If that is how you live, you will continue to live that way. If you don't, no one cares. It is just for me. I like a pretty table. I make no excuses. I do not expect or want it from friends when we go out. Paper plates are great. These are things I enjoy, and sometimes I use paper plates too.
Don't be too quick to get rid of it all if you used it quite a bit before your move here.
Just be yourself. Everyone will love you and if it makes you happy, bring it.

As we're going through years of accumulation, I found this post to touch a nerve. I just pulled the Christmas set of dishes out of the "to go" pile.
Thank you. If I change my mind, I can always donate, but once they're gone, all I'll have are the memories.
