If yes, I certainly have it....A little sad because I only have big family dinners a few times a year, but I love to have my wedding china, my mother's china, my grandmother's china, my mother's Christmas plates, my grandmother's Thanksgiving dishes...I don't think of this as clutter.

My sister is so much more ruthless about not holding on to what she doesn't need! Hopefully, my own kids will want some of these heirlooms for I just can't part with them. I'm just hopelessly sentimental for most of this stuff belonged to my father's mother.<br /><br />Your Nan's dishes are so lovely, and that her husband selected them, makes them even more special! Taking photos for remembering and then giving the things away would never work for me! Gotta be careful not to be a "hoarder" my hubby tells me. There's some truth there for sure so I'm hoping my kids will want some of this stuff for their own homes!<br />V<br />VStickhorsecowgirlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167094045033324094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-53846044439035001852011-05-03T08:16:49.742-04:002011-05-03T08:16:49.742-04:00Good Morning Vee!

They may even have been the ones who gave her the information about the pattern's being lost.<br /><br />Linds, a creature of habit I am so it is unlikely that I will use them often. I prefer my everyday Corelle because it's light. My hands are sore most days and the heavy china is too much. <br /><br />Brenda, yes, I do believe that. I was reading a Texas blog and they were cozied up by the fireplace. Crazy spring weather this year.<br /><br />Pat, that is a great idea!

It is amazing how much these dishes can mean and the memories they hold.<br /><br />I know you asked about yesterday but I was out and about most of the day and didn't get here....so I'll answer about today. I get to watch my little kiddos at MOPS this morning and then visit my friend with cancer. After that I will come home and work on a huge candle order from a young man prepping for a mission trip this Summer. It seems it will be a full day.<br /><br />Blessings.Becky K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531485758141842829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-76347938606166474762011-05-03T01:44:19.735-04:002011-05-03T01:44:19.735-04:00My mom got a set of china from her grandmother.

It's good you have things in storage so you can take your time and sort through it all slowly. <br />I have a friend who took photos of all her deceased mother's belongings and then sent out the photos in book form asking all relatives what they would like to keep. If more than one relative wanted ther same thing they drew straws. She then donated all that no one wanted to keep, as she felt the photos would now hold their memories.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-57393611155361108892011-05-02T19:33:34.350-04:002011-05-02T19:33:34.350-04:00The china is beautiful Vee!
