Our Ladies of the Antiques – Roadshow, that is

Fans of Antiques Roadshow will have likely seen and admired two Northwest women – Kathleen Bailey and Rhinestone Rosie (also known as Rosalie Sayyah) – who are regular appraisers on the show. Just who are they and how did they get involved with PBS’s highest-rated series? Read on to discover the answers! By the way, now in its 16th season, the Antiques Roadshow is coming to Seattle on August 18. If you have a treasure and wonder if it will allow you to retire in style, you may be able to find out by applying for free tickets (apply by April 16 – info at www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/index.html).
