    That's what napkin rings were originally for, each person had a special one just for them.

    I got a necklace like the blue an red style in east Germany before the wall came down. It was fun shopping there because things were cheap but also sad cause tourists were followed everywhere. Supposedly for our protection... We gave the bathroom attendant about a 5 dollar tip from the 5 of us an she cried cause she could buy things for her son an husband. We were digging for more money for her but Major Greishabor corraled us out saying we would offend her if we gave her more. Lovely trip.

    I don't know if binge watching ALL of your videos over the last couple of weeks has been the healthiest choice I've made recently, ( I should probably mention that the binge watching is usually accompanied by a bag of chips and some dip....) but oh my goodness, you really are just the bees knees 🐝 Thanks for the thrifting inspirations and the lovely lovely travel vlogs!!

    You were standing on top of a levee when you were trying to see the Mississippi River. What you were looking at is called a slough caused by back water from the Mississippi.

    Hi Laura, I am 74 years old and my grandmother had the exact same carved eagle coffee table when I was a very little girl. The glass didn't just cover the eagle, it covered the entire table. I think it had about a 2 inch wood border that framed the glass.

      I have one like it but it's not an eagle it's a lady sitting on a rock in the water. When I bought it I was told it was a mermaid but it was not but I love it.

    Oh Laura, to be young again! You are so active , you tire me out just watching your videos! But I really do enjoy them because I feel like I am there with you! You have found what gives you joy! My good friend has gotten me interested in thrifting just these past 6 months. We go to the same 3 local stores, the thrift, Salvation Army, and St Vincent De Paul’s. After following you, I am ready to explore more areas of our small Eastern State! Thank you for your inspirational videos!

    Laura, I JUST discovered you 3 days ago and I have been watching your channel 3 to 5 hours a day ever since! I love the content but I must say the best part about it is YOU! Your spirit is just full of joy and light. You are magical! HGTV should pick your show up for sure. I am obsessed. I've heard you reference a former UA-cam channel you did with a partner? I can't find it and would love to experience the trajectory of your business. Is it still available on UA-cam?

    As a native of New Orleans (sadly I don’t live there now), this brought back memories. I first started thrifting at a place on Jefferson Hwy. and never stopped. I used to get pieces of Depression glass for a quarter. The river was beyond the trees you were looking at from the levee but you probably would’ve needed rubber boots to get close. The bridge is the Huey P. Long, very scary because the lanes are so narrow you can get your side view mirrors knocked off if you aren’t careful. My Driver’s Ed teacher made me drive over it. Took me an hour to stop shaking! My 3rd great grandparents are in a tomb in Lafayette Cemetery. Immigrants from Germany in the 1830s which you’ll find a lot of in that cemetery. Thanks for the walk down memory lane❤

    Laura, as an Israeli I've discovered Avraham Gofer's work only just recently.. and actually the minute you picked it up I was thinking "this looks like our style:)" Gofer's works are STUNNING! very similar in style to the Bitossi design, but in my opinion maybe even more beutiful.. he also has a series of creatures in blue and green colors.. just beautiful! his work is very popular here among collectors and resellers, whereas of Bitossi it seems not a lot of people have heard.

    If you find yourselves in NOLA, again, ( not during Mardi Gras, check out the classics restaurants- Mothers for lunch ( a small cafe ) amazing Poboys and anything you want! Upscale restaurant- would be Mr. B’s ( on Magazine in the quarter) amazing Louisiana BBQ shrimp - not with a tomato BBQ- hard to describe- heads on shrimps adds so much flavor with spices( not too hot) lemon, and lots of butter. Another upscale - Commanders Palace during the week for Lunch ( lunch is most affordable -similar menus to dinner just slightly smaller) Two Sisters- has the best Oysters Rockefeller, and you must go to Cafe’ Du mode’ for There classic powdered sugar experience! NOLA has the best food in the USA, but during Mardi Gras, the crowds just don’t make eating in the classic restaurants feasible.
