Many years ago
In a gallery in Bond street or close by, cant recall now. The sloaney brought out a very aged painting probably 16th century. I was just a walk in, she was being silly. It too was primitive. Price tag was £500k in case your wondering. How it survived the bin man I have no idea. I can imagine the gallery picking it up for a couple of quid just because it was yonks old.
I guess the pictures fate is upto who ever finds it.

Doesn’t that make me... being ungrateful? I think you may be right and sometimes you do have to remove yourself from sentimentality into reality.

Re: Keepsakes When Someone Dies...
Art it's your choice what to do with the boots and not one that should make you feel guilty .Personally I would bin the boots.
Being a minimalist I don't really have 'keepsakes' .That said I have a black silk shawl that belonged to my paternal Grandmother whom I never met (coincidently she died the same week as my Mother ) and I kept all my husbands letters to me and his service medals .
I have always longed to have some small thing that belonged to my Mother but wasn't able to.

What If l do chuck them and she haunts me? I have put the boots in the garage as l have enough junk in this house without any more!
I bet l end up tripping over them, breaking my neck and ending up with her!
I do have little things that were from my mother’s house that l associate with her.
