Have a slew of silver serving dishes and pieces, and don't know what to do with them. Any ideas? Thank you

Silver plate or Sterling?

Plate I'd probably donate to Goodwill or charity of choice. Sterling I'd think about for a bit. Silver closed at $22.97 today.

Use 'em! Donate 'em! Polish 'em and put homemade treats in them for holiday gifts!

Or, sensibly, evaluate each and every one of them, see if they're valuable, and decide from there. The Home Decorating forum can tell you where to stick them around your house, the Organizing forum can tell you how to get rid of them without feeling guilty...

Really, do you want to get rid of them or find a way to use them?

They are both sterling and plate, and the main problem is storage. I could use them once in a while, but not every day. Thanks for your help.
