She didn't want it or have room for it so it was mine. About a year later she mentioned that I had the china and would probably let a cousin who was moving into a new apartment have it. I said oh DH said it was ugly so I sold it to an antique shop and bought the living room rug I wanted. LOLOLOLOL actually I donated it to Salvation Army.
All I can say is....I am appalled. Please if you don't want things given to you then say so upfront. It is the epitome of rudeness! I am a very sentimental person. I could not imagine sharing a family treasure with someone who would immediately turn around and trash it. Then you lied about it and think its funny? I would much rather the person be up front and honest with me and tell me they have no desire for it and then I could find someone who did. I just don't get it!
