My statement couldn't be just black and white. Some things are the exception. But I would hope that a family could and would make room somewhere for the things that made that person happy in life. My wifes grandmother collected Shirley Temple dolls. about 12 inch dolls and had 15-20 in various costumes. We found a high shelf and thats where they will stay. lolWell, what would you do if you inherited literally hundreds of longenbuger baskets, and other “collectible” stuff you or the rest of your extended family don’t care for at all? We tried to find people that would like it and give it to them. I kept 1 tiny basket. I also have no use for the Santa clause collection or little figurines collection. Or the collection of ice boxes. My dad and his siblings refused to have an estate sale, so we had to work to give it away.
