I held on to a bunch of my grandmother's things.: Linens, hand embroidered napkins, doilies, some awesome vintage clothes from the 50's and her mink stole. I finally decided my grandma did not live inside these inanimate objects. I got rid of all the linens and doilies and only kept a few pieces of clothing and mink stole that I thought one day I might actually have some fun with. The lady I gave them to on freecycle turned around and tried to sell them. shrug. I guess she though they would be worth something to her that way.
