I can relate to the above. When I married I moved into my husband's apt--all he had was melamac dishes--(I'm sure we all remember those). I wanted some "glass" dishes. Told my mother-in-law and next thing I knew I was receiving china place settings for every birthday, etc. I think I used it once on an anniversary (in 44 yrs). Mine is boxed up--in attic--awaiting my granddaughter's marriage!!! House here in TV that we bought was completely furnished--right down to the dishes, silverware, etc. Been here for almost 2 yrs--still boxes in attic I brought that I haven't gone through. I do have one box of memorabilia that I could not part with---boxed it up with a note in it that who ever was responsible could dispose of it after I'm "gone." Just could not bring myself to do it. Good luck--whatever you decide to do will be right--and enjoy your new home.
