Happy belated Thanksgiving I loved how your picture came up😄 the split pic, it looks like the turkey is going to jump into pumpkin pie. 😆 The only thing I cooked was a big pot of Chili. We ate at the neighbors, my daughter had been sick, they were going somewhere else. It was all good.
Happy thanksgiving.

Dr. Lori values the silver toned Dogwood earrings at $100. I have had numerous pairs of these and have never seen them sell for more than around 20 or $30. Maybe they’re a little higher now, but I have a serious question. Where on earth can you sell those earrings for $100? I’ve had a bricks and mortar store in an upscale Atlanta neighborhood, and Etsy shop, and I’ve sold on eBay and I’ve never seen a venue get that kind of money for a little earrings like that. I do know that Crown Trifari Jewelry can bring good money, but for me, that has always been for unusual sets, but definitely not odd pairs of earrings, even when they’re signed. I’ve had an antique business since around 1984.
Where is yesterday, November 24th's 5pm EST Dr. Lori video? 🙂
I would need more info. 🤔👀🤭
Well I still have “ Camel Cash” coupons that my daughter was saving. A friend gave to her back in 90’s! & the catalog. What’s that worth?
I have a couple camel lighters.

Hi Dr. Lori.... do you do appraisals? If not, where can I get the following appraised?
Lori Mikos, I think that you must work for Dr. Lori. There's no way someone can be around so much and not be part of her team. Am I correct?
Dr. Lori, Happy Thanksgiving!~ Lori, The "small town pastoral" on your set that I referred to yesterday, was actually one from a video you did on April 29th of this year, your back right (to viewer's left). I was enquiring if it was a "Warren", whom was also from Conn., just like the scene in the painting, as you had described it at one point. I could leave a link to show examples of his work for comparison,....But, this is your page and not the place to do it. Enjoy your day. And steer clear of the pettifore.~ 🙂
Awesome👍
A guest's pet makes a cameo as I appraise your stuff. Goodwill misses more silver marked pieces, Bluebox scores, a pipe from the early 1800s, #jewelry, more. How do you find the valuables? Watch, I show you how!
I love the diva Miss Piggy. I’m checking in from Houston Texas
yay finally caught you live. I refered someone to you today with a brooch.thanks for all your knowledge
Watching and learning as always. Love Kermit. Thank you Dr. Lori and staff! Happy Thanksgiving!🦃❤️
Love watching you! I learn lots from you. Love Kermit and Miss Piggy! I'm watching with covid right now. Feeling ok.

Saw you on "Oak Island" last night!
Dr. Lori and Team: Thank you so much! That was fun, again. And it brightened my pre-Holidaze argument(s) with my brother. Lucky that I did not share a couple of Joan Rivers' jokes, from the early 80s. Thanks again. I'll be sure to *Share*! 😇👍
Kermit from Jacksonville Florida
This lady is crazy! Love her!
