Here is a blog I always really enjoy:
Margo Takacs Marshall says those family treasures that you take out of a drawer once a year to enjoy which no one else in the family appreciates, will probably end up in the landfill after you go.
Why not arrange them in a display or turn them into a quilt and explain (with the label) just what they mean to you, so your family will appreciate them after you're gone?
She did this, with her collection of hankies - even did a beautiful book on her 'one hanky quilts' .
But her point is that you can do the same with you or your grandmother's doilies, buttons, photographs, whatever.
Recycle, reuse - revalue is her motto.
