Kay with her new Guide Dog 'Davy'

Bob out and about in Derbyshire

Hi there.  We are Bob and Kay; Bob is a 52yr old wheelchair user with an arthritic spine and Kay is a 51yr old Registered Blind Guide Dog Owner.

We both share a passion for thimbles and see them as an affordable way of owning your own personal art gallery, all in miniature.

Originally, when we set up our eBay shop, it was purely intended as something for Bob to do to as a hobby and make use of his skills acquired over 25 years of running his own businesses and, at that time, Kay had just had her previous Guide Dog 'Libby' retired early through health problems.

Kay has now trained and qualifed with her new Guide Dog Davy, seen in the picture.  This is her 5th Guide Dog and with each Guide Dog now costing the charity Guide Dogs for the Blind a staggering 5,000 for breeding, training and support, we realised that Kay alone had now cost the charity some 75,000!!! and probably, all being well, needing another 3 or 4 Guide Dogs in her lifetime.

We have therefore decided that it is only fitting that we develop the shop as much as we possibly can and that all profits from it should be donated to the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.

So, bear in mind that every purchase you now make from Bob and Kay's Collectable Thimbles will now go towards helping someone like Kay to enjoy a more independent life with a Guide Dog.

Thankyou for taking the time to see who we are and what we are about and we hope that we might be of service to you at some time in the future.

We will always give you our 100% best efforts to ensure that your dealings with us are enjoyable, efficient, expedient and totally satisfying.

YOU CAN NOW CALL US OR SEND A TEXT MESSAGE ON 07864 953019 BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 8.00am AND 7.00pm GMT ANY DAY OF THE WEEK WITH ANY QUERIES YOU MIGHT HAVE.

Assuring you all of our best attentions at all times, Best Regards from Bob and Kay.
