i have some treasured scraps from my grandmother- from the 40's-50's...sometimes i use a bit of one of them- but i do treasure/protect them and find it hard sometimes to use one that is becoming (scarce)...one i only have about a 3" square left of...(right on the edge of being a hoarder!)
I tell myself i have them to use---when the time is right & have used them many times...but boy- when it gets down to that last little bit- it's hard...
