Joan's story reminded me of when I was given several boxes of china. My dad had passed and my stepmom sold the house. She asked me if there was anything I wanted. She had lots of really neat Christmas ornaments & angels. So I said I would love a couple of those. Just pick 2-3 out for me. Nooooo.........she brings me like 5 boxes of assorted china that was my grandma's.
I can't remember the name of it now. But telling me it is worth some money . Well, I have no where to keep this stuff. I don't like it so will not use it. So I call around and get the same story over & over. What I have is very common, not complete and pieces are chipped etch. So bottom line, not worth anything.
So I pulled out like 3 pieces that were in there I did like and sent all the rest off to Goodwill. I felt bad for awhile, but it really meant nothing to me nor did I even like it. Once it was gone & I got over the guilt I felt so much lighter!
