It's getting to be just like the movies No one has an original thought anymore. Just a lot of reruns. Maybe he thought no one would notice. 🤔😉🤷
My son's ex-girlfriend only wanted David Yurman's jewelry! I don't have to tell you how expensive that was. And I was not impressed at all to be truthful. 🙁 Just a name! Not worth the price.

I was a model years ago and was Dr Swatch. Went to Switzerland for a show once. Those were the days.
What are you seeing on prices for vintage ones 😊
I’m thinking you have worn a couple of the watches pictured. I like the Daisies 😊
They look like my kind of watch I love quirky. ❤️
I still have my swatch watch!
I have Coke swatch from the 80’s!
I bought a new one about 3 yrs ago now, white w/a glow face. Love it 😀

Videos are the best...always
Great video. You did well with pronouncing Hutschenreuther (hootshenroyter). My first language is German. 😉
Love your videos
I wanna say that was the Goodwill where the worker asked us if we were from there and we said no...and she was like...it's about to be dark and you want to get home....soon. We skedaddled on out of there. But first we made the wrong turn when leaving...you want to go left, not right. 😅 Right takes you straight into a worse area than the GW. Was a fun trip.
Our good will around here never have anything nice to look at.🤷🏻♀️

Farmers market had some beauties. Can you guess my favorite flower? ... See MoreSee Less
Begonia
All of the above? Love all the color--the more the better imho.
Colors are just amazing 👏 😍
Calla Lily’s popped into my mind for some reason.
Such vibrant colors! Beautiful!
Beautiful geraniums!
I’m guessing geraniums.
Geraniums?
Gerber daisies are my favorite 🌼
Gerber daisy’s
Beautiful
Lillies or pansies maybe. My mom liked fuchsia, sweet peas, lady slippers and geranium. I like fuscias the best, and then begonias
Geraniums?
They are all pretty:)
The dahlias?
I’m going to guess geranium! They are all beautiful.
Oh, just saw the answer! I love lilacs quite a bit myself.
On a “Binge Watch” PHL17 segment you relayed you liked Gerber Daisies 🌼🌸🌼

I had to give up almost all of my glass when I moved. My heart still hurts. I kept some of my perfume bottles and a vase. Not sure what else has made it as I'm still unpacking.
Thanks for your tips...soooo much knowledge 👍
Have a great day!
Why would it matter? If you like the piece you get it
And weight?
Pontil, sorry
All respect, so please forgive me
Dr. Lori , You obviously are the Holy Grail, but ….. what about when the pintail has been ground?
So knowledgeable!
Hi Dr Lori, I found your “Binge” videos yesterday. Thanks for spending the day with me. 😊 I watched 200+ after watching several Goodwill finds videos. You are amazing. 🤩
DR Lori, hello from a 70-degree day in downtown Boston. Shop therapy. Do you ever discuss in your classes--or publicly online or while at an event or even when on TV... Do you discuss shopping addiction? Just curious.
Thanks Dr Lori! I love that tip. I am seeing this on the way to the antique store. ❤️
👍👍☺️🇺🇸🌎
This is why we love you 🙂 A wealth of information 🏆
So I get that a pontail is good. But seams, they are bad or good?
Thanks for the tip
Your looking fantastic!!!
Always great tips
Thank you.
You have taught me so much. I can at a glance head right to the good stuff. Thank you Dr. Lori!
I appreciate the way you explain things in a very simple and direct way. Thanks Dr Dr. Lori!

That's cool about your dad. Who did he pitch for? We grew up in Toledo and went to the Toledo Mudhen games all summer. Then our dad would take us up to Detroit to watch the Tigers. I think he did that too give our Mom a break.
