My niece and and nephew (now 21 and 15) always wanted to do some sewing/craft with me whenever they came to visit. I am a collector of thimbles too, just started last year, it's quite addictive isn't it!? I have about 10 so far, many from around the world. I really enjoyed your post.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866701359108465268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8196581731869031801.post-77851347309687250822013-10-20T08:24:07.650+13:002013-10-20T08:24:07.650+13:00So much to see in this post Raewyn!
