On Wednesday, my friend Jan and I had a wonderful adventure when we spent the day in Vernon attending the Canadian Antiques Roadshow. It was an amazing day of meeting some very interesting people and many incredible items. I borrowed some antiques from my friend Marcy and was able to gain some insight into the history and value of her items. However as we know, the greatest value of most of the antiques there (and in our homes or possession) is sentimental. It was great hearing some truly fascinating stories of how some of people acquired their items and the stories behind the items they brought to the show. We also saw Valerie Pringle and I managed to ambush her and get some pictures - I promised to put her picture on my fridge right beside Mary Walsh (even though I love Mary Walsh more). It was such a fun day - I loved the whole experience and we even bought matching t shirts to celebrate the day!! Thanks Jan!
