You know from my blog that my Aunt Shirley is dying. She is being very business like about the whole thing...and does not want her girls stressing when the time comes...so she wants to be buried in a night gown...you know the kind young brides used to get when they married...the virginal gown, robe, etc...and they are not to be had anymore. Everything is sexy...and my aunt...does not want to go out sexy....so my cousins and I started looking on ebay in vintage penoirs. We found one...it was blush...with satin trim around the throat and wrists...from the 1940's. It looks like something Greta Garbo might have worn. My aunt could not make up her mind...so we missed the ending sale. My cousin emailed the seller...explained the situation and what we wanted it for...and she is holding it for us...til my aunt makes up her mind. The seller agreed not to relist this until my aunt says yeah or nah. Leigh, it is absolutely gorgeous...it looks so angelic. We all look at it...and cry. We cry a lot these days...over my aunt and dad.STILLMAGNOLIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453175923858351452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4375221373059262847.post-35625180002595496672009-07-10T00:01:10.605-05:002009-07-10T00:01:10.605-05:00Fun place.

I bought it from a girl in an antique mall, and there weren't any more of them. I have a pair for two chairs in my LR... one says seaside, and the other says summer.

Just got a huge Mediterranean double-matted framed cat print there for my daughter's 22nd birthday coming up. Love it.<br />It was an absolute steal at $25.<br />I know she will love it.
