Title: Antiques Roadshow
Post by Enna on Jun 13th, 2010 at 4:18pm
Went to the Antiques Roadshow in San Diego at the Convention Center yesterday afternoon.

Saw an older lady (65+) totally white hair - crown to tip - with a hip length braid. Lovely!

How lovely to see someone with that color! 
I have always wanted to go to that show. How was it?

It was fun, lots of waiting in line but really neat to see all the stuff people brought. 

Was watching the show a few months ago and they said to get tickets you enter your info on the website for a lottery drawing and I won 2 tickets. That was amazing in itself as I NEVER win anything. So we were able to take two items per ticket. I brought a Vivika & Otto Heino ceramic bowl I bought at their studio in Ojai in 1995 for $60 and found out it's now worth $300-400! The other things we brought, a 10 x14 print, a Simplicity Sewing book from 1947 were worth a few dollars. But one lady brought in two 3' tall handmade ceramic canning/pickeling jars that she found out were worth $16,000! It's a good thing she was sitting down when they told her  :)
