I know I said I was not going to buy any more thimbles for a while, but I just couldn't pass these up. Sunset Beach and Cowboy Elvis. They should be here by Friday. I hope the Skirt doesn't notice I have added 2 more to my modest collection.

Oh well, I'll post some Q&Ds when they arrive. Thanks for looking.

I would really love one of those Elvis thimbles, but unfortunately they are too big for my fingers

Anyone know the width of the Sunset Beach?
Congrats, David. I`m soooo jealous!

Hows about some action finger shots down the road when you put them into the rotation.
That is unless these are heading right for you display case-which would be 100% understandable.
so jealous

Really liking that Elvis one, David
What's the next new project you'll be tackling with these? They are just too awesome to be stuck on a shelf and not be used!

It's only natural, Chris, those are killer thimbles! Congrats David! Seriously, I don't wanna see those put in rotation, at least not The King. That one deserves it's own special place in the box.

That's no biggie either, Chris. I once smuggled a rare English thimble thru custom by concealing it you-know-where. I kept that uncomfortable hunk of silver there for 23 hours - the entire plane trip, customs, TSA check thrus at least 4 times - they never knew.

Guess i just outted myself on that one, huh?
Oh yeah, hey David, if you're looking for a great way to display your growing collection, check out these display boxes.
http://www.jwmercantile.com/thcases.html granted most of them are from Amazon, but he's got some nice State thimbles there too. Worth checking out.

Pheeeew!!!!
I thought I was the only one and would eventually be banished to 3T-Thread Time Talk

for my-what I thought at the time-deviant behavior.
God I am so relieved.
