I have been collecting thimbles for years. It is a nice inexpensive souvenir from my travels. I have one thimble case which holds 100 thimbles that has thimbles that other have gotten for me in their travels. I have a thimble case my sister made for me it is filled with thimbles I have collected and another smaller case that has about 25 or so thimbles in it. These all grace the walls in my sewing room. They come in all sizes and shapes and are fun to look at and to remember where they came from.
