Getting to grips with pricings again

I'm currently getting to grips with where to start back collecting.

My first thought was to check out the local charity shops for some but charity shops seem to check eBay as they were wanting £3 each in one shop for two unremarkable ones and £25 for a set of royal ones. The royal ones maybe we're on their money but from a charity shop and not knowing their worth I wasn't gonna pay that much in a charity shop.

I've since been checking things out on eBay and Google to get a feel for things.

Yesterday I went to the local indoor market and found these little beauties on a stall selling trinkets.

They only cost me a pound each and 1.50 for the domed one which considering that's new ones is a vast difference on the charity shop prices.

Hello

I collected thimbles as a girl when my grandma gave me some as a Christmas present. I had put them away when I left home on my adventures to becoming a wife and mother of two.  My grandma recently passed and I bugged my hubby to dig out the box of thimbles from the loft.

I was surprised to find how many i actually had. I forgot how much fun I'd had collecting them.

Since then Ive got thimbles on the brain and am raring to get collecting again.

So bear with me and ill add to this blog more pics and the like.
