I love antiques. I love things with history and things that belonged to another generation. A perfect Sunday would be a lovely breakfast and an antique auction..even if I don’t buy anything, watching people get excited over an item is fascinating for me and fun..I try and guess if they are keeping the item for themselves or buying it for re-sale. It’s always exciting and if you have a great auctioneer it’s even more fun.
I also love the Antiques Roadshow. It’s so great to try and guess the value of a piece and find out how far off I am. I also love to see the faces of people who do not realize what they have and then to find out that what they have is something so special..like this video for example- I LOVE this guy’s reaction…
And check this out…who would have guessed…I guess Jade can be appreciated by some people, I liked the bowl the most but the rest of it was maybe not my style…so who would have guessed the value of this stuff??
I missed the last auction in our area but will be keeping my eyes pierced for the next one..haven’t been in a long while and I’m feeling a strong yearning for a laid back Sunday at the auction house…
Where do you suppose these antique appraisers learn what is what? What kind of education do they have you suppose? That has always been a big question for me, where do they learn what is a keeper and what isn’t and all the info they come with is amazing!
Until next time my friends…
