<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Iconodule, post: 11746242, member: 91417&quot;]It is very hard to know what to do with personal family mementos for which you have no room. I am trying to decide what to do with those I inherited. Among these are clothing from various family members, album of very old photos (family by marriage, only a few identified), and a scrapebook of baby announcements, shower cards, and sympathy cards for a cousin who died at birth. (Her parents had no other children.) (That last hit me hard.) I can offer them to other cousins, but they also are trying to figure out what to do with their own &amp;&nbsp; inherited belongings.&nbsp; I plan to ask a town historical society if they would like some (particularly the old photo album).&nbsp; I have read somewhere that theatre groups sometimes accept vintage clothing for costuming period plays, but do not think most would be appropriate for that purpose (uncle&#039;s christening robe, dress of an aunt who died c.1920s at very young age). I cannot imagine throwing them out, but have no idea what to do with them. Just keep them until the next generation--who has no sentimental attachment--discards or donates? Any ideas?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
