You won’t believe what one woman found in her £75 thrift shop find! Michelle Morgan was just looking to add a charming chest of drawers to her home when she made this incredible discovery. Hidden in the bottom drawer, she discovered a meticulously wrapped box containing a vintage nightgown and robe, alongside a heartfelt note.
The note revealed that these clothes were honeymoon attire from April 10, 1954. Michelle, who picked up the chest at Joseph’s Storehouse in Baton Rouge, was both amazed and moved by this unexpected find. She wonders if these precious items ended up at the shop by accident and is now on a mission to reunite them with their rightful family.
Without a detailed inventory from the shop, Michelle has turned to social media for help. She shared the find on Facebook, describing the pieces as “priceless heirlooms” and hopes to connect with the original owners or their descendants. The garments, believed to be from Maison Blanche in New Orleans, are still in their original packaging, sparking nostalgia and intrigue.
Comments on her post reflect the story’s warmth, with many urging the items’ reunion with the family. One user exclaimed, “What a treasure to find! Hopefully, you can locate some of their family, that would be such a precious keepsake for them!” Another added, “How beautiful! I hope you can find them.”
Do you know someone who might have ties to this cherished piece of history? Michelle is asking anyone who might recognise the garments or the story behind them to get in touch via Facebook. Let’s help bring this enchanting piece of the past back to its family! 🕰️💌
