This haul blew my mind! I had so much fun exploring this beautiful home. Thanks so much to my sister-in-law Katey for connecting me with Karen the kind homeowner who opened up her house to us! I hope you enjoy it! The haul starts around the 15 minute mark. Be sure to subscribe to see more!! xo Lori

Actually, that’s the first thing I thought when she said the Salvation Army etc On the other hand, though, she’s just a delight for woman, so lovely, and at the end, she said she’d love to meant to anybody I think she’s just a very unique person, but really charming and so very generous by the looks of things so I’m okay with it

This was utterly amazing and sad at the same time. Looks like about 40+ years worth of shopping. I can’t even fathom shopping to this extent. Looks like outside of work, this is what they did for fun. And the bigger the house, the more you can buy to fill it up. Lovely lady and so sad after years of collecting stuff, in the end it just becomes a pile of stuff and you can’t take it with you. I’ve learned that lesson as well. I hope she finds happiness again in her new home and life.

And I noted, no mention of children either. I appreciate that not all couples want or have the ability to have children, so I'm not passing judgment as a couple of my siblings are D.I.N.K.s (Double Income No Kids). It seemed like they were spending to compensate for *fill in the blank*. I think of how many families, working homeless, and homeless could have benefited from the funds this couple spent on accumulating stuff, piles and piles of stuff. One could make the argument that this lifestyle is no different than hoarders who compulsively shop. The only difference is that this couple had staff to bag and x catalog these items and the space to store things. An unhealthy emotional attachment to **things** and a refusal to part with these things whilst continuing to unnecessarily shop. It sounds eerily familiar.

A VERY interesting story! What woman doesn’t identify with this beautiful lady, and her accumulation of beautiful things?!Im 81, and I have always appreciated beautiful things…..Missoni, Park Avenue evening gowns, part of my career was invested in wearing divine bespoke dresses ( I was an opera singer/concert artist). At one stage in my life, I had dressmakers who made beautiful outfits for me. and I had the joy of accessorising them….even now, my collection of Pashminas, hair ornaments by Paris Mode, jewellery, I still love wearing. Living in Europe in the 70’s, was an inspirational time….the coats, raincoats,( London) the most beautiful underwear, from Galleries Lafayette….Vivian Westwood was changing the zeitgeist, the memories of this or that outfit, never leave you! Thank you for sharing this great story!

What a great experience and I love the respect you showed to her. I lost my husband a year and a half ago and when I was downsizing, I had to keep reminding myself that things I was selling were just material items, the memories are what's priceless. Have a blessed evening

I have so much stuff I’m starting to feel overwhelmed by it. This is a good lesson that no matter how many beautiful things we have, you can only enjoy so much of it. At the end, it’s just stuff except for the few things memories are truly made of

The fur item your sister-in-law had her hands is is called a muff. I had one as a child. It keeps your hands warm in the winter so you don’t have to wear gloves. I was born in 1952.

In no way do I intend to come off as rude but I had no idea CEO's of "non profits" made enough money to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars into ONE bag brand. Am I the only one who finds it weird? She seems like a super lovely lady though.

Being that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE vintage clothes and style, one thing that I like most is seeing older women's past wardrobe of this magnitude and she isn't a celebrity. It just exudes a woman who has confidently lived and enjoyed her fashionably stylish life and did not concern herself with what people had to say about it good or bad.

I totally lived through the Peter Max era. He was very famous. Every item from that estate sale was beyond fantastic. Wow, Wow, Wow!!!

I was starting down this road in my early twenties with buying to make myself feel better. Thankfully I recognized what I was doing and stopped.

Please no offense, but I loved the fact that she asked the lady permission to touch her bags. As someone who works in antiquities, one must always ask permission and also gloves are a must… especially when working with older pieces and hides. Oil and bacteria from hands can be a huge problem. Lovely lady and nice haul, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment!!

The peacock feather Whiting & Davis bag is STUNNING!

🎉 That’s a smart move! More friends on board means more fun and extra bonuses to go around. Let’s spread the word

This woman is my kind of woman.... My mother and aunt had a very large wardrobe. They worked in offices and I tell you, my mother also wasn't one to run from color and patterns and watching her get dressed daily for her job influenced my style for the office today as well.

OMG THAT MUFF AND HAT!!! Not only would this woman be a great mentor, but I would love to see her collection:) I'm drooling and this would have been my dream to have this opportunity!

lori most collector plates are NOT worth reselling unfortunately The only exception I found was the Villeroy and boch russian fairytale plates and even those maybe 50 dollars at the most so you would not want to spend more then a couple of dollar. I have a few collector plates because I loved the image but I will never reccop what i paid for them after fees and packing supplies so afte I am gone they will probably end up at athrift and then a landfil

Holy cow Lori! That was overwhelming, lol But I totally get how you had to pick and choose what you were excited about. Thanks for sharing! ❤
