Weekend Treasure Hunt


I was so excited when I came upon this vintage Odette Barsa lingere at a yard sale over the week end....what a find!     I was able to get a little background on the pieces from the lady having the sale.....they belonged to her mother in law that had just passed away and are from the 50's.    It is a four piece set and she had them marked individually but really wanted the set to stay together so she made me a great deal on the four pieces.....$10 for all.   I told her I would add them to the collection that I have of my mothers vintage lingere and always treasure them.

All the pieces are in excellent condition......


Look at the ribbon work......gorgeous!


Ecru lace over pink sating......


There is a long gown and robe......a short robe.....and a bed jacket.


I also picked up a set of pillow cases that are the same color.....I think her mother in law must have loved this shade of pink.


Here is another set of vintage pillow cases that I picked up at the same sale.


Brass candelabra......


Believe sign and sweet lamb


lovely plate and saucer


Hobnail milk glass piece  that will be good as new when I get a screw for it
 

My new vintage lingere went straight to my closet in the master bedroom......


There are two closets in the bedroom and I have one filled with vintage clothing and the other holds my every day clothing.  H has a big double closet in the guest room right across the hall for his stuff.    


Here is their new home......


I am working in the hallway again today....can't wait to show you the progress!

  4. Holy cow. That is such a cute closet! I am just amazed by what you found for almost nothing. I am sure it was comforting for the seller to know her mother in laws items were going to a good home that would cherish them as much as she did.

  6. Wow Penny---that hobnail milk-glass plate would make the most awesome clock. Don't you Think? It would certainly be more seen then stored for party use.

    And the lingerie, my grandmother had a piece or two. So beautiful, something we dont' do as we schlump around in shorts and tees, and seldom anything pretty. But then lace is itchy, LOL.

    Fun post-great finds- thanks, Sandi
