You got that right! I am a lover of ballroom Fashion and Ballroom Culture, and Doris has presented garments that are so inspirational, and full of history. She teaches us things that we never know. And it’s topics that she speaks on that are very important to the younger audience of today. If you go into a target, you see such cheaply made clothes that will last you about three times through the washing machine. I love how she educates us on the importance of holding onto Culture that resides in these garments she shows us. It’s not just closing…. , it’s history And every piece of clothing can tell a story
1. Doris, you look fabulous. So thankful for your healing. You’ve been through so much over the past two years. 2. Loved this episode! I love almost all vintage jewelry, purses and accessories. I could watch for days!! Take care!
Excellent commentary: growing up in the 70's- in the small towns of Ohio- Bakelit was always somewhere to be found- and I still have the collection of nearly 100 pieces...somewhere in our horse barn..in curated paper bags.. !!!
Hi Doris, So Happy you're recovered ! You have many people who care about you.Thank You for your research on Bakelite. I have had an interest since I was a little girl. My mother had 5 sisters, they had some interesting Bakelite jewelry,loved raiding their jewelry boxes.My Grandfathers telephone was Bakelite, and I had a brown View Master in Bakelite ! Wish I still had all these items ! Take care, Cindy
Bakelite even had a song written about it! Fascinating old footage of the manufacturing process. Each of your videos are, themselves, treasures. I’m so happy to hear you’re fully recovered, Doris. God bless🌷
I love your videos very much becuase I love history, I love antiques, and I love to learn about something new. You and your videos are a fountain of knowledge ,and your passion is very evident, wonderful and inspiring to see and listen to. Also, you seem like a nice person who is inviting to the viewer. Bakelite is just captivating and I love the blast of colors and the shapes etc. I remember the film Agatha Christie's Evil Under the Sun which took place in the South of France in the 1930s. The women were wearing Bakelite jewelry and it was a feast for the eye of color. I think they really did a great job putting together the clothes and accessories of the 1930s.
I ADORE Bakelite & own several pieces, including a couple of WWII brooches (like the "V for Victory" one - only mine says "Mother"). I saw several pieces in your collection that I own & many that I wished I owned (the necklace with the pink elephants & cocktail glasses - SWOON!). Thank you so much for sharing it with us! I hope you will do more Bakelite videos.
I've always loved the whimsy of bakelite and keep an eye out for bargain pieces. My attic still has bakelite light switches, wish the rest in the house hadn't been modernized. Thanks for another brilliant show Doris and team 💜
Even The Dutchess of Windsor ; the most stylish woman of her day wore pieces of Bakelite . She was gifted with the most exquisite gems by her husband but was very kitschy prone too. I love this lady and enjoy her style.
Those are such cute and beautiful pieces. Its nice seeing more variety of these kind of jewelry. Thank you for showing us and hope you are continue to be well ♥️♥️♥️💐
Loving the collection! Was this dealer from the California Central Valley? Me and my girlfriend had a jewelry teacher that passed away and also had a huge collection of jewelry. She taught us a lot about Bakelite like you are so it’s very reminiscent of her positive attitude.
When I think of some things of my mothers and my aunts that I have given away or put in a garage sale…I can almost be sick 🤪. However I did keep quite a bit as well. Thank you for all of your expertise and sharing with us.
Hello! I have been a subscriber for nearly a year and I am recommending you to all of my friends, especially the ones who live out West. I enjoy your TH-cam channel and your website so very much….I also like the fashion knowledge I am learning from you! Thank you so much, and keep on keeping on! ☺️
Wishing you a beautiful summer of bliss out. Genuinely thrilled to hear full recovery!!!!!! Wooohoooo!!! Love all the jewelry episodes! Keep on keepin on, always wonderful watching you in action.
Ahhh amazing! i commented awhile ago about Bakelite! My grandmother had Bakelite purses and several bangles and bracelets. So excited to see this video. Sending lots of good vibes your way. Can’t wait to visit the store when I’m back home in LA!
I love Bakelite so much but I cannot afford it. So I have created a lot of bracelets that look like bakalit, using polymer clay! In fact I’ve done some with the deep carving that are really neat. I will look online for photos or on eBay and see some designs and then I can copy them and make them almost look like the real thing. Fun fun to do!
I enjoy watching your videos and enjoy the information contained, the history of the piece, the work behind and also because for some e, strange reason I like most of the pieces that you show.. perhaps that is why when I was younger I could rarely find anything of my taste... that is why my friends said to me"you are not fashionable", nevermind!!😘😘
Your content is always so intriguing. Please keep doing this. I really enjoy each episode. So sad that I am not in your area to visit your store for the sale.
I especially enjoyed this episode as I had seen a documentary the making of that type of jewelry plus I really love cherries as jewelry or on an outfit! Lol! Super good episode! Thank u as always!
I love the way Doris speaks; very warm and calm. This channel should be a mandatory resource for fashion students to study.

I agree. She should tag her videos with 'ASMR'
I'm so happy to hear that you are recovered Doris. I love Bakelite jewelry.
I bet that Iris Apfel has a great bakelite collection
1. Doris, you look fabulous. So thankful for your healing. You’ve been through so much over the past two years.

It would have been dishy to discuss the actual Bakeland family and the mess that was. Fascinating stuff. Love your channel.
You're looking well, Doris! So happy to see how well you've recovered.
Fantastic episode. Bakelite song was 🔥!
Enjoyed this! LOVE BAKELITE ❤💛🖤🧡
