Also people used to take care of their personal treasures so that they would last well past their use-by dates. A good attitude to have in a world that throws away anything that starts to look just a tad 'old/dull' or outdated.

I have some of my mother's personal treasures and really value them. Caring for 'things' is a good trait to still have, and for others to help nurture.
