(34,025 posts)I used to use it for holidays but that ended pretty soon since you have to hand wash it. It sits in the china closet now. My 3 adult sons dont want any part of it. When I die it will probably be set out in a box by the curb! To think of the original cost
. What a waste of $.
My mothers generation liked Hummels.
Ashtrays
Collector plates from the Bradford Exchange. Or anything from The Bradford Exchange.
Crocheted throws. I have 3 of them inherited from hubbys great aunt. They weigh a ton and are scratchy.
I put them in vacuum storage bags in the closet.
Spoon rests
Grandfather clocks.

.
Spoon collections, thimble collections
A crocheted cover for the extra roll of toilet paper sitting on the back of the tank. My hubbys aunt had one that looked like a doll and the roll cover was her big hoop skirt.
