Annie plates

What do you do with stuff like this? I'll never want to serve on it, or put it on display. Is it enough to record it for posterity? My mother has saved them for me for decades. Now I have them. But I find them embarrassing. And I feel they will just take up space and be dead weight to move around when I move.

What to do?

Do you save stuff like this done by your kids?

Personally, my mom saved things from my childhood that I have used with my own kids. Even if you are not planning on having kids of your own, you could use them with your neices and nephews or when you have company over that includes children. Kids like seeing things other kids create. I think that the kids would get a kick out of using something that you created when you were a child.

If you really don't have the space, or just don't want them hanging around, then I would choose the one that you like best (or dislike least) and set it aside as a token from childhood then donate the rest to the local thrift shop or church rummage sale.

I think they are lovely plates. Your creativity obviously started while you were young.
