I'm glad you found it. I have a thimblelady thimble, also and would hate to have to replace it.
In a simiar vein,I just lost my little gym bag, containing my gloves, my towel, and resistance band. I would stick in the car door and it must have fallen out somewhere that I didn't notice. The worst part was losing my fairly new workout gloves. Luckily, I had bought 2 pairs.
