I'm doing the blues again today with Sally at Smiling Sally. Please go by and visit the other blue participants.
Today I am sharing three blue thimbles. These thimbles were sold by Avon Products in the early eighties. I have six, but I'm only sharing the blue ones today.
The first one doesn't have a date of representation in it, but the second one is circa 1927 and the third is circa 1938. Each one is two inches high.
I have these displayed inside a cabinet in our bedroom. I really should try to sell them some day.

Hi Beverly, your thimbles are so sweet in blue. I have those too. Over the years some are broken. I can't remember what is left or where they are. sigh.
Have a happy day my dear friend.
Love you...Jeanne

Morning Beverly, Yes, you could sell them, or you could give them to someone, oh, let me think ... someone who particularly likes blue ... oh, I don't know .. someone who would SMILE when she got them! lol Happy Blue Monday!
I looked them up on eBay, and the first one you have is copyrighted 1982 and she depicts an 1890 woman.

Hi Beverly,
I love the blue thimbles. I've never seen anything like those before. All are beautiful and I don't believe I could pick just one to be my favorite.
Have a great day,

wonderful to see blue today . We've had precious little blue sky it seems to me today and I get so used to it, that a gray day gets me down as nothing else does. But the day is almost over and we've had lovely weather predicted for the morrow. I'm sure it will be!

I love the thimbles. I've never seen them before and they are a wonderful color of blue. Have a good, good week! Nancy

Oh My Gosh Beverly. I saw 2 of them on someone's site and I kept the pictures. I LOVE the one in the middle. She actually looks like my mom in those days. I have a picture of her with a hat and pearls like the lovely lady.
Thanks for showing us the girls. I would love to see the rest of the collection. I loved the Avon lady when she would ring our door bell.
Happy Blue Monday
Love Claudie
