Charity shop finds...

I am a self confessed charity shop addict. I have no qualms buying up a ready made collection, unwanted by it's previous owner. My latest haul is a collection of 38 china thimbles... my friends see this as a form of cheating, believing I should really visit the 38 labelled destinations rather than  purchasing them in one fell swoop!  





I see them these thimbles as small memory portals, a vehicle for the thimble owner to hold on to captured treasured moments... until the moment is decided when these souvenirs from the past are no longer needed.
