Thimble’s Regret
She was the third one to wear me this evening.
None of them sewed, though they all had strong hands.
I miss the jab and the quiet of mending.
Now I bring strangers and coin to their palms.

May have arisen from confusion between "Hood" and "Wood" in French (bois)

#QuiteInteresting collectors rabbithole taking a look at English #pyrex glassware, inherited from my mother-in-law. It's not a fruit-bowl, but a heat proof serving dish as it fits in a metal frame for a candle.
JAJ existed 1923-1973, with #opaline made in the 1960s.
Ebay? Just £10!
