It’s not sexy but it’s working. #weight
You’re an inspiration, Lori.
Very proud of you !! You are doing all the work !! 👏👏🎊🥰
I HATE most vegetables, unless they are cooked and on top of a pizza. 😁
I don't like all of it but it does look good.
Your eating all the colors! So great for you!
I would make that too.
It’s working!
That looks yummy! I am having a HARD time with not using salt or butter.
People complain that they can't find bargains anymore 🙂 See what everyone is walking by at the largest Goodwill store in the world in my new YouTube video. @evergrngoodwiEvergreen GoodwilldwillEvergreen Goodwill
That hand painted German Stein was neat
You just have to look it is out there.
I have a car trunk full of goodwill treasure. No time to go through it, or even put it. But it’s mine… the precious…🤣
#shopping again. I look better in true white—bright white—than off white. And there’s a twist at the end. Wait for it.
Dr. Lori, 'Wearing white' after Labor Day?! 😂
Looking good! No but tell them to give you more money off. Lol
You look stunning! The security thing stayed on a dress I bought. Traveled with it to Tennessee for a wedding. Never noticed it until the wedding! Had to leave it on the entire day! It was a good conversation piece!!!
Try darker colored tops with maybe jewelry in brighter colors. The white and black chop us up…so we look shorter. You’re amazing.
I am sure you are a winter. I look better in the off white and creams. I'm a fall.
Been there , done that. I only think it was once. It’s a major inconvenience.Did you ever contemplate getting a tall in your clothes. My clothes always hit me too short around my waist in hips. I bought a tall in women’s more than once, they fit perfectly:)
Love the first cardigan . Very modern and fresh. White is good too .
Looks great on you, bummer about the security tag. Ugh.
Pretty! I liked the cardigan as well!
Ask for a good discount!
I actually love the cardigan on you. Just sayin’. When you take your sweater to get the tag off, you could also pick up the cardi!
Dr Lori, you look great in white, a very nice new look for you since you have lost so much weight!!! I like the blouse you picked but also really liked ke the first one as well🤩🤩
Oh no. Another trip back. I hate when that happens. Hope other than that, you have a great weekend ❤️
The one you picked is very cute and I like the length longer then some of them. You look good in white. 😊❤️
I hate when they leave the security tag! That's a beautiful sweater! ❤️
That has happened to me. Frustrating!
You look amazing!
I like it. It looks really good on you.
Too cute!
Always you are looking quite lovely Dr Lori. Nice with your dk hair. Have a Blessed day!
Oh no, but you look so nice.
Yes happens so often.
Nailed it!
You look really good in white! I liked the cardigan one best. That collar looks good!!
I like the white button down sweater the best. It's the most flattering and attractive.
Great meeting you all. Look for my video on my YouTube channel.Enjoyed our visit with Dr. Lori today! Thank you for stopping in during your stay in Bedford!
I know meeting Dr. Lori is in my future and I can't wait.
Dr. Lori Duncansville is just right up the road from Bedford and full of delightful antique shops.
The Women in Business conference was inspiring. Enjoyed meeting you all in Bedford. The keynote was a fun recall of the steps I took in my business and media journey. Always fun to discuss how to know and share your Worth.
Love this outfit on you I'm glad you're happy Dr Lori
It was such a joy to have met you and hear your story! Thank you for coming to Bedford!
You look great!
I’m so happy to see that Audrey’s blanket arrived. Her dads tell me she likes it. Maybe it will accessorize one of her six dog beds at her house. Hug a rescue pet today. Ross Mathews #petcrafts
That’s so lovely Dr. Lori!
We lost our Argentine Mastiff Dogo a year ago. She was the sweetest girl.
Sweetie pie
The blanket is so so cute! Audrey looks like she loves it.
Little Audrey has a wonderful Aunt!!!!!
Beautiful blanket and what a sweet puppy!
My rescue gets and gives hugs every day! Rescues are the best!
It's so nice that you do this for the pets, they love the cozy blankets.
So adorable!❤️Love the blanket
My famous Darbi McGowan !
❤️ so precious. Love Audrey and her new blanket ❤️
I hug a rescue pet every day!! My Trixie girl & parrot are both rescues. They rescued me more than I did them.
Our rescued “foster fail” (meaning I foster lots of high needs dogs, but we fell in love with her entirely specific quirkiness and wound up keeping her) Midge has a wealth of blankets that I crocheted for her too! If I lived nearby, I’dask your pal Ross if Midge and Audrey would like to meet up: both Chi’s, and both named after beautiful fashion mavens!
Omagosh!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fun last night at Dr. Lori’s Antiques Appraisal Comedy Show. Thanks to those who attended and for being good sports, and Bedford County Chamber of Commerce and Omni Bedford Springs Resort & Spa for hosting.
Want me to visit your town with the tour?
Any chance you can come over to my apartment this fall!
Is Indiana, Pa on your schedule anytime? I would love to see one of your shows. My daughter was at your show last night in Bedford, Pa. She enjoyed it very much.
Bedford Springs is my Happy Place! I wish we would have been there at the same time as you!!
I would love it if you came to Florida. I have a few things that came from Martha's Vinyard long ago.
Any chance North Florida is on your agenda in 2027 ?? ❤️
Your shows are great! Cant wait til you come back to Pittsburgh!
So wish I could have gone. Come back this way again please
How did I miss this? Love Bedford Springs and Dr Lori!!
Pittsburgh, Pa is my hometown---GMAN---surely will see you on PTL
I’ll fight this myth and die on this hill always. Forever! Those who disagree with me, really don’t know what’s up!
Mine don't!!!
❤️🙌👏amazing. So happy
You are lucky. Most don’t want it. We have a large annual rummage sale and good china is always donated. It doesn’t sell. 😢
Awesome!!! My daughter is now obsessed with you alongside me, well it’s been years but yeah!!
I have been seeing that as well. Getting up in age(76) my sons are pointing out what they would like. 😅
My kids have already told me which things they want!
I have Lenox Temple Blossom dishes and Waterford Tramore glassware and nobody in the family wants any of it!
So loved & treasured. 🤍🩶🩵
We kid my daughter that she has a grandma house! She goes thrifting and estate sales....her house is filled with furniture, quilts, doilies, dishes and old cookbooks!!
I always did! I still love vintage stuff, and appreciate the quality and skilled craftsmanship of things made back in those days. Thanks for sharing all your expertise with us🥰
I have my Mom s China. She actually hand painted it when she was 7 yrs old.
I have my grandmother's set just like that. I used for a mother and daughter picnic we had a great time
So true. It's beautiful.
No one wanted my mother's 12 piece set....so its mine. I know awhile ago you found the gravy boat at a thrift store and valued it at $25.00. I have the coffee set, soup tureens, various servings bowls etc. Its pristene. I use it during holidays..... I am now glad I kept it.
My kids do! They have already told me what they want…even one of my grandsons wants a set of ironstone. Their names are in my dish inventory! (I am one of those crazy dish ladies from Beautiful Table Settings!)
Millenials dont want their grandparents stuff. Gen Z is fighting over it.
All of my Grammas china burnt in the Oregon fire in 2020😥however my friends friends-- gave me a set of Wedgewood Columbia - service for 12!!! Plus another beautiful set of Haviland service for 14!!! Blessed
My daughter doesn’t want anything to do with this, but my granddaughter does! You’re right as usual Dr Lori
Yeah the hutch looks nice now...wait until your niece gets addicted to fenton glass 😆
My kids have things they like and I look for it in thrift stores and estate sales. But the stuff I like they don’t really, so will likely sell over next 10 years. Hall Autumn Leaf dishware, vintage toys, etc..
I gave my stepdaughter my husband's grandmother's china and told her, please don't do like me and leave it in the China cabinet for decades.........USED IT! Happy to report, we eat off of it during Thanksgiving and Christmas. ❤️
It’s a beautiful china set; a privilege to have such items. I wish many would also appreciate. Unfortunately, we were only allowed to bring a set number of articles of clothing, when we left our country. We have practically nothing to inherit nor pass down. Probably why I enjoy seeing vintage/antique items given a new life. What an honor!
Yes they do. Grannycore is in. The 80's warm woods and plants is back.
I have a 14 year old patient. I was talking with her mother about the family china and do younger generations want it. The 14 year old says quite emphatically “i want it”. It gave me hope for a return to appreciating quality and craftsmanship
I always thought that food tasted better on good china.
Free appraisals with admission in Bedford, PA. Can’t wait to see you! #vintage #art #womensconference
Oh what a night! So fun.
Wish I had the time to go
That place is steeped in history 🫶
👍👍☺️🇺🇸🌎
One Day!
