[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 4083179, member: 27991"] Some "stuff" I kept because of sentiment, memories or usefulness. Papa's gun, pipe, table saw. Grandma's cast iron skillet, hand sewn quilt. Mom "collected" tea sets. She had them everywhere. She had mentioned always wanting a china hutch. Dad bought a hutch for anniversary. We had a "Russain Royal Coronation Tea Set" (replica) displayed at our coffee shop. Mom liked the style, design and color. We closed the shop and gave her the tea set. She displayed it in the china hutch. Birthdays and other occasions, people started giving tea sets, of every size. I built 2 display cases. There were 4 shelves. Tea sets everywhere. After her funeral, I told the grandkids and great-grandkids, "if you want a tea set, take it." The first to step up was my oldest grandson. He said, "I want this one, I played with it, when I was little and got my hand swatted. I will give it to my daughter, when I have one." My brother took a shadow box display. He seen where Mom had wrote on the back, "Mother's Day '05 built by Chris". He asked me if I wanted it. I gave it to him. We sold around 20 tea sets and several other knick knacks. My criteria, does it mean something to ME? otherwise, it is just stuff. [/QUOTE]
