My Mother gave me her GrandMother's Silver Thimble yesterday.
Isn't it beautiful.
My Mother said her GrandMother had a saying:"Always have a silver thimble and you will never lose it".
It is very old and she gave it to me---she must FINALLY trust me.

What a treasure. Your thimble is beautiful , with rich memories surrounding it.
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

I have never seen such a beautiful thimble. So intricately carved. A tiny work of art.

Absolutely gorgeous, Mary Beth, and how lucky you are to be the next generation of women in your family to have it. I have my Great Great Aunt's silver needle case (very similarly marked) that used to hang around her neck on a long chain.

That is so beautiful. I love old sewing pieces with a history behind them and yours is extra special.

WOW! I didn't know they made thimbles so beautiful. Shoot, these days you're lucky if you can even find one made of any metal. Most are plastic....it's sad.Lucky you, MaryBeth!
