My niece and nephew are in excellent jobs and make good money, yet they still use paper plates for their families’ meals. They want nothing to do with the Spode China sets, and silverware I’m trying to unload with downsizing.
When I was their age, we had and used our sets of China, the Waterford, the silver.
When I got engaged I was 25 and my mother took me for Lenox. It was so exciting back then to go get a china set. Today my kids laugh at me. I too won’t be able to unload my things on them.
