The Palm Beach Post Whoopi Goldberg goes goblet shopping in West Palm - January 16th 2011
by Jose Lambiet
Actress/TV talker Whoopi Goldberg created a scene on West Palm Beach’s Antique Row the other day. Barbara Walters’ co-host on The View, was in town for an appearance at the Kravis.
But she materialized at the Devonia Antiques for Dining store on South Dixie (above), and raided the place of Gilded Age table tops as a crowd gathered outside the store.
“Whoopi has an extensive collection,” said store owner Lori Hedtler. “She loves to entertain at home and she uses the thousands of goblets and plates that she’s collected. She likes to know the history of each piece she buys.”
On Friday, Goldberg left the posh shop with Royal Worcester soup bowls, Tiffany plates and 19th century bejeweled Moser goblets.
Note from blogger: I recently found a Russian plate, a teapot, and candy dish...that I shelled out $13.00 for ..not sure of their value..after poring through the Internet discovered a nice return..approximately $210.00 much more fun than selling product and building a downline.. Here is some info if you want to try it..reading up a little bit to start is key...later you can build knowledge on your choices..Recently I picked up a book on knives for my son..and he was surprised at what monetary value some of the antique knives held.
