Antiques Roadshow

The Antiques Roadshow was in Raleigh yesterday, and the McMom and I went. I don't know what was better - seeing what people were bringing in, or seeing the actual people. There was some very interesting people watching to do.

While in line, here're some of the items we saw.

Seemingly medieval weapons:




Pizza? We wondered if this guy thought the line was going to be longer than it was and figured he needed sustenance.


A table like one I have, except mine's in much better shape:


Here's mine beside the couch:


Mine has little wheels on the bottom, too, and it squeaks when it rolls just like the table at the show did.

As we were leaving the inner part where you were able to show your stuff to the appraisers and hope for a windfall (and where they were filming), I took this picture of people waiting in the various lines:


And then this is looking out over that scene a couple minutes later when we got up to the next floor.


Well, neither the McMom nor I are going to be rich if we sell what we took to the show, but it was a neat experience. Thanks for taking me, McMom!

Sounds like you didn't have a problem getting in, my email must have done the trick!

Thanks for the help -- it was a well oiled machine! Considering the information we gathered.... we were glad it didn't take 1/2 of the day!! Cindy/ The McMom
