Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s).I'm going through my grandmother's china. I spent a fortune sending one complete set to my cousin, she said she wanted it but then wasn't very appreciative. Now that I see what it costs to ship, I'm reluctant to ship again.

For some reason my grandmother also collected pieces from all different sets. I think originally there were a tea cup, a saucer, and a dessert plate of the same set. If we call those three pieces a "mini set" she had maybe 20 different mini-sets. All different china brands and patterns. 20! But some are missing a saucer or the cup. They are beautiful, if I was having a shabby chic tea party, but that will never happen. I washed them and laid them all out on the dining room table. Now I'm totally at a loss for what to do with them. They feel too valuable to donate, and too difficult to sell. I'm stuck! Help!
