OK, so I was totally overwhelmed and left my house with everything spread out on the counters and the tables (two big ones - one in the kitchen, one in the dining room).
I ran the errands I should have done yesterday (but my keys were in my purse that was locked in the car 
) and I returned with a clearer head.
I have two sets of china: one we use at Easter, the other we use at Christmas. I love both of them and decided to do away with anything colored class that didn't match (like some odd blue glass ones and an amber platter). I also did away with a pair of candle holders that I decided I don't like. In the far cabinet up top, I put the obvious Easter things (peep chick and bunny salt & pepper shakers and some egg cups) and the ceramic birthday plates we use (for the birthday person). I also got rid of some plastic (glass looking) bowls my MIL gave me to put her salads in when she came (they just didn't hold up too well). I've consolidated the tupperware, too, and am hoping to move to glass storage (hearing too much about the chemicals in plastic).
If I could photograph my progress, you'd be proud. And the things of sentimental value I've moved to the china closet. Must keep going, must keep going. Hoping that the decluttering bug carries me through some major projects 
Glassware update; making progress :)
