All quilters need them - even the ugly looking ones (thimbles I mean)
And then it happens.
A lovely old one is given to you by a relative in England.
Your older neighbour at the cottage lets you have one that belonged to her mother.
Even dear hubby gets in the act (his, of course, is a manly one - The Coppergate York Helmet)And then - jackpot!
You never intended to get this many...
Certainly not all at once!
But HOW could you resist (for $5.00 - that's $6.36 CDN) - and one even had your Zodiac sign (it was mean't to be - come home with me my darlings - little shelf and all).
So now, amongst all the other odds and ends you have - you suddenly collect thimbles! Sigh, still cheaper then booze or drugs...
Julie, what a cute post and an appropriate collection!!
ReplyDeleteToday, I was telling Nancy Stanley about your collection, and she said that she collects them also. You two should compare your collections.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection of thimbles. I love the little white china one with the red bird. I only have one thimble but it's very special as it once belonged to my grandmother :-)
