Boys are really odd birds, I bet he would "love to have it", but would at the same time feel sad that the dish wasn't where it was supposed to be. |

offer it to her.
I also loved ceramics around that time. I made the turkey and pumpkin
candy dish. I never saw the bunny. I love it. |

I agree with holding on to it for now. It also depends on the DIL. My MIL is just now turning loose of treasured family heirlooms, because she knows I appreciate the sentimental value and I also collect antiques. I treasure the pieces that belonged to my and DH parents, grandparents and I also have a few things that belonged to great grandparents. They mean so much more to me than just a collection.
