I started when my mother died.I have hers, which I use almost daily,my grandmothers, my mother-in-laws, a cousin of my dh's
a few people have given to me, including some that are souviners{sp.}One of which my dgd thoughtfully bought me at the beach. One that came from Spain, an exchange student brought to me. Yes I think they are very unique little collectables.

I collect thimbles. Mostly of places I or my friends have visited. I have a few that were gifts just because they looked pretty and a friend thought I'd like to have them - so sweet. It all started when my mother gave me Great-Grandma's thimble/needle case, with her thimble and needle.
If you have more than 3 it's a collection. I have 58. Is that an obsession?
