Yes, I collect thimbles, spoons and shot glasses ( I don't drink, but love to collect them).

My thimbles are displayed in glass cases so I don't have to dust them. I need to make a list of what I have as have been trying to collect one from each state in USA and other countries.

I have one with a moose hugging the thimble and one with a duck sitting on top of the thimble.
Whenever anyone in my small quilting group goes anywhere, we bring back a thimble and fat quarter for each member in the group. My husband brings me one occassionally from his business trips.
I love looking for them at garage sales too. What do you have?
