Anyone else here old enough to remember when we saved string? Buttons?

We don’t save buttons anymore?

I save buttons, and ribbons (not string, unless it is a really long piece).

I remember when USPS packages were wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. This was before there was decent packing tape. Thus the preponderance of pieces of string.
