Since you only have about 9 plates then display them on a shelf or see if you can find one to put them on. That is not a bad size collection. Maybe depending on the location/theme of the plate in different rooms. Or your sewing room. REmember the dress made out of drapery?
If you have a "RESTORE" shop (HABITAT FOR HUMANITY") see if they would take your donation. The money they make goes straight back into the homes.

In 16 years I have never displayed these plates and probably never will. There is a sentimental connection plus that is about $300 worth of plates. If I knew someone who would really like and use them I'd happily give them away. I just can't box them up and drop them off at Goodwill.
