Back home. Let the detox begin. #travel #shopping
WW and Betty Ford for me after a cruise!🤣🤣🤣
yum, hummus!
I like taking the cottage cheese and laying it in the groove of the celery, delicious snack.
Looks great! We usually fix a frozen pizza the day we get home. And after that it's back to better eating. I also schedule a grocery delivery while at the airport in order to have fresh produce delivered the morning after we get home. I'm always way too tired and jet lagged to go to the grocery store.
Yum…
You got this!!!
Yum!
Oh wow, you can do this! Go go go
Welcome Back, the food looks yummy, but travel food looks yummier lol.
Welcome home, Dr. Lori! Thank you for sharing your trip with all of us.😊
Hmmmm.....I don't see any Greek yogurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome home!

Great! Welcome home 🙂

So you call yourself a collector, a thrifter…do you know what were history’s first collectible? Seashells! They were collected by travelers—mainly sailors—and brought home, placed in wonder chambers (private rooms made for souvenirs) and discussed as conversation pieces about the places visited. Curio cabinets housed them! Cool, huh?! #travel
Can you tell the age of the seashells collected 10 yrs ago verses 100 yrs ago? Also, is their much $$ value to them?
I have a lot of sand dollars! Always fascinated by shells!
I’ve collected many shells from Florida beaches 🐚

My tips for what’s hot now…like right now! #taylor #wedding #250 #july4th

Thank you. 😊

Can’t get enough of designer bags. The pink #chanel OMG! #designer #shopping #fashion
Thank goodness it’s not really my weakness. I have enough others !!!
💗Chanel bag
Cute designer bags!
Love the pink and white one!
Personally I have been a Coach girl...but 2 years ago my granddaughter's gift to me was a Michael Kor...it is pink...and everyone just raves about it....so I'll never leave Coach entirely...but this Michael Kors is growing on me...
What's the one with the"H"
They are beautiful! I've recently developed an addiction to vintage leather Coach. I never really cared for them when I was younger. I'm about to attempt to restore a black one I picked up a couple weeks ago.
Keep your eyes open at the thrift store!
love the Chanel bag too !!
I love beautiful bags, but I'm SO lazy about changing them ... I started using a Baggu cargo sling (maybe $60?) a couple yrs ago for a trip and have never changed over. If I'm dressing up, sometimes I put a few necessities in a pretty bag to carry ... but I'm not the bag-switcher I wish I was...
My addiction is purses!!
Is it oak? What did my Dad always ask me about appraising? Watch me value a copy of The Gettysburg Address, a stoneware crock and a nightstand on Pittsburgh Today Live with Heather Abraham and David Highfield
Cobh Ireland was freezing but fun! Titanic history, colorful architecture and warm people. Luck of the ☘️ #shopping #travel
Cold ? They just had a heat wave.
Well, Dr. Lori. Is there any place you are not going to, on this fantastic voyage that you wanted to go to? Vacation/trip of a lifetime.
My great grandmother was scheduled on it two days before she got sick . I wonder if someone saved our bloodline? She could not go
So beautiful there. I want to go back someday.
My favorite place in the world, Ireland, been 2 times and want to go again.

Yard sale tips! #shopping #thrift
The negotiation is my favorite part!
Early bird catches the worm. Always show up early !
You just have to make a ask of yourself.
It used to be you had to compete with a lot of women. I had went to a garage sale not too many years ago. The man must’ve been in his late 40’s and was driving a nice sports car. He immediately went to a tray of antique jewelry and picked up the whole tray of jewelry and carried it over to another table and picked out all of the good pieces of jewelry. That was the first time I remember seeing someone of that caliber shopping at a garage sale.
take a cotton ball to run over glass items cking for miniscule chips/cracks
Great tips
Thanks for the tips, it is the season!!!!!
I love #shopping #thrifting 🤗
Dr Lori… you’re the best. !!!!!!
Thanks, Dr Lori, for saying to sleep in. My husband's always pushing me to go early. My contention is no one is going to deal when they just opened. Sounds a little crazy but I think if its meant for me it will be there.
Yay!
I have beena full time Ebay seller for 27 years and have NEVER been to a thrift store, yard sale, estate sale, auction etc. Why? Because 80% of all items sold every single day on Ebay are brand new products purchased from multi quantity listings. NOT used one offs. Where to get bulk wholesale new products? MANUFACTURERS.
Bring cash (small bills, $1s & $5s).
Shopping in Ireland for Belleek, Waterford, and fisherman’s knit wool sweaters put me over my limit. My luggage won’t zip! Yikes! #travel #ritzcarltonyachtcollection #shopping #vintage
Gotta buy another piece of luggage lol!
Belleek is my favorite. Cobh is where my mother emigrated from in 1952. It was called Queenstown then. She was 21.
First time I went to Ireland I had to buy an extra bag as I had been there for a month, I also shipped a few Waterford home lol 😂
Roll each item like the tightest Taquito!🌯 or... They do sell luggage there. 🤔 So you've got options. 😉 Hope your having fun!
You need a vacuum bag to put it all in then suck the air out. Then it will all fit.
Be still my heart ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗
I collect Belleek!
Dr Lori ,we shipped our treasures home from Ireland !
Love Ireland and Scotland! The sweater is beautiful!
love those Irish sweaters!
OMG! My favorites! ❤️.
Enjoy & Be Safe
What is the food like? Those wool sweaters are $$$. They are nice and warm though.
Wonderful items to buy!!!
I've got a lot of things from Ireland.
Isn’t it grand! Fill her up!
Ship!
Plymouth, Devon had some super charity (thrift) shops! Amazing… #vintage stuff. I bought a golden hair clip and saw great finds. #shopping #murano #jewelry #travel
Do you ever see any American items over there in thrift stores? Any of our vintage items in demand? Just curious. Have fun!
I don’t care if it’s expensive or it’s not. I love vintage jewelry. I pretty much always shop the secondary market.I’ve sold on the secondary market, for many years. Many times I had very little money, and I would sell something for more than I made in ten minutes, more than I made in a whole day at work.It’s a win for all parties involved. The thrill of the hunt, the buyer and the seller:) Don’t forget, it’s not only economical, it’s environmentally friendly. 😊
You would be the “one” to thrift with!!!!
Love live love the dragonfly pin!!!!
I love going to the charity stores in Great Britain.
Nice!
Ooo-Laa-Laaaaa! 😍
