- Interestingly enough -- when my parents died (when I was a very young woman), I inherited my Mother's Kitchen items -- that included depression era glassware, porcelain pieces, teapots, silver, and a lot of things -- including cooking appliances that STILL work to this date (I have everything from Juicers (hand use -- no electric then) to beautiful and ornate crystal/glassware and the vases -- oh, they are so pretty). Over the ensuing years -- things were broken (deliberately by my ex from a short disaster of a marriage -- and by my (now) young adult children (who were making wrong choices and decided to hurt me in the worst possible way by destroying the precious memories and rembrances I had from my mother -- their grandmother -- who died years before they were born), and were stolen from my shipments (by various movers/storage companies) when I was frequently transferred between duty stations while I served during my Military Career. HOWEVER, there is still a lot here -- and I've carefully put them away .. protected, cared for, and ... most importantly - the ones that I definitely saw my mother use more often are the pieces that I have out to look at and cherish myself! (for example -- right now I am looking at a wonderfully hand-painted porcelain teapot -- so beautiful - and I remember my mother using it as a centerpiece for her guests). I've added to the collection over the years of my life too. ALL my appliances work (I have everything from working early crock pots to recent ones -- stand mixers and hand mixers -- a mix of electric and hand cranked appliances)!
