Do you 'save things for best'?

[landylass]

I used to but not know. Last month our daughter got married and I passed onto her a linen tablecloth my mother-in-law made for our wedding. Beautiful pulled thread and embroidery work. I was always scared to use it in case it got stained. I am embarrassed to say my mother-in-law died 4 years ago and I dont think she ever saw it on our table. So I passed it onto our daughter and told her to use it. If it gets stained they will remember what caused it and the friends they might have had dining with them. As for the rest of our junk, best or not, I use it now or donate.
