The Thimbles are an archipelago of 100 to 365 islands, depending on whether you count small rocks, reefs, ledges and sandbars that surface at low tide, off Branford, east of New Haven. The largest, Horse Island, owned by the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale University, is 17 acres. They look like chunks of coastal Maine — with pink granite bases and lush covers of hardwoods, pines and thickets — that have somehow ended up in Long Island Sound.

 

Their name, most locals agree, derives from the thimbleberry, a type of black raspberry, that used to grow on them in abundance.

  

To make room for more dolls I have to put away my little collection of stitching related things. So I took photos of them.

Thimbleberry bushes found along m-26 just down the road from phoenix.

This box was always beside my Grandmother's work station at the Lakeland Upholstery Shop, my family's business in Northern Wisconsin.

 

She has been retired from her part of the business for many years now, she was a custom drapery maker and did tayloring and alterations. As far as I'm concerned, her work was unparalleled.

This was for the vintage project. The window pane adds leading lines. There are patterns on the wood. I used a filter to add the vintage look. It is no rule of thirds.

Not quite sure what this vehicle with the thimble on its roof is, but I found it amusing that it's connected in to the building with an extension cord.

This is a picture of Thimble berry it was taken at an nature park on the out skirts of my hometown Prince George B.C Canada,. I like how the pictures pulls you into a spiral into darkness, But really it shows how the plant grows in such a way that it maximizes it exposure to sunlight.

it's a little big but still cute on Cecily, but it fits Kyndal so perfectly as a shirt.

I think this may be my new avatar. I'm looking to add more personality to my online presence and I think this works. It's my grandma's thimble! I'd love your opinion...

 

taken so I could see the hallmarks better - but they've come out quite well.
