Oh! The Stories My China Can Tell!

Lots of people have told me that I need to start purging. Geting rid of some of the things I don't use. Well. First of all I do use everything. Not everyday, of course. But there is nothing in my kitchen, or in my china cabinet that I haven't actually used. But I get their point. I don't really need all of these beautiful things. But, you know what? They make me happy. I enjoy them. I enjoy looking at them, using them, thinking about using them. So until I absolutely have to get rid of them, they are staying right where they are. And if I am lucky, my granddaughters may one day press their noses against the glass of my grandmother's china cabinet and dream of having all those sparkly beautiful things in their kitchen.
