families in Nova Scotia who rallied after her post.
  • She expressed surprise at how popular it became, noting that she switches it on as soon as she wakes up and it's the final light she switches off before going to bed.
  • The post reunited family members from opposite sides of Canada who plan a reunion, and Ghersini was invited and might write a movie script about the experience.
