A couple of Feed links today. First up, an article on PBS’ Antiques Roadshow. I used to watch this pretty often. It’s an entertaining and educational (well, it is PBS after all) program where people take their heirlooms, garage sale finds, and Aunt Millie’s hand knitted tea cozy in to be appraised by experts. There’s always the amusing segments with a person who brings in a “genuine Stradivarius” only to find that the bow is worth more than the violin, or the painting found in the attic which turns out to be worthless but the frame is an antique of some worth. Often there’s a truly touching moment when someone finds out their mother’s porcelain doll is worth thousands because it has some kind of hairdo that collectors drool over. I’ve also seen the, I assume original, British version which often has some really neat finds (British folks tend to have older antiques hiding out in the barn than us New Worlders).
