I enjoyed all your comments! I think the most important things to collect are those that your family has passed down, and I am glad to see some of you feel that way too.
I have some of my family’s silver and dishes that are three or four generations old. Some are from around 1870! We never use them, but I would NEVER give them up even though they are worth a lot of $$$. My great grandparents treasured them, and I do too!
Even simple little “things” can serve a very big purpose-to remind us always of the people who owned them before us!
