I donated a lot of household items to a charity resale shop before I moved. I gave some treasures to family, thinking that most of my 'stuff' will end up at an estate sale when I croak. It is true that I have done less fancy cooking and baking since moving down, but some of that could be due to the pandemic. Pack the things you can't live without first, then be practical about the rest before you move. You will find a happy medium, and good luck with your move.
Had the same thoughts...brought four sets of eight. Used them several times a year until the shut down. Hoping to host folks eating at our table/card tables again. If you love that kind of stuff, bring some of it. (and invite me over, most of the time I am the hostess...lol)
