Texas Roses and Vintage Rose Lingerie

One of the benefits of Texas is the long gardening season and the perfect climate for roses. Don't get me wrong, they grew fabulous in Michigan as well, but down here they are just glorious from March until January. This year, exceptional. The size of dinner plates and the bushes sagging from the weight of so many blooms.


I love roses and all flowers, from my back yard, or a gracious birthday bouquet from a friend.




If you too love roses, but they aren't blooming yet where you live, here are just a few pretty nightgowns and even a short duster robe in glorious floral prints for you to enjoy indoors!

Pantone Fall 2011 Deep Teal Vintage Lingerie

For over 40 years,
Pantone has predicted color trends in everything from graphics to cars. For the last fourteen, they "diversified" to fashion, with trend setting colors for every season. Its always fun to get a sneak peek of the colors, see the new names for them and watch each color transition into society.

Its also fun to see what goes around comes around. Many popular colors from the 60s are hot again this year, like avocado green and harvest gold, re named and the hues changed a bit.

Always a blue / green person, my favorite is the Deep Teal.. a color that looks great on anyone, from blonde to brunette and there's a shade of teal perfect for everyone! Here are just a few vintage lingerie items available at

Romantic Vintage Chiffon Lingerie Gifts She Will Adore

Vintage Aqua Full Sweep Chiffon Nightgown Peignoir Set

One of the most romantic fabrics is chiffon. It is soft, luxurious and feminine, especially the vintage all nylon chiffon. There is nothing like it today. Chiffon is not just "sexy" but can be modest and feminine as well and comes in any color of the rainbow.

There is chiffon for every taste or style, from a sweet little demure gown with a chiffon overlay, or a dramatic sweeping sheer nightgown with a matching sheer chiffon robe, to a flirty little nylon nightgown with just a hint of wispy chiffon in the form a little bedjacket. She'll love it and you for giving it to her!! These and more chiffon gowns available at

Vintage Pretties New With Tags Lingerie Perfect for Gift Giving

It always amazes me to find vintage items, new never worn. The manufacturer tags still attached, hanging from a sleeve just as it was when it was purchased 40+ years ago. How can someone possess such beautiful items and never enjoy or wear them?

Possibly, the recipient received more items as gifts than they could wear in a lifetime! My grandmother always wore dresses. Always. pants were just not an option. For gift occasions, we always gave her slips or flannel nightgowns. The nightgowns were hard to find unless we bought vintage.. she was set in her ways and only wore certain cotton flannel ones not available today.. And of course, she had tons of slips with the original tags on them.

You have to admit, it makes an even nicer gift ~ not only are you giving the ultimate in recycling, the bonus is better quality fabric, superior construction and often designs, incredible laces and trims just not found in today's garments! A gift you can be proud to give, and hopefully the tags cut and the item enjoyed!

Here are just a few of the Vintage Items I have new with tags, more coming daily!
