I always ask my kids, if there is anything they want, when I have a box of charity stuff. I give decent stuff to our 'shop', but if it might be sentimental, family gets first dibs.
So glad you rescued it...I bet you could hear, Auntie, sigh with relief, and the angels smiled at each other :D
in our family anything, ANYTHING, that's passed around or passed down that comes from a family member, before it's disposed of, i get "first rights of refusal". then if none of the kids wants it, and i don't want it, it can go. dishes, furniture, linens, whatever. i get the last vote. or else the poop hits the fan!
