June Summer Fun

 Summer is upon us and Thimble World has many things to see and do. There are many new inclusions and be sure to keep scrolling to see Covington Mountain's new things. So, get ready to visit my thimble sites for lots of thimble fun!

The lake has many seafood eateries.

There, in the distance...Mt. Rushmore!

Cabin in the forest. Mountain lake. Mt. St. Helens in the background.

June 24 is National UFO Day. Looks like one already appeared and is dropping off Bigfoot.

How about seeing races?

Covington Mountain has adjoining sites now!

All new houses. New Castle(s). Waterwheel. Lots of new fun stuff this year!

What's that over that castle in the corner? A UFO!

The cabin at the top of the mountain has a visitor!

New diorama this year with castles, a "sea serpent," a UFO over stonehenge. Sheep and goats wander the countryside. I ws trying to capture a UK feel.

Well, I forgot about what I had planned for the mountain and bought  a lot of other thimbles, so my "plan" had to go off to the side with some modifications.

My friends went to Hawaii and brought me back so very cute, miniature tikis. Of course, I arranged them for that tropical look and feel. Hawaii, anyone?

There are no flamingos in Hawaii, but I have a couple in my Thimble menagerie.

It's still bright and colorful in here.

I bought a "Blarney Castle" souvenir which is the cardboard castle and one of the ceramic thimble towers. I had another. I decided to put together a little scene with it.

My gnomes are still out camping.

Fairy fun with Sasquatch coming through.

The fairy swings outside her house.

Hiking among the animals...and Sasquatch?

With June 24 being UFO Day, I had to get out a big display. Love my Star Trek ships!

Mandolin Summer Music.

Enjoy your June Summer Fun activities!

Honoring the Armed Forces

May is a month of honoring our military. Armed Forces Day is celebrated the third Saturday of the month, so it falls on the 17th this year. This day recognizes the men and women currently serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day, observed the last Monday in May, is on the 26th and it is to remember and mourn those who died while serving in the U.S. military.

This is my salute to our Armed Forces using my thimbles.

I made a small military base using monopoly houses. There's a helipad to the back and the blue America is to represent water and has my ships. Other thimbles include one from Fort Lewis along with 3 that I made myself.

Covington Mountain has a gun emplacement that I made sitting over top of the very plain village.

But, I still have many things out to capture the Springtime. Afterall, April showers bring May flowers.

This moved from the Easter "basket".

The fairy ring is still in place.

Wreath of America's colors!

REMEMBER TO HONOR OUR MILITARY MEMBERS, ALIVE AND DECEASED. 

YOUR FREEDOMS ARE BECAUSE OF THEM.

Showering April with Color!

 Spring has arrived bringing forth colorful displays in ThimbleWorld. Easter icons hop in as well with joyful hues. And although I think I overdid it to fill in all the spaces, I enjoy the various scenes and rainbow of colors. A great "pick-me-up" after the drab winter.

Spring is here!

So many sights...

Man in a canoe in the lake. The lighthouse sits above the upper lake filled with boats.

A little European setting with windmill, home, and Oust house for beer making.

Asian setting of beautiful colors.

The plantation springs to life.

Yes, I went a little crazy and had too much on one side, so I put together something new--a hacienda. I even made a water fountain to grace the front.

There's a walkway to the Thimble Museum through some Asian pagodas.

Bigfoot peeks from his dwelling.

I had to dig out a second (smaller) set of colorful Tudor homes from the Christmas collection so that I would have something similar to previous years. It's all about the Spring color.

The waterwheel churns through the mini lake from the mountain waterfall.

The climbers are being watched!

The lake is back again, but I turned the pier over so the colors show. And there's a person on a bench watching the paddlewheel boat chug by.

The church in all its flowering glory.

Easter is on its way! I set things up a little different this year.

Pink lights illuminate the display.

Peter Rabbit waters his flowers under a dazzling "Faberge" egg.

More pink lights to keep it joyous.

Oregon coast egg with Easter hat and a chick in a basket.

I've always to create a diorama within an Easter basket. Although I couldn't find a colorful square or rectangular basket, I found a plastic basket to try.

Table decoration with deviled egg tray and altered watering can with thimble decor inside.

The Fairy ring is still out.

Ducky reading to baby.

The gnomes are still busy at their cabin as Bigfoot looks on.

The nook.

I love my hummingbirds!

Bigfoot peeks at the kids.

Many delights.

Bigfoot walks into the fairy's domain.

Tiny thimble houses of birch.

Birds galore!

Spring planting.

Momma bigfoot and baby.

Welcome Spring!
