This week I am showing vintage panties potholders. Panties were one of the most common of the unusually shaped (not a common geometric shape like a square or circle) potholders. There are so many of these still around that I suspect many were given for wedding showers, which is why I included the newlywed postcard (after all, this is a postcard blog). Does anyone know if there actually was a wedding connection? Many are still in pairs of "his and hers" styles, some labeled and some not. Most are a double thinkness with an opening at the bottom. Some are open at the top also. The third pair is a single thickness of somewhat thicker thread. The last pair shown is a pair of identical design; the picture shows front and back.

Every VTT someone shows something I've never heard of, and this week it's you! These are so cute!
I have seen a lot potholders, but none this cute. This is a neat post. Also, thank you for informing me of my mistake. Seem I have had too many senior moments today.

How creative...love your collection!
Keeeee-Ute!!!!!
Now that I see them on this post, I believe I do remember seeing a few in my childhood days. Oh, and the newly wed post card is such an "awwwwwww" moment!
I guess these were the original 'hot pants'...LOL Very cute!!
Well, I never...Cute, cute, cute! and as always, I enjoyed the postcard.
What memories, DH Granny Rabbit, used to make these years ago. When I saw these I had to stop and think, "wonder where those old pot holder she made went to?
Thanks for the memories.

The postcard is cute, but I don't think I would like the panties potholders. I have never seen them before - maybe I just need to get used to the idea ;-)
hahaha these are ssoo cute..i've never seen anything like them..i love the red crochet one :)
Those are too funny & too cute & sweet I have never seen pantie pot holders before, thanks for showing them!
"hot panties" indeed.lolz
They are absolutely a riot. Especially funny as a whole collection. Happy Vintage Thingies Thursday.
I think that I need to forward this 'Let me do it' postcard image to Francois! I wouldn't mind if he set the table every once in a while!
You've given me a project idea! I'm going to try crocheting hot pants potholders!
PS. Yoo- Hoo is a chocolate milk beverage:)
Ha, ha, I liked Marie's hot pants comment. The bloomers are cute and I would never have thought to show panties in the kitchen but these are so darn cute. To me they are a great bridal shower item.
Oh, these are so vintage-y sweet! I'm going to look for some. Maybe thumb tack them to a wall!
