That’s my plan for mine. Into the dishwasher! I am NOT replacing my kitchen dishes with anything new. I’ll use these instead. ? Ann in PA ?

I think my friend wants to get some money for her mother's China. But she'd let it go fi free to a good home I'll bet. I use my China so not ready to get rid of it yet. I use it when we have, if we ever do again. ?and I don't baby it. It goes in the dishwasher. If it dies, it dies. ?

We were young college students when we married. Registries were for people in other circumstances with families and family friends with substantial means, not people like us, not like today's registry which may include gifts at all price points. We selected and purchased our Good Dishes ourselves, years after our wedding. They are stored. Our kids don't want them. Heirloom quality, not old enough to be antiques. Same with our crystal. What on earth were we thinking?

I called the LYS to see if they wanted to add them to their knitting library and the LYSO said 'no'. Her customers are not knitting from books and she has a number from her own library. She said she'd take stitch dictionaries and reference books, but those are not the ones I'm ready to give up.?

I asked the spinning guild President if they had a listing of the books in the guild library so that I could donate them there with no duplication?of titles. But they don't. However, he said that they don't have very many knitting books so it would be a good addition to the library.
