Saucy Like Sunday Mornings

It's been peeing it down all weekend which put paid to our usual Saturday morning car boot sale, but our shopping plans weren't completely ruined, there was a choice of five jumble sales instead. As well as some rather fabulous vintage clothing I also managed to snaffle a heap of nylon sleepwear. After a hasty afternoon washing marathon I couldn't wait to try some of it out.

St Michael two-piece worn with marabou trimmed mules (£2.99, British Heart Foundation)

I never wear anything in bed but can't resist the lure of a flimsy vintage nightie for flouncing around in on a Sunday morning, it makes me come over all Babs Windsor straight out of a saucy Carry On film.

It makes me happy to think that behind the tight perms and prim blouses the pensioners helping out at the church jumble sale once wore baby doll nighties like this one.

This peach nightie with a shirred bodice and cape sleeves is pretty enough to wear as a sun dress in Goa.

This 1950's see-thru' beauty is a stunner.

This St Michael nightie and peignoir set is lovely but the Brentford Nylons quilted housecoat nearly had me shedding tears of joy. My Mum had one of these in both hot pink and purple when I was a little girl growing up in the 1960's.

I even managed to find a 1940's lingerie envelope to keep my finds in.

I'll show you more of my jumbo haul tomorrow.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I'm looking forward to The Apprentice final later, the wine's already chilling and I've put an order in for one of Jon's famous veggie pizzas.
