Re: [h-cost] Antiques Roadshow
The Princess Di book (hate to say it); AR doesn't really seem to care much about antique fashion, at least for the parts they televise. Or the Philippines dress. Back when I went, they cherry-picked all the televised stuff from the front of the line- the very earliest comers. Don't hold your breath about being televised :) However-- the long line was FUN! After the coffee-addicted sent partners out for caffeine, the line thawed and it was I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours, and the mile-long conversation began as we wound our way through many twists turns of the line. I toted a folding chair and _used_ it occasionally. Note: it helps to have a cart if anything you bring is heavy/awkward. A thermos or water bottle if you like coffee or hydration. Have fun! Naturally, we expect a full report! == Marjorie Wilser =:=:=:Three Toad Press:=:=:= Learn to laugh at yourself and you will never lack for amusement. --MW http://3toad.blogspot.com/ On Aug 18, 2010, at 11:12 PM, penny1a wrote: We are going to Antiques Roadshow Saturday in DC.

Hand-beaded traditional Philippians dress (we discussed this dress on h-costume) 2. An 1814 book titled Picturesque Representations of The Dress and Manners of the English.

The books are autographed by fashion designer David Emanuel (Di's wedding dress) and some of the current dress owners. They autographed the books when I worked on the dresses For newbies to h-costume, I have worked with David and seven of the charity dresses. I don't know if these would really be classified as an antique. 4. Delineator magazine collection spanning from 1880-1930. 5. A 1900s template ad book that was used by the fashion advertising industry for fashion ads in magazines and newspapers. The ads in fashion magazines were originally templates and the publisher would insert the business info into the templates for publication. Let me know what you think my 4th item should be.

Re: [h-cost] Antiques Roadshow
I agree, the Diana stuff is probably your highest probability. I'd vote for the 1814 book next, myself. Have fun!!! chimene On Aug 18, 2010, at 11:12 PM, penny1a wrote: We are going to Antiques Roadshow Saturday in DC. We have 9 am tickets. I am so excited. We can bring four items.
