Thimbles, Etc. is an independently owned company which was started in 1996 when an attempt to find a sterling silver thimble with which to sew proved unsuccessful. If I was having so much trouble finding a silver thimble to buy, so must others as well.
And so we embarked on a journey that would help anyone who used a thimble find the appropriate kind and get a custom fit. It was quite fortuitous that we would be called Thimbles, Etc. as the ETC gave us lots of room to expand within the niche of thimbles and complementary accessories.
We started with a line of functional thimbles and a single wire thimble cage. Now we have over 300 different products in our line.
Due to customer demands, we also began carrying a line of collectible thimbles and cases in which to display them.
To better service the needs of our customers, we began vending at various quilting and sewing shows across the country as well as developing a web presence. We love meeting our customers, many of whom have become good friends throughout the years.
My love of thimbles is three-fold:
I sew with one, I collect them, and now I sell them!
Happy thimbling!
