[quote=Anonymous]I agree with offering them to other family members first, and then getting rid of them - donate them, sell them, whatever strikes your fancy. We have kept some heirlooms, trashed others (no one wants that stained, moth eaten doily even if great-etc-grandmother made it), and donated or sold others. My family has handed down all sorts of things to extended relatives. It's funny when you realize that your great-grandmother and your cousin's great-grandmother from the other side both had the same china pattern. Your china loving cousin now has an intact 12 piece china set with some other pieces held in reserve for future breakage. And I don't have to feel guilty for sending my great-grandmother's china to goodwill![/quote]
