You asked for a closer look at my vintage #purses for Spring. Got a favorite? #shopping ... See MoreSee Less
Those are wonderful... Nice colors and material 👌
The first one. Philippines. Have a complete casserole holder set designed exactly the same. Crunchy.
I have the black n tan too! Great minds think alike.
My sister gave me a coin purse like your big one with the little people all over it. She got it in Costa Rica.
oomg! They're all soooo pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Omg, 🩷💚💛🩵💜❤️🩷💙
I had the worry dolls!
Love 💕
I think you might have a lot of purses....My friend's response to the purse museum in Amsterdam - "I have more purses in my closet!"
Is it a favorite because of what it is or because of who gave it to you?
I love the flowers. I think I remember my mom owning something simular.
My passion is purses. They keep multiplying
Nice! I found Kelly some vera Bradley purses at Goodwill and the thrift shop in perfect condition, she likes them a lot.
Too cute. I have a ring I found but not sure what it would be worth. T1867 & 750 stamp but it’s white gold which is weird. Any help would be appreciated from any of you knowledgeable folks.
Dr. Lori the black check one that's very me black and white, but im learning to wear more color. Then the flower one without the wooden handle. Then with the handle one , and then the dolls. I am not big on dolls. To many Chuckie type movies. How about your choice?

Dr. Lori I was wondering about the price stickers being on the paintings front instead of the back. You always say the stickers/tape on porcelain take of gold etc. Wouldn't they also damage the painting?
I collect the amethyst... 💜💜
I saw a pristine no scratches set of three Pyrex blue bowls that I bought from the thrift store that I would be interested in selling. I have to find out how much they are worth
While stuck in Seattle next time visit the antique mall called Lander Street Vintage. It used to be called Pacific Galleries and it was one of the best antique shopping in Seattle. Have you ever been to Snohomish Wa? Back in the hay day it was called the Antique Capitol of the PNW.
I have an 8x8 blue Pyrex one that I use all the time!
Nice color.
Dr. Lori, I’m hearing that Goodwill, Salvation Army are now picking the good stuff and selling online. Have you been noticing their inventories haven’t been as good as they used to be?

Curious about the #NFL Draft and how #pittsburgh is doing. Lmk #sports ... See MoreSee Less
My son was there. Had a great time. Lots to do .
I'm happy it worked out. The planning and logistics were great otherwise it could have been a nightmare. They had record crowd - 805,000! 😮, and Damar Hamlin and Chasing M's Foundation set a CPR Training 1,200 people Guiness World record 👏 The city shined ⭐️🌟💫
It is so exciting. Our city looks beautiful. My daughter  and I took a picture with Jerome, Bettis and Daisy Jade at the strip district. Much fun. He went to Mount Washington and walked all around. It was a little gloomy today, not as sunny as the previous days, but it was beautiful 
Being from Pittsburgh, it has been very exciting. As a firefighter in Green Tree we have been fortunate to not been very busy! Thankful!
Not really a football fan, however Supercross is in Philadelphia today and watching them race their dirt bikes in the rain what a mess but so fun. My son used to do that 😀😃
The draft was awesome! Pittsburgh did an outstanding job! We broke the attendance record!
Doing great!! I've noticed a lot of local businesses complaining that they haven't gotten nearly the business they were told to expect 😲 They are a little disheartened. I saw a post earlier from Roger Goodell saying if 160K people attended today, that it would be the highest attended NFL Draft ever!!
I think it was a great success! And in the first night, they broke the record for the largest crowd ever for the first night of the draft. 320,000 people!
Pittsburghers have showed up and showed out! It has been fun to watch, fun to see Michael Keaton, lots of great shots of the city, really exciting!
Pittsburgh has done itself proud! The weather even cooperated! No drama from the fans...everyone seemed to be cordial to their rivals! Great to see all the Steelers of the past and exciting to see the hopeful picks! Michael Keaton even announced a pick and wished it was him! Attendance records were broken and Pittsburgh set the bar high for sure! Pittsburgh's last pick was there. from Navy Eli Heidenreich set the crowd on fire. He actually was called to announcers table which was probably his first interview as a Steeler! Did you know the idea of a Draft originated in Pittsburgh in 1935! It FINALLY came home!
Former Pittsburgers now living in Myrtle Beach, my husband has watched it off and on,he is enjoying it. I like seeing the city shine
It would be better if you were one of the celebrities here, gor sure🖤💛
They did well
Attendance record broken for the 3 days....804,000 fans.
Best moment was when Steelers drafted a Navy player!
It was great for the city! I watched from home! My grandson went on Friday and was so thrilled to be there! Nice of you to mention Heather and David! Love watching all of you!
The most exciting and kind of funny moment was when Makai Lemon was on the phone with Pittsburg. Makai's family was celebrating that he was picked by the Steelers. Then his agent gave him another phone with a rep from Philadelphia on the other end. Everyone was confused. Apparently the Steelers called b4 the pick was in. The EAGLES were able to grab Lemon by trading up to the 20th spot because Dallas agreed to trade spots with them. Dallas got two 4th round picks from Philly in the trade. So Makai Lemon is a Philadelphia EAGLE! Sorry, not sorry Pittsburg. 😁 GO BIRDS! 💚🏈
Our city shined and a lot people went away with a different perspective of the city. I think everyone had a great time and I'm just glad the weather held out for the majority of the draft.
What an honor for so many people, not just typical celebrities (although it was great to see them too) to get to announce a pick. TOO BAD the ABC-NFLannouncers sitting at their table talked over most of the third day picks so those folk never got to be on camera. Those announcers were very irritating! All we needed was the stage and the graphics, save $$ next time and skip the verbose dudes at the table.
I like you also am just watching from my liv rm. Don't care for crowds and this way I get ta enjoy the beauty of the city especially the night views. Take care.
I wasn't sticking around for the choas. Headed to NC till Sunday.
Sorry, i dont get the draft thing but am glad so many had fun. I dont like that PTL has cut back your antique guessing game. There needs to be more time with you!
It is 10 miles away and I have zero desire to be a part of the madness. Just not for me. I am happy for those who are attending and I hope that the visitors are enjoying the City.
It was a great time for Pittsburgh.
Looked like it went very well! I watched on KDKA!

Are you struggling? Have you been through this type of stress? Pain? #keynote #pain ... See MoreSee Less
Thank you Dr. Lori. Its so difficult.
Will it be accessible for us to watch online? I’d live to hear what you have to say about it.
I am currently working on clearing out and organizing the garage which contains a multitude of my late husband’s tools, projects, and who knows what all! It is quite the task, but after four years, I am finally able to start….. It’s a work in progress. 
I bagged up Mark's clothes and it was so traumatic. Intellectually I knew that he isn't his clothes but part of me felt like I was throwing him away.
I've been holding on to my dad's paintings/pastels for 23 years, and his books.
My daughter actually said " get rid of your sh!t now because when you die I'm getting a dumpster". 😱💔
That’s an excellent topic Dr. Lori for this type of seminar
Red is your color, Dr Lori 🙂
Even though you're talking about pain and sadness, you are looking fabulous 👌. Keep doing what your doing.
You look Absolutely lovely today Dr. Lori. Thank you for your many words of knowledge and help.
Oh yes I need to hear what you say!
You look great in Red!!!
Just lost my mom recently. She had collections of collections.. No clue what to do with all of it! I'd need a house call❣️
Yes, we lost 6 family members in 9 months recently.
My daughter died in 1997... she was born in 1987 10 yrs old...every thing in her room was packed up in storage containers...I still can't go through it...29 yrs ago still very painful 💔
Absolutely

Bought these Stewart Weitzman shoes (penny loafers are my favorite) on sale and they needed to be stretched, a little too tight. I stretched them for 2 months. Put them on today to test them out for an outfit I’m wearing for a speaking engagement tomorrow. They fit great now! #shoes #accessories #fashion ... See MoreSee Less
Put alcohol in the shoes and then your feet. That will make the shoes comfortable.
Nice shoes....where's the penny????
You have lost weight too. Pretty.
Look great
The beauty of real leather.
Love those. Ok. The way I was told to stretch my leather shoes was to pour water inside them, empty the water out and wear till they dried. They molded to the shape of my foot and always comfortable!!! (This is info from an 80 year old, me. hahahaha!!)
Love them! Classic!
Just a tip from personal experience… on sale , isn’t always worth it.
Not harry feet, just a pain feet and hair
Feet, 😩 ugh. Feet and hair!
You lost weight
They are gorgeous!! 😲
I really like those!
Oh I found Gucci loafers at an estate sale a couple days ago. In the box and everything for less than $70! They are mens but still very nice.
They look great, very nice!
They look great
I will be sure to check them out 😀
Very cute!
Love the Shoes Dr Lori ❤️❤️
Still look too tight and uncomfortable.
Oh I love penny loafers. I have 2 pennies for ya! ☺️
I’m weird, I put old wheat pennies in my penny loafers. I love the crocodile leather and the color.
nice! i have to wear Birkenstock shoes and their birki professional clogs to work in( dog groomer here) my feet are better with more room that the birkenstocks provide too!
Hey, hey, hey … where are the pennies??? You HAVE to put pennies in them 😁
As you lose weight it affects your feet too! 🙂
