I was going through jars and jars of vintage buttons today to get ready for listing on Etsy when I came across this battered thimble. It's so tiny I can barely fit it over my finger.
Imagine the beautiful quilts and clothing it helped to sew by aiding a pioneering woman back in the early 1900's in the central Kansas prairie.
Perhaps she created a couple of the hand-sewn quilts I will be listing on eBay this weekend.
It's just a tiny piece of history, but one in which imaginations start to run wild while trying piece together a life lived so long ago.
