Thimball inheritance, a wonderful thing.

The year 2010, not the best of years! I lost two, wonderful ladies, my nana and my grandma. Polar opposites as they were, I have such fond memories of both. My grandmas 15 room Georgian house, not including the cellar & attic. The biggest stained glass window you'll ever come across, adorned with the 10 commandments (very spooky as a child) & humongous willow tree in the garden. My Nanas famous catch phrases and hideous toilet covers and the Dairy Milk bars for "energy".

I've inherited some wonderful objects & I have a little moment when I think back to a time when I used to admire each one.

My grandma had an extensive thimble collection that I used to study whenever we visited.

I'm now the proud owner of this selection and it really does mean so much to possess a little something that meant so much to a special someone.

I'm going to treasure them.
