 Dating from prehistoric times and perhaps fashioned from pieces of bone, wood or rock, thimbles became an integral part of society. These tiny sewing aids crafted in metal alloys, porcelain, silver and even gold have become charming collectibles in an amazing array of shapes, sizes and designs. From politics to prostitution, employment to education, the thimble has influenced our daily lives. Helen Kay, an amateur collector of thimbles will present a brief history of the thimble and present her collection through a power point presentation. You are invited to participate by bringing your antique thimbles and perhaps learn the date and origin of your hallmarked treasure.


 Ladies and men from the Georgian Bay Lace Makers will also be on hand to demonstrate the art of making Bobbin Lace.
