Antique envy

I really shouldn't watch Antiques Roadshow.  It's not that I think I've ever owned some fabulous antique and let it get away from me without realizing its value.  Even with my massive downsizing four years ago I didn't sell (or give away) anything even closely resembling a fabulous antique.  This evening's show was particularly depressing because is was a recap of their most fabulous finds.  I particularly liked the pretty little table that a woman bought in an antique shop for $25 that later sold at acution for over $500,000.  There was also a beautiful woven Indiaa (Native American if you prefer) blanket that sold for several thousand dollars.  Somehow, I don't think that the acrylic yarn scarves that I've been weaving  lately would ever sell for much more that $5. Although maybe I'll be discovered and become the Grandma Moses of weaving.  This definitely falls into the "don't hold your breath" catagry.
