They call it “Grandmacore” these days
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.
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’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 not takes. If we are lucky, some of the lovely lunch places will take donated dishes.
They sound nice & respectful. Appreciative. ☺️
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. ❤️

Decisions, Decisions. What to wear. #shopping #baby ... See MoreSee Less
Add a great beacelet to the burgundy one after you shove up the sleeves!
The purple one and the white blouse! Love your little fashion shows! I always need to get a size larger for my grandma arms! I always say my Grandmother is always with me! Lol
1) Too long 2)too short 3) too big 4) potential, great color, good arm fit, if gold pin isn't removable, keep looking!
Beige with blouse under was nice
Definitely the last one!
Voting for the maroon...
NO on the brown
I would wear any, except the one with the clip. I prefer my tops a little longer as I carry my weight in the mid section.
Wonderful choices all! But I heard you can thrift stuff!!??
💯 the last one! The color and fit are so much better. Roll the sleeves back to show your wrists and I think you will like the sleeves better. Good luck!
I like the third one with the round neck.
I like the first one and the last. But the last one is definitely your color!
I love v necks they are very flattering
I agree with the last one. The color looks really good with your complexion.
You always look nice.
I Love that purple color! 💓
You are looking pretty good. I liked them all.
The purples are good colors for you!!
I love the first green color (not the V, etc, but nailed on the plum sweater.
Love the last one on you.
Go for set in sleeves not drop shoulders or raglan sleeves. Marion
Last one, can you take that clip off or put it a bit lower? Love the fit and color.
It is hard shopping for clothes.
The dark plum one, what a great color on you!
V necks are flattering on big busted women.

Busy day—about high finance, grey blending, baby diapers, and tire pressure. Watch! ... See MoreSee Less
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!
Learning new skills on top of all you do. You’re awesome 😎
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! ... See MoreSee Less
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
Wish I found it.

Looking good 👍
The army green is special 👍👍!
Love army green, light brown and purple,but they really all look great Dr Lori.
Army green was smashing on you, wow 👌
Light Brown, but prefer orange, red, yellow (think fall leaves)!! And I wore Army Green for 3 years, I will pass on that one!
Purple
You're there! You can wear more colorful clothes! I like the light brown 🤎
I don’t buy many dark fall and winter colors. My 3 sisters make fun of me for wearing pastels all year long round. They tell me I dress like an Easter egg. Thank God I really can’t be insulted.
Yes!! Bright colors!!!!
I like the jacket.
Loved the plum sweater and the light brown.
Jewel Tones & V-Necks are Very Flattering on You!! ✨✨✨✨✨
Purple is so flattering on you
Army green jacket!
I loved all of those, but the olive jacket looks great! 🤩🤩🤩

Light brown and purple are your best bets.
Look at you, smiling and styling!!
Purple and army green! 💯%
The colors all look good.
Everything you picked looks really nice on you Dr. Lori you go girl 💯
Love your fashion shows! Love the light brown and the green jacket!
As well as color….the form fit…now…with your new “definition” is really nice..&…worth considering 🥰…l think 🤔 Also…when l really “ shop”… I like colors that bring out my inherent “spark”….”energy “…residing within Jus sayin
The purple and green on you looks great
