I too am working to really pare down my belongings before I move, hopefully in the fall, to TV. One way I have chose to deal with family heirlooms is look where the item has been residing for the last x number of years. If its been hidden in a closet or drawer or behind stuff this is actually being used and enjoyed then it goes. If I haven;t looked at, used or enjoyed something in a long time than I have determined even if it once belonged to great aunt Mabel or even my mom then I don't need it so I will find someone else who does. One thing I know is it won't be my kids. They already have all they want and they aren't interested in collecting stuff that once belonged to someone they never knew.
