The humble thimble

My dear friend that I 'm helping through her illness has been collecting thimbles for about 40 years. I said they'd make a good photo for 365 and she was happy to share her interest. This is only a sample of her 700-800 collection :)

Phew! That's some collection! I counted 125! This, of course, does not include those on the far side of the circular displays. Remarkable shots and lovely for your friend to have the photos to hand; I imagine she's delighted.

My sister in law collects thimbles. But when you want to buy one as a gift, it's really difficult to find an original one!
