ReplyDeletei haven't unpacked them yet, but now that i have seen yours I am going to look for mine and unpack them. Thanks for the lovely reminder! xx
Gosh I am always amazed by what people collect and thimbles are so small and decorative are'nt they? Do people give them to you?

Hi Laurie Anne & Sarah Jane,
ReplyDeleteLaurie Anne- Someone else that collects thimbles how cool! I have never met anyone here in Ireland that collects them. Go unpack yours, you'll enjoy looking through them all again & when you get time post them on your blog :)
Sarah Jane- yes its mostly my parents, brother or one of my friends that bring them back from holidays. I never go searching for them in shops when I'm away, if I see one I might buy it but only if it is unique. I remember when I was about 12 I went to England and there were loads of them in markets for like 50 pence each, but most of them are for tourists and are around 3-4 euro.
All things nice...
Fantastic! I wouldn't want to dust all of them though!!! xxx
