Beautiful Whites

 

 This was an easy week for restocking my booth at Old Bank Antiques.

Linda, sister #3, was home for Thanksgiving and she brought three boxes

overflowing with  things she had gathered over the years and was ready to

part with.  I am happy to put them in my store for her.  I still have to tell her that I

am keeping several things for myself!!!!  Shhhhh!

I love pretty white milk glass.

This is the base to a punch bowl – now I just need the bowl!

I have it upside down – it makes it’s own bowl this way.

 

Don’t you love reticulated pieces?

The perfect tray for Santa’s snack.

A sweet snow angel bell

 

This Next Thing Is Going To Blow Your Socks Off!

             I was the lucky winner of this beauty at the

         Online Auction Fundraiser for Valorie & Alberto.

Presenting…The Mister Darcy  vintage French cotton & lace chemise de nuit~

offered by Metis Linens.

Yep…a Frenchman wore this long,  long ago- and he was one wee little man!!!

G-Man calls it the Seinfeld Shirt!  Remember that episode?

Be still my heart…look at the details

 

I imagine that many hours were spent sewing this masterpiece by hand.

 

The back is as lovely as the front

 

Needless to say,  I am thrilled to have it.

 

Sadly, it is too small for me, but my old wicker dress form

is rocking it with this vintage rhinestone belt…also, too small!  Crying face

Join me at these linky parties:

  1. Hi Rhonda,
    Love all your pretties your sister has decided to part with. My favorite is that awesome gown.
    Hard to believe a man would wear that, but hey men need ruffles too! LOL!

    It's gorgeous.

    hugs

  5. OH MY GOSH! I can't believe that shirt! I certainly do remember the Seinfeld shirt episode...with the "quiet talker". He had to wear on the Letterman show! What a piece you found and scored on. I love the milk glass pieces too...but that shirt takes it all! Hugs- Diana

  14. That shirt is gorgeous! I'm also half in love with the milk glass plate. I so rarely see reticulated pieces and they're usually a small tray or bowl. Pretty!
