I collect thimbles too, but I go for antique, unusual, etc. I started off by collecting thimbles from various places. I now also go for sewing kits (etui), needle holders, etc. M. |

Elaine, My spoons are not for use just for show. I cleaned them all up and sprayed them with hair lacquer, so you don't think I'd use one of them now, do you? Not likely |

Do you collect strange things? I collect spoons, I have about 150 spoons from just about every country, a wooden love spoon from Wales, a Wajang puppet silver spoon from Indonesia. I have very small spoons and very large. My husband has made a rack for me from board with holes in and threaded elastic through this to hold the spoons. |
