My Little Indulgence.

No, Sherry, dear friend. I very well understand the heart-felt ties to our
mother's treasures. I have mine too. I was just reacting along the lines
of our not being able to completely enjoy our indulgences because our heirs
will sell them for 25¢ or sweep them in the trash. I'm just hoping our
children will have one whale of a garage sale and a big party to celebrate
their success. Unless, of course, I find a way to take it with me. Polly

Polly, your heirs have memories attached to things you wouldn't
expect. My mom has asked me what would I want to keep if she dies and
was surprised at my choices. They were the things that bring back
fond memories to me, but she didn't feel the same way about the items
at all.

I have the silver one. I love it. I did get fitted at a quilt show, so I
can't help you with the sizing process. There is something about the silver
that becomes even more comfortable when wearing for a while. The metal
heats up and makes it even better. I hesitate to repeat what was told to me
because I might get it wrong. OR I got suckered into the silver one :-)
.....either way, I do love it.

Seriously, I have the same problem too. Apparently, my fingers are too
small for most thimbles so I've used the plastic ones (the tacky ones
that look like a real finger?). Those you boil in water until they melt
a bit so you can mold them to your finger. But since they're so cheap,
I end up not caring so much about them and losing them ...

I think I'll try a Roxanne - I've always heard great things about them!
'Sides, they're so PRETTY!

Connie, YES, exactly the same here! My fingers are very small. The
best thimble I'd found
was also those boil-first plastic finger-colored thingys. If that's
also your current favorite,
you will absolutely love the Roxanne. Like KJ mentioned, it feels like
you're wearing a ring or something.
You honestly forget about it, as it becomes an extension of your
finger.

Well, ya'll sold me! Are Roxanne booths common at most quilt shows??
Though they have those ring sizing kits, I'd be much more comfy at
spending the $$ if I knew it was actually the right size.

Do you think that there's much difference between models in terms of
comfort/fit? I'm allergic to most metals - silver is the one I KNOW I'm
not allergic to. Practically anything else and I blow up like some sort
of freakish puffer fish! :/

Kathyl, my TJ Lane thimble is also silver, and I agree with you. The
silver seems to expand a bit when my fingers are hot and contract a bit
when my fingers are cold. It's amazingly comfortable!
