How many plates, bowls, glasses and serving bowls does one person need? It depends on how much you entertain. I don’t entertain very often so when I went through my inventory of dishes and serving bowls I had an abundant supply of stuff I didn’t need. Mismatched and gathering dust.
Here’s the key – What do I find myself using all the time? What do I use when I entertain? For example: Even if I don’t entertain all the time I know I will need a good sized platter for turkey or appetizers when I do choose to entertain.
And do I need all of those sets of wine glasses, martini glasses etc. or would a few glasses do when company does come over? I kept a set of wine glasses and two martini glasses.
My purpose is to downsize and free up space in my mind and environment to lift the load of too much stuff.

A friend lost her 98-year-old mother yesterday. Her husband died when he was in his 50’s and at long last they are together again dancing in heaven together. Last week my best friend lost her brother who was 59 years old. He was talking on the phone and then he just fell over and died. Another life gone.
