Downsizing crockery?

If we downsize I’ll probably be forced to get rid of some things, but both daughters will happily take it off my hands.
But like you Callistemon, not yet!

We had a good clear out last year but none of the crockery or glasses of which there's plenty, were got rid of. A lot has sentimental value for me and what doesn't, I like so wont be clearing any of it out anytime soon, if ever.

I've got a lot of crockery and glasses too from my parents house - as well as from when I got married. I don't need so many but I don't want to get rid of them - yet, so there they continue to sit in the cupboards

The DDs have said they want it.
But not just yet ..........
🤔

I don’t have best crockery, but I have lots of it, I like a mix and match look, and I’m constantly buying more bits and pieces, I will be sad when I’m forced to slim it down.
As for mugs, we have dozens, and still I buy more.

I started using my 'best' china every day about 18 months ago. It suddenly struck me, 'what am I waiting for?'
Why keep it just for large gatherings. I'm enjoying mine for me now.

I’ve already started and gave 2 enormous tea sets that belonged to my Mum to the charity shop.
I’m going to use my crystal glassware in the garden this summer - if it breaks, it breaks - the DDs have already said they don’t want it, or the huge canteen of Arthur Price cutlery!

I actually use my good china daily, I honestly couldn't see the point of not enjoying it while I am still here!

I can’t remember the last time my good china came out; Christmas before last probably. No formal entertaining these days. The time mine gets downsized will be when I move out of here, either to a smaller house, or a pine box!
