Dumpster & Thrifting Finds | Glass, Jewelry, Ceramics, Lamps, Beanie Babies | Ask Dr. Lori 

Anyone else here binge-watching classic DR Lori episodes?

My bf and I have had some luck with dumpster diving. The S. A. store near where I lived would toss TONS of donations when they had "too much" of certain items so sometimes we would recover vintage lamps, brick a brac, etc. He once found $2000 cash in an old dishwasher! His great vintage find I am saving for when I can get on Dr. Lori's live Y.T. show, it was unbelievable to me.

Hi Dr. Lori just for a good laugh thought I'd tell you that I have my entire family watching you. You're on 3 TVs in my house at this very moment 😆. During the pandemic to help my family stay focused on something positive I just leave your channel playing sometimes all day. So sorry if I don't like every video. I am always focused on working. My young adult children are learning a lot from you and we want to thank you. They are starting to understand history and what some of the weird things their elders will be passing down to them 😆💞

Your videos are not only useful and informative but also, you make us smile.

Thank-you . It's like going to class. The more I watch you the more I learn.

Oh wow...I just clicked on to watch a few minutes while I finished my Sunday morning coffee and here I am an hour later and a half cup of cold coffee sits on the end table. Lol! So interesting to see how people are not only collecting items but in fact wanting to preserve the history. This is a valuable service you are providing to the world, Dr. Lori 🥰

God bless you Dr. Lori. You go ahead and say, "this particular" all you want, lol. Cause I know if you don't someone will assume that ALL pots, dishes etc. are worth the same as that particular piece. I love getting all the extra info you include with your appraisals of each item. I'm sure all of us who love to learn feel the same way. 🙃

Blessings to everyone that takes the time to donate or set up a garage sale instead of just tossing it in a dumpster. It’s remarkable and always surprising what comes through thrift stores without damage to the items!

I live alone . No I'm not lonesome. Anyways I find myself. Smiling so much when watching DR. LORI'S videos. She's funny and so so brilliant. I never liked history until I heard her. Now anytime I'm out I actually want too know everything about so many things

Such a a Broad range of knowledge And a Personality too !! You are a Rarity in your field ! Love it !!❤

Hello, I watched your show about jewelry earlier today. Honestly I've never know about you until today, and I'm so glad I took the time to watch. I subscribed and hit the bell so was able to watch you just now after waking up in the middle of the night. (sure beat channel surfing on cable,plus I learned so much from both videos of yours I have watched so far and will be sharing you on face book ect... ) I make gemstone jewelry and started tearing apart old jewelry when I started making jewelry, I won't be doing that anymore thanks to you. I had no idea old costume jewelry was worth so much but I learned what to look for so thank you so much for the knowledge I gained today. Jolene

I am particularly fond of the word "particular"!

I just discovered you and enjoying it so much. I grew up junking and I could kick myself for all the goodies I have gotten rid of over the years. 😀

My hobby has always been plants. Living in CT with a short growing season. I started picking up pottery. Have many pieces and gave many away as gifts. Little did i know years later I'm seeing these items for sale going for high prices. My garden in now Florida is filled with my pottery collection .

Such an interesting collection of items AND people collecting them!

I have that same koi bowl!

Great video @Dr. Lori 😊

Hey, I know this is a strange request maybe. My wife and I were watching one of your videos and you had to put this self-proclaimed expert of pottery in her place. It was awesome! My wife and I were laughing so hard watching you confront that lady. We loved it. Have you ever thought about putting a video out of all of your confrontations at live events. I guess I’m kind of warped but I love seeing people that are being jerks get put in their place. Love your channel.😄👍🏻😄😄😄

Excellent channel❣️

Wow that fish bowl

Oh if I was rich I would have that Owl lol

Very interesting info on a wide variety of items. Thank you Dr. Lori. I am curious about the beanie baby that was worth a thousand dollars. Can you elaborate a bit on which one and why it's worth that much? Pretty please with a 🍒 on top. 😊💜💛💙💚

I recently found a 14 karat gold pendant 4 g for four bucks using my loup!!!

I was hoping to get in the live tonight. I waited all hour. Maybe next week. I’m hoping to ask you about the Marc Chagall pieces you commented about a few weeks ago. I’ll keep trying. Thanks for teaching us.

omg a jackson Pollock thank you for sharing your knowledge

I found a gold coin in the dumpster

Hello Doctor Lori your the best ! Love from Maine!!!

I think the 2 birds were are pretty and unusual

Just discovered your podcast and love it! What’s the best way to find a buyer for icees you want to sell? Thx

I use my Loupe looking at images on the internet all the time...

Hi Dr Lori, just catching your show for the first time! Excellent! I'm interested in the spelling of Linda Moyoki (*sp) who created the ceramics featured by Don from Michigan. I wasn't able to find anything so must be guessing wrong on the spelling.

Reverberation!

Tyou

Well I live in Louisiana so I can't go wherever I think that picture of the lace and the pink backing I have other pictures and I could group them all together I'd love to decorate so so I could put all three together and make it look really good I'd love to decorate I love your show I just found it today it's so great love it love it 6:44 6:44

Wow. I would love to attend one of your seminars. Do you ever see yourself in far Northern California, (Redding, CA).

Hello Dr. Lori 😊 I'm new to thrifting for resellable items. Recently found an alexandrite vase. But it has a small chip. How does that affect the value?

Dr Lori, I went on your website and I wasn’t able to find your lupa 🔍 I would like to know which one to buy! Thank you!

Hi Dr. Lori, I just started, watching you and I've got to say I love you! I found 2 oil on canvas landscape painting's in the dumpster. One isn't signed, but one is signed CAFIERI. Could they have any value and/or be authentic? 😂😂😂😂

Oh and I would enjoy knowing if people are getting what you appraised their pieces for, at retail, or at auction etc., don't know if that is possible.

Hi Dr Lori... What is the name of the artist of the three ceramic set that you appraised for (Don from Michigan) about 21 minutes into this video ?

Hello Dr. Lori! I have purchased a Bavarian (Vegetable) dish with a lid at Thrift store. Stamped J and C Bavaria. Also signed, M.W. Morris Dec. 1934. any idea on the value? Thank you, Lisa

Hi Dr. Lori , I have a White House cookbook from my Father

Hope this query is relevant. I purchased a set of framed Dreamstone landscapes (natural marble sliced and resembling a landscape) while in China near Foshan at supposedly an antique market in 2005. There is no glut of them on eBay or otherwise. Suggestions?

Dr. Lori! Hi! I love this chan. Sub’d. 👋

I got one of those fishbowl got for 20dollars with a stand

I have a large set of pink Fostoria left by my Grandma and would like to know more about it.

I have a smallish oil painting by Hugh Cabot. He gave it to me about 1965 or 66. About 14 x 16 or something like that. Wonder what it’s worth?

I went dumpster diving at a house where the owner died😭 they were cleaning house and I found a lot of vintage copper jewelry… is it worth keeping or should I toss it?

Love your channel Dr. Lori... How does one go about being a guest? My grandmother nic named Granny Good Witch left me a lamp when she passed 27 yrs ago. I would love to know more about it, I think its Art Deco not sure.

Dr.lori. beautiful name first. Do you know what a pearl is made of I don't. I am acquiring a pair soon by my sister..we both want to learn more about this string.

Got my Mom to thrift shop. She got an a Woman’s Home Companion cookbook.

I have a few pearl necklaces with the knots, they are sticky. What should I do

I have a lot of antiques and I get no info on them. How do I join you to show you a few things of mine? Please let me know, thank you.

Dr.Lori, Have you ever been to Middletown Ohio? If you ever do and need a place to stay instead of motels or hotels,you can come stay with my family and teach us on some of the things we've inherited from family,name it we have it

I would so love to have you come to my home to help me appraise and teach me where to sell much of my family collection. I'm the family historian and have ended up with generations of things that I love, but with my health issues and age I need to start thinking of what to do with all this stuff. I have no one to leave anything to. I am childless and have no close relations that would treasure any of my family treasures. I live in Nashville TN and just found you on RU-vid last night. I have been up two nights now binge watching your shows! I was an RN and destressed by junking in thrift stores. I have so much that I need to know if I can sell to help us maintain our home. I signed up for the newsletter and not sure if I could afford to have you appraise for me. But I sure do need help. Disabled and homebound/bed bound most of the time...so unable to attend any type of gathering. Thank you for all the information. Sure wish I had found you years ago when I was healthy and out there shopping!

Searching every where for links to your loop and gem and stone testers ?

Dr. Lori - I am watching this after-the-fact... Wondering re: Kelly's ceramic piece made by "Derr" - was that made by some average person in their home studio or pottery class? Because I see a lot of pieces that don't look to me like they're made by any "artist of note" at the thrift stores all the time, but I leave them there. Should I?
