It’s Official – WE ARE MOVING!

The lease is signed and in February 2027 Thimbles will move over the road and a few doors down to 117 Main Street (the old Take Me Back shop).

A massive Thank you to everyone for your support and encouragement to continue, it really is appreciated. Thank you for all the offers of help to move us, we will re-visit that closer to the time as some help will be much appreciated.

We have signed up for 4 years with right to renew after that. Thimbles will be turning 34 this year (10 years on Main Street in November) and I would love to take Thimbles to its 50th! By then it will be time to retire LOL

As we get ready for our move, we have started sorting and will be running a ‘clearance table’. No point moving things that are no longer required. A lot has gone already, and we will continue to add so pop in and check it out often!

We are currently running a “Spring Special” on our Gift Range, get a head start on your Xmas shopping ……
40% OFF
Excludes: Lothlorian, Items sold on behalf, items already reduced and new Xmas.

Can’t wait to see you soon at Thimbles
