That avocado colored thing is a cat caller. As soon as you turn it on the cat shows up in the kitchen.
Too funny. My friend used to do that to his cat with that exact can opener. Same color and everything. So funny for you to mention it since I was thinking about his can opener when she was showing it.
Sooo true. Lol
Haha
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
My Grandfather sewed metal screening on the fan so we wouldn’t stick our fingers in the blades while we spent hours singing in the fan.
Haha I used to do that tooo. Our own vibrato effect hahaha
I was a teenager in the 70's and did my entire room in avocado green! Radio was that color too!
I love Thrift Stores. Thank You!!!
I love decorating my kitchen with vintage appliances, I even still use some of them
Love That white top you have on. Looking good!
You look.good in white. Especially with the color of lipstick your wearing.
Love cheese, chocolate, bread and wine...we must be long-lost sisters
I love cheese, chocolate, bread, and weed... wee must be long lost step-sisters. 😂
you look fantastic in white !
Unfortunately 90% of the thrift stores around here hire folks to rummage through the donations for anything of value to sell on line for the company. They never make it to the floor ! Goodwill is one of these.
That has been happening for years and they still miss a lot of stuff. Have you seen my Real Bargains videos of recent finds at thrift stores including Goodwill? The miss stuff too on their website.
I know most get volunteers to look through stuff too. If you find one which does not, enjoy it while it lasts and the pricea go up
@@fabulouslifeinchrist1349 Again, have you watched my Real Bargains videos? It's nice that the thrift shops have volunteers and the non-profit ones are working for a good cause, but these people are not experts. I can say that since I see all the stuff they are missing. I show you just a small amount of missed pieces in the Real Bargains videos. It's out there folks for you to find.
Our kitchen was harvest gold !
So was ours growing up. I also still have " the families" avacodo green can opener. Friends have twice purchased new can openers for me, but this one still works & power through all cans! The newer ones are crap.
I GAVE one of those black fans to a neighbor because I didn't like it. It was in working order. He was ecstatic.
My grandma made herself one of those “jewel” purses and carried it for years, it came in a kit with instructions and the jewels were glued on a printed picture on the purse one at a time. I wish I had that purse, I thought it was lovely because I still like shiny things. Thank you so much Dr. Lori from bringing back that wonderful memory of my beloved Mamaw, we were very close when I was growing up, she lived on the same block as me, I was blessed to have her around and I loved to spend the night with her on weekends.
Thanks for sharing. Always nice to hear grandma stories :)
We had that can opener in Harvest Gold, which is that golden color you described. Our whole kitchen was that color!
Merry Merry Merry Merry Christmas! I hope you get everything you ever wanted and have the best holiday in the world. You deserve nothing less!
Thank you! You too!
I have a wonderful steel fan that probably came out of a government office from the '30s. I found it on the street, and it worked immediately when I plugged it in. It's also like standing in front of an airplane propeller when it's on. I love it! My partner rewired it for me when a capacitor blew out, and it's so solid and built much better than anything made now.
I'm with you, Dr.Lori. Growing up in the 70s we had an electric can opener (goldenrod) on our kitchen countertop...Formica, of course.
My mother had a can opener like that one. Hers was Harvest Gold. That was the main color in her kitchen. ..stove and refrigerator too!
Thanks Dr. Lori..your the best!
That golden color was called “Harvest Gold” and it was the color of Mom’s refrigerator.
Dr. Lori, happy holidays. Thank you for your videos and keep them coming please.
And once again, there's the "Bank give away" porcelain dinner set. That's the one I chose. I loved the button picture, especially since there were three pair of Lucite earrings on it. Most likely, they were "pinch" earrings and the crafter just pried the backs off. Vintage crafts are useful once again! Thanks, Dr. Lori!
So excited for the video!
Thanks you so much for helping me learn about antiques.
Ahhh avocado - love those shades I had a turquoise bathroom suite in situ when I moved into my house in the 1980s with inset handles to help you get out of the bath In my 20s I couldn’t wait to get rid of the ‘old person’s bath’ Now in my mid 60s and due to change my bathroom yet again, the inset handles have appeal !!
My mother always said "Don't get old"
@@DrLoriV The new year is a great opportunity to throw out family phrases that could limit us. I had to throw out my mom's, "you have to give everyone the benefit of the doubt" that she repeated thousands of times in her 84 years. It put her and me in danger a few times.😱
Dont deprive the world of your fabulous presence because of a few grey hairs. We love you too much!💖💜💖
Thank you so much, Dr. Lori 🙏🏻
Another great video, Dr. Lori. I picked the jewelry this time. The decanter was pretty cool. Love the new background look. Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎄
I just bought a cheese dish just like that one in orange. I was shocked when I saw yours! Blessings! Jo
I love your videos! Thank you for making them. I wish I had a college professor like you, I might have just majored in art history
Thanks for watching!
Bravo! Encore! Love it .
We love watching you! Merry Christmas to you and your amazing team of people. I'm using your binge link and am learning so much!!!! God bless you.🙏☃️🎄🤗
Happy holidays! Isn't the Binge link great so you don't miss a new video?
Formica! Yes it was formica! Thanks
Thank you for sharing all your info with us.bi love the challenge of finding a treasure
Thanks for watching! Don't forget to share the links/info to videos
Thanks for the information you provide! It's a great help to know upfront what to look out for. I've always loved vintage items and antiques for some reason. It seems so ironic that most products made in decades/centuries past were so much better crafted with higher quality materials and workmanship, when there was less technology and precision machinery, yet today we have those tools and can even send people into outer space, yet you can't buy a toaster that will last more than a year before breaking!!! 🤔
Yes, my countertop was formica and it has lasted 50 years!
Great info Dr. Lori. So funny you mentiond the decanter, I literally bought one from Goodwill right before seeing this video lol. Your info has changed the way I see things when thrifting...and its only been a week since finding out about your channel. You're a treasure! 💎😊

I've never seen one before. I didn't know what it was, but picked between that and the cheese server for most valuable.
Dr. Lori I love you so much
Looking forward to it!
Right !!!! Not much longer 👍💯
The trifari gold tone one was missing one pearl but can be replaced
I learn something new every time. Thanks for the video Dr. Lori.
Glad it was helpful!
Love how you gave color examples from the 1970's for what to look out for. Unlike us gen x group, not everyone grew up with these colors, so it's nice to see someone share this info. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! That was my editors idea to include those "swatches".
@@DrLoriV I work with content in my job too, so I totally get how those details make a difference. Kudos to your editors!
Hi Dr Lori love watching you

Thank you! You too!
Hope you have a great holiday Dr.Lori.
Loved the video as always. I just made some of those framed jewelry art pieces, its relaxing and fun at the same time.
Thank you! You too!
Thanks and have a very Merry Christmas ☃️
Same to you!

Great information on the costume jewelry, I have so much, I’m going to check it out. Thanks Dr Lori.
You are so welcome!
As always....amazing. Hope you have a merry Christmas Lori ❄⛄
Happy holidays!
As a wee little tot, i remember sitting in the gas line with mom.
Thanks so much for these mini courses. Perfect for a squirrel mind like mine.

Great video as usual! Loved the info on costume jewelry. Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!
Happy holidays!
Love me some you Lori, God bless you and your family with peace and love in abundance
I remember the colors being called avocado, harvest gold and copper tone( I think). The Sears appliances anyway.
Hello from KY ❤️ love you and your channel.wishing you good health and happiness 💞,thank you for all you do to help us idiots 😀
Smart people watch my videos!
I never knew that they made cheese servers. I always learn something new from you! Thank you Dr. Lori 😊
Me as well, Lori the bestest and most adorable teacher
I painted my kitchen green 10 yrs ago or so. It’s more like a very light green/celery green. I thought I would never do any shade of green after the 70s and 80s. My friend called to ask why did I do that!! (He heard about it but didn’t see it yet). We always joked around about Harvest Gold, Avocado Green, and the Brady Bunch kitchen. If you lived it, you can spot the exact colors a mile away.
Still watching your video and just learned about the cheese server. Love learning from you.
@@raewhisner2383 Happy to hear it! Don't forget to share the love/videos :)
I didn't know what it was. I thought maybe it was a butter dish.
Wow that cheese sever is Beautiful ❤️
I am a new subscriber, your knowledge and information is so valuable, wow! Thank you!

Oh NO! Almost missed you again! So good to see you again! I’ve been so busy I’ve gotten behind on your shows and have missed you so much!
Need to get one of those loops!
I have my dads old coffee percolator that he gave me that he had tucked away in his storage closet and it still works perfectly and coffee smells so good when it perks! He had it I bet for 50 years and not a dent on it. Oh I see Kermit is peeking from in the back there - ha ha.
Hope I haven’t missed your story about Kermit .
Wow- he gave me an old fan very similar as well and it works great- mines black.
Merry Christmas Dr. Lori - hope to be getting with you after the holidays. 🎄 wishing you the very best with family and friends.
Happy Holidays Trish!
Well done once again! Liked and shared.
Sharing supports new videos! Thanks
Merry Christmas!
Happy holidays!
I know you love to wear red but you look amazing in white too 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Amazing video as always! Loved the video thank you for all the tips it was great having you live! And Carl showed up 😀 happy Holidays
Happy Holidays to you too Lori :) Stay well!
Dr. Lori 🎉👍✌️
Dr. Lori, I know you say that over cleaning is an issue and a little dirty is ok, but, that can opener should be cleaned!
Wished I knew more about buttons. My mother saved buttons for years gong way back and a lot are still in the little packs or on pieces of cardboard.
Great advice thank you
You are so welcome!
Another great video! Merry Christmas and please stay healthy! Buona Natale!
Merry Xmas!
Merry Christmas Dollie!
Happy holidays!
Don’t forget the neon green!
the thrift store/op-shop down the road from me gets a jeweller in to price their donations, also if they recognise anything as 'collectable' they will look it up on line and price items in accordance. Books, ceramics, clothing with high end labels... etc etc
A lot of stuff is still missed. Have you watched my Real Bargains videos featuring actual stories where people found stuff that was overlooked and missed?
@@DrLoriV that's the stuff I bank on
Waiting in gas lines & avocado green ~ how I remember it well. My Mom had an entire kitchen in avocado green; stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, an ice crusher, can opener & yes, the formica.
Of course it all had to match!
@@DrLoriV But what a wonderful childhood! I wish I could go back...
@@sandracasey3486 Yes and take our experience with us :)
I think I have those dishes !
I have a smaller solid steel fan. I know Antique. Om
Our family had the same electric can opener (my folks may still have and use it?). I was a "wee tot" at the time as well! I can't believe it is worth $40.
Ours was harvest gold.
Merry Christmas to you and yours from Canada
Happy holidays!
Thank you
You're welcome!
I haven’t been here for awhile and I’ve missed seeing and hearing you Dr Lori you’re awesome ! Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄⛄️🎅🏻

Cool :)
You look beautiful in white ✌️
In those days cheeses were kept at room temperature
Today most people store it in the fridge which is unfortunate because we dont get the full flavour
I have a jewelry box like the the one with the swan on the top but mine is clear. I bought it at an antique shop probably 15 years or so ago. Can't remember what I paid . Probably between 2.00 - 5.00.
'70a colors were avocado green, harvest gold, and burnt orange. Copper tone was more from the '60s. We had it on our cook top and wall oven in a house built in 1963. Interesting that she says muted colors reflect a recession. We must be in the worst one yet based on the non-colors we see everywhere now. All grey, black, white and other dull muddy colors.
Coppertone was popular in the 1970s too. I report this information about design to help viewers understand and identify the trends and how colors reflect society. Current monochromatic colors are not muted colors. Thanks for watching.
@@DrLoriV Thank you. I didn't remember so much coppertone in the '70s as I did the other colors. Fun video. The colors today, to me, are drab and depressing. I'll be glad when that trend goes away.
Hi Dr Lori
I wanted to wish you & yours
A Merry Christmas 🎄 a blessed & Happy New Year too ❤️
Sincerely
Brenda
Happy holidays!
I have lots of valuable collectibles I’m trying to sell but some things are so buyer specific that it’s hard to find the right platform to sell at. Love ya Dr. Lori!!!
People use my online appraisal report to help them sell. The reports include a location where a similar piece sold. One follower used my report to help them sell a plate for over $1,000. They bought it at a yard sale for $1. I help a lot of resellers make money!
@@DrLoriV i’ve been wanting to become a member but funds have been a little tight just as it has been with everyone else I’m sure. It’s at the top of my to do list though because sometimes I have questions about things that I have found that have been really hard to research online myself and I don’t know how many times I’ve said to myself “Well Crud , i know Dr. Lori would know!” 😁 So for now I have just binge on a lot of your videos so I can learn as much as I can lol.
Actually that doesn’t sound too bad lol. A lot of the time I binge watch your videos while I am trying to organize my bulk jewelry or search through my coin rolls 😂
@@DrLoriV God bless you, Dr. Lori!
@@amandafry5935 Have you checked my Specials page?
Hi doc!
Your looking well love.
I was surprised on the ship in a bottle’s value 🌞
That pin was missing a pearl.
I saw that as well!
Until I get a loupe, I use the zoom feature on my iPhone camera.
Rats! I had a cheese server listed on ebay forever. It was pink, European, and very pretty. I didn't know to use the word "server" though. Had to put it on deep sale and I hope it went to a good home.
I moved to a rich area and thrift store prices are crazy high now.
Got to know what you are selling :) Keep watching my vids!
you mentioned a loop what is that not in description, ty
The thrift store I volunteer in sold a Trifari 3 pc. set loaded with rhinestones for $20. Sigh. Resellers keep us going, though, I have to say sometimes it hurts.
I help a lot of thrift stores too.

Hi Dr Lori, thanks again for a great video!
Curious if there is a market for just antique frames without artwork in theme?
Also, on a completely different note my hubby and I were curious how you feel about the show "American Pickers" and the type of value information they give? Would you find them to be giving accurate values?
Sounds like good questions to bring to my next Ask Dr. Lori LIVE video. I also have a few videos on frames :)
