Time for another collections post.
First I am going to show you the culprit that created this collection
This is a thimble of sorts that belonged to my Mother. I thought it was cute and didn't want to part with it but where to put it.........
The Lords prayer wraps around this one and it is pewter.

What a wonderful collection! And memories of places visited.
i like the black swan one.
and the "uf da". I've said that plenty of times and I'm not swedish.
I love the variety of styles and colors.
My sister lives in North Dakota and says, "Uff da" all the time. I picked up the phrase from her.
I love your collection. It brings back memories every time you look at it. I have lots of tiny ducks from the places my husband & I were fortunate to visit.
I love your collection - you have a lot of interesting and different ones. Nice size of things to collect - not that big. Or expensive.
You have a really good variety of thimbles. I lived in ND growing up and heard, "Uff Da", a lot!!
very unique collection and it doesn't take up much space! I say Uffda all the time..and I am a Finn that lives in Minnesota..where there are many Swedish people. I think of Uffda as more of an "Oh my" or a good word when you don't know what else to say:)

I just love looking at what others collect. The first one was a true inspiration. I like how you have collected from your travels. I am a rock collector of our travels which have not been that many. I put the date and where they came from on the rocks with a sharpie. Look forward to the next chapter. Peace
