Everyone has something that they collect on trips. For my aunt, it is magnets, my sister collects postcards, my mom collects spoons, and me...I collect thimbles.
I am not really certain how it came about that I started collecting thimbles, but that is totally what happened. I have quite the collection going at this point. If I were home, I would be able to tell you exactly how many.....but seeing as how I am typing this on my best friend's laptop in her mom's kitchen.....I got nothing!
My dad and brother were out yard saleing a couple of summers ago and found me the coolest thimble stand ever. It is shaped like the U.S. and it fit perfectly on the shelves that my dad put up in my room last year!
I have thimbles from literally all over the world. One that Krystal got me on a mission trip to Mexico, one that Josh got me on a visit to Singapore when he was in the Navy, one I bought on a trip to Sea World when I was younger. All different shapes, sizes, and destinations. I don't know that I am really anywhere close to 50, but with each trip.....I generally get one thimble closer!
I will try and remember to add pictures later!
