Here’s my take on Ross’ birthday surprise. Welly is amazing and Ross was surprised. Such love! Dr. García-Mathews Ross Mathews
Glad it worked out. Nice to have such great friends.
That is great.
Love this!
I enjoyed it! It was so cute.
New Hope was great in the 90’s.
Glad you had such a good time. 💕
That’s great Dr Lori. Hope you get to hang out with them more
That's my childhood introduction to the art world... My world now which I love. Oh I loved to play that board game as a kid. Lost & Found in Cleveland is the holiday movie that will inspire your family to look more closely at family heirlooms and cool vintage stuff. Streaming soon. A must-see film. Oh, and that PhD appraiser played by Martin Sheen... who do you think that character is based on? Go ahead guess!
We love Dr. Lori! Do I hear watch party? Now Available to Rent or Buy on Prime Video Streaming and Blu-ray starting Nov 3!
Loved playing this with my brother. I was strategic.
I have that game and it truly is my favorite also!!
I'm such a fan of my friRoss MathewsthewsTío W Garcia-Mathewsthews --celebs, authors, lovely gentlemen, and thrift shoppers extraordinaire. What a fun day I spent with them and sweet Audrey surprising and celebrating Ross's big Bucks County birthday.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.About time you get your own show.
That was so cool!!!
Wow what an I love those guys and you too Dr Lori.
No way 😲 …Grab my pearls moment
More shopping…I didn’t buy, I walked by.
I always get my clothes too big. I feel like I am in a straight jacket , if something is too tight.I think the shell one did not look too bad. You could always have put a white button down shirt underneath to dress it up:)
You look great! I like the shell one, just smaller & the sleeveless on it's own or layered. When I finally lost 50lbs, I still picked/ordered the same size. It's hard to look at a smaller size & realize that it fits.
Love the blue top - you're looking great!
Skinny woman. You get smaller every time I see you. Looking good.
I like big sweatshirts
Turn sideways, we won't be able to see you. Looking fabulous
You look great , 👍 wow 🤩
But I liked the blue one
I like that green jacket you had on the other day. 💚
The ivory is nice blue too.
I wear larger sweaters they are comfortable
You look beautiful! Good for you! ❤️ I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been in my life and I would love to find something too big 😱
The white looks great color wise but hits less than flattering but color and style looks great
No to all three. There are so many things you look fabulous in, just not any of those, sorry.
I like them all!
Shell
I would rather have a root canal without novocaine than go clothes shopping! 😒😞☹️
The tank top actually looks best! Pair it with a denim jacket or black cardigan. You look fantastic!
You look great 👍
U honestly look great in all of them. But 2 and 3 maybe wins
The shell sweater in a smaller size might look nice - that style might also just be baggy (in that case - no)! I do like the beige tank top, maybe with a lightweight jacket?
I like them all on you keep up the good work 
Love the ivory. Jazz it up with a denim jacket.
The shell with a black jacket.
The one matches your phone case.

Ignore the myths about your kids and grandkids. #Vintage
My younger cousin didn’t want my grandmother’s Mason Vista China so she gave it to me. All 200+ pieces in perfect condition. It is such a treasure to me. I hope one of my daughters or granddaughters will want it.
That is wonderful! My adult kids have told me they are giving all my treasures to Goodwill when I pass. They don't want any of my collectibles or glassware.
Wonderful. God Bless you all. Enjoy every moment. Amen 🙏🏻 🕊🌈
You have to teach the younger generation the history of items to get the collection started. Plus the thrill of a bargain antique. Items our out in the wild.
You are fortunate to have family members that want this piece of their history. I volunteer at a non profit thrift store in SE Virginia, in an upper middle class area, and we get beautiful sets of vintage china. We price them ridiculously low and they sit for a long time. It is so sad to me.
Beautiful.
It's BS that kids "don't want..." antiques. When the secondhand 'trend' started around 2013. I would be in a secondhand store, looking at items and judging their quality. College students were whipping their cell phones out - looking-up the values of everything and anything. (Huge eye-roll) DR Lori is correct: they want your 'stuff', grandma! What is more... Gen-X'er here. Remember the film 'Pretty in Pink'. Kids or people were looked down upon others for wearing secondhand clothes. Boy have times changed...
It’s beautiful
I’ve got my Mother’s China. So far I haven’t found anyone in the family who’d like it one day. Everybody uses paper plates, even for holidays. I’ve loved it since I was a little girl, my Mother promised it to me one day. She kept her promise. ❤️
Packing tip for fragile items. Disposable (clean!!!!!) diapers work a treat. They have cushioning and the curved shape makes them a good choice for wrapping bowls and cups.
I am the ONLY one in my family who requested this stuff from my great aunt and great grandmother. I’ve got enough items to fill up a 9 room house and then some. China is my weakness when it comes to family heirlooms, next to quilts and pictures.
I’m so happy that the younger generation in your family wants “the good stuff!” However, in the Midwest, it is not true. We can’t give away china! Market place is flooded. Garage sales have no takers. If we are lucky, some of the lovely lunch places will take donated dishes.
They call it “Grandmacore” these days
They sound nice & respectful. Appreciative. ☺️
i had to beg them to take my set of 14 of Lenox… it took me 3 years to pay for it in 1987.. 😢.. it was about $2000 then..
I gave my niece a few things from my Grandma and she loves them. She appreciates the History of them and the memories of her.
Dr. Lori My husband and I volunteer at a community thrift store. We are all volunteer and completely non profit. I can tell you that college students and young women LOVE our vintage clothing, China, tea sets and decor. Furniture sells almost immediately. Baking and cookware too. It’s beautiful, well made and very in demand. It’s also very nostalgic. Mine is in the attic. I wish that I had room to display it.
My cousin got my grandmothers china a set of 18 pieces each. Being the only two grandaughters I felt my aunts should have given each of us 8 pieces but I bought the house so they told me that was my China pieces.
Millennials are after the old stuff. When I'm gone they're gonna have fun at my estate sale!
Good to hear!
Decisions, Decisions. What to wear. #shopping #baby
The crisp white blouse under the tan sweater is amazing!!!!
2nd green on. But lose those black pants. Try a nicer green to match the sweater. The contrast draws eyes to your midsection. A green would create a nice long line wo separation. Jewelry it up - gold.
I don't like V necks either. I hate that so many tops in XLARGE and up have that feature.
The purple sweater looks good but the clip is not helpful. What about a pendant that is not too long but sits at the chest?
I like the green sweater best.
Plum’s……..a definite winner!!! In all Categories!!!!!! To remember and repeat 🍎
A stylist can help guide you to the right colors and styles that would look best on you , so the search is easier
Purple!!! Yessss!
Like the burgundy one !
I don’t like any of the green,you need vibrant colors!!!!keep shopping!
The purples are good colors for you!!
👍👍☺️🇺🇸🌎
It is hard shopping for clothes.
Burgundy top black slacks
Burgundy
I Love that purple color! 💓
The dark plum one, what a great color on you!
What??? 175.00 more? Those sweaters look very nice.
Wonderful choices all! But I heard you can thrift stuff!!??
I like the burgundy on you,Dr Lori. It's flattering on you and brings out your facial beauty.🌷
I like the first one and the last. But the last one is definitely your color!
I like the third one with the round neck.
Love the last one on you.
I love the first green color (not the V, etc, but nailed on the plum sweater.

Watch my new YouTube video! More thrifting finds from the largest Goodwill in the world in Seattle, WA. Evergreen Goodwill @evergrngoodwill
Busy day—about high finance, grey blending, baby diapers, and tire pressure. Watch!
Learning new skills on top of all you do. You’re awesome 😎
You are looking so good and so happy!! Hugs & Love!! 🥰❤️🥰
Getting it done!
LOVE the hair---was busy too shopping---packing and sending out ebay stuff---visiting 8 month old granddaughter and preparing beef stew for dinner...GMAN
Definitely get the tire checked if it continues to lose air! If it was just low it could be because of temperature changes.
You go girl! 💪🏻🛞💪🏻 But just case… go by the tire shop and have it checked 😉
Congrats on the tire Dr Lori. Do you know why it lost air?
I think those diaper raffles are just a way to get extra gifts.
Please go to a tire place and get it checked out. I carry a fix-it-flat in the car.
Lol…😊love your videos and I’m watching those gray blending videos too going to do it! Have a great busy day!
You go Dr. Lori!
21 Century strong woman 👏👏😎
Sounds like a fun busy day You are one happy lady always giving to others
I’m letting my hair grow out, been wearing it bald for decades. Lori do you like bald men ? Just asking for everyone who is afraid.
Make sure you have tire checked. Mine kept leaking found out had a nail in it.
Dr Lori! Your gray hair looks silver or platinum to me! I am 74 yr old and many of my high school classmates at our last reunion let their hair go platinum. Those "girls" looked awesome! Is there some way you try on platinum??
Ask quick as you make money, it goes right back out. Always something. Have a great day!
Impressed. Wtg, on your multitasking.
Estate sale find: Abercrombie painting sells for $1.3M.
Bargains everywhere! I appraised a painting by this artist during a video call with one of you thrifters who found it at an estate sale too. Having an estate sale? Need my help!
Wish I found it.
My question is why would someone pay that much for that? Maybe it's valuable. Is it worth more than that? I don't see where it could be that valuable, but maybe it's very rare by a very well-known artist? I've never heard of Abercrombie be except the store
A big thank to you, 😁❤️for helping others find their Pot of Gold @ the end of a Rainbow. Dr. Lori.
Fantastic
