Dr. Lori, We need more videos!
Of the precious moments, I only have two. I've never seen anyone else have the little girl pilot. I have another one, but mom gave it to me and it's not going anywhere. 🤔
Great video. I found out what a clamp tray it. You just have to go look. Was not going to stop at the thrift store on Friday but I did and found Pyrex black/snowflake divided dish. $2.99. Yes I asked for discount you just have to make a ask of yourself.
Just watched that video. Tons of info in it!! Thanks 😊

I had one and I broke it. It was a Marine.
Dr Lori, I guess you sped up the talk to fit more in but not sure I like it 🤷 Seems too fast at times. Good to have you back more, though 🙂

Stayed at the opryland hotel back in the day when they still had the theme park. Went on a riverboat cruise. Went to a performance at Opryland when Alan Jackson was an emerging CW musician...fun 4 days.
Omg I love it!😻
You had to do it! (Buy the gooey cluster!)
Man, that sounds good doc.
Love your sweatshirt and the color!
It was so great to meet you at the ShopGoodwill summit! Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤️
Never have been there. It’s on my bucket list
Love the Country Chic sweatshirt! Great souvenir 😊
I'm onboard with everything in that GooGoo Cluster but the marshallow ....
Sounds like fun!
Nice enjoy and be safe
The GooGoo Clusters with pecans are good. I'm just about 50 minutes away from Nashville. Was just there a few days ago. Wish we could have met up for coffee or tea. Maybe your next trip there.
Nashville, love that city! Have fun!
One additional line they forgot on the packaging, consume mass quantities! Yep that's me, a conehead ! For anyone who is too young to know who the coneheads were, search SNL on YouTube for coneheads, always get a kick out of consuming mass quantities.
Love the country chic vibe!! 🤩

These #vintage roller skates, a sake cup and a doll. Which do you pick up when thrift #shopping? Watch at tinyurl.com/3zuj3s7d and find out this week on ABC TVTampa Bay's Morning Blendning BlNatalie Taylorlie Taylor and @Roxanne.Wilder.9 ... See MoreSee Less

For me it would be the skates bring back childhood memories I have an old pair not in that good of shape and I still have my skate key LOL
Do you only appraise antiques, or do you do vintage items too? I acquired a rare Trifari brooch (green poinsettia) and I am thinking of having it appraised.
I member the day I got mine. I rode my bicycle to where my dad was working. He gave me 4 dollars and so went to hardware store and purchased my skates.
I had skates like those. That was a very looooong time ago!
Probably the doll.
What a fun memory
