Recuperation journey: Sentimental value or no longer needed?

Going through someone else's treasures collected over a lifetime can pose a dilemma, I've learned.
Especially when the person is one's own late mother.  

I now face a new project after we cleaned out a storage unit Saturday that contained her household items, photographs, and other memorabilia. 

There's a glass plate with scenes of Niagara Falls on it, a small Toby jug featuring the likeness of Old King Cole, trays for entertaining, candlesticks, record albums, and more. 
And I've only started to make my way through the boxes. 

It's going to take a while, I imagine. 
Stay tuned if you're interested in old stuff. I'll post more photos as I go along.
