The Tin Thimble is a family-owned and operated creative sewing and fiber arts shop. We believe that there is great value in skilled hand work - we have seen over and over again the restorative, spiritual and confidence building effects of working with ones hands. Here at the shop we make a point to create an inviting and safe place to try new things and express creativity.
Before 1689, Kidd was a member of various buccaneer crews and eventually captained a privateer ship that was commissioned to protect the English colonies in the Caribbean against French attacks. He soon learned that patronage (i.e. making friends with influential men who could help him) was the best method of advancement. For the next half dozen years Kidd was in New York (a haven for pirates) doing favors for, and accepting favors from, powerful friends.

Oh, no! The drama! Olive's dumped Popeye for Blutto!
(Difficult to get a good angle with both shop's names due to bus shelters and other street furniture.)
