- Closed-top ThimblesSterling silver closed top thimbles are all purpose tools for hand sewing. They come in many sizes and shapes. Each one is unique because they are finished by hand.
- Collections
- Acorn CollectionWendy gave Peter Pan a thimble to represent her kiss to him, Peter Pan gave Wendy an acorn as a kiss in return. Each wore the symbol of love and friendship on a chain around his/her neck. A thimble in an acorn is a kiss.
- Amber Waves ChatelaineI am a farm girl. I grew up watching my dad run back and forth through the fields; delicately dodging the growing corn as he turned over the black earth. He called that “cultivating”. I love “cultivating” your sewing skills with my sterling silver tools.
- Flower & Garden CollectionMy grandma Lelia loved her garden. She had mounds and brambles of zinnias and bachelor buttons. On Mother’s Day every year, we walked through the woods to find the Dutchman’s Britches and Dogtooth Violets.
- Lily of the Valley CollectionLily of the Valley flowers grew in the corner of the porch at grandma Mildred’s house. Their tiny bloom and heavy scent always juxtaposed in my child’s mind. The romantically delicate white blooms are often in big bridal bouquets and tiny vials on dressing tables.
- Prairie Summer Chatelaine
- Sun & Moon – Stars & Planets CollectionStargazing always makes me feel small. The beaming bright sun by day and then the majestic stars and glowing moon at night… What is out there? How can I find it?
- Thistles CollectionMy father’s family crossed the ocean from Ireland in 1788. Thistles and clovers are featured in our family crest and often appear in family weddings.
- Water CollectionI traveled to Machiliputnam, India to play with a group of children in an orphanage. We took them to the Bay of Bengal to play in the salt water… Little girls with long dark curls splashing… We always saw sea turtles on those trips.
- Wild Rose CollectionThis tangled rose grows in the road ditches in Iowa. It is a delicate 5 petaled rose that just lasts one day in the steamy heat of summer. This Wild Rose chatelaine has a vintage look and feel. The sewing tools include a beeswax locket, a needle keeper, and a wild rose closed top thimble in a cage.
