It's snowing. Meh. And so I clicked on the tube, and Antiques Roadshow is on. I enjoy watching, in case someday anything I own actually ages enough to have value. Pfft. And they were talking about a beautiful old wooden bowl, unusually large at about 24" in length. Burlwood. And it's worth about $40K at auction. Which just blows my mind, but I'm simple. I admit, it's lovely and I am fascinated with the history as it is from the 1800's. I wish sometimes I could touch something and know its entire history.. that would be amazing. But do you think that the individual that carved it that long ago had ANY idea that it would be worth so much someday? I find that hilarious.
So this afternoon the Monkey, one of his friends and I went to paint pottery. Warm indoor stuff to do on a snowy day. And do you think that someday someone will pay $40K for my creation? I can hear the antique specialist now, "Oh my! This is SOOOO rare! A hand painted ceramic flower pot! LOOK at the detail! Just so amazing! Thank you so much for just bringing it in and giving us all the opportunity to look at it!"
AAAAAAAHAHAH! Absofreakin'lutely!!
