Greenies and the obsession with baskets

I love doing this post. Thanks to Kassi at Bacwood ferns...
In fact, I was just thinking about it today (although I didn't realize that it was tuesday yet, my brain is slow with the snow and lack of sun).
I was on a walk with Mr. Man and pups (who were in the lead, of course) and I was wishing that I was wearing my greenies (green rubber boots) instead of my faux uggs.
The snow, however beautiful it may be, has gotten a bit slushy and is no good when wearing boots not made of rubber.
So it was that thought that got me thinking about the 'two things I love'...
I was thinking:
"I love my greenies so much,
(I'm not quite sure, but in my head my reanimation voice is a dopey, deep baritone, very weird I think)
I could wear them everyday, but I wish they were just a teensy weensy bit bigger!
('cos I was excited when purchasing them on sale at the end of summer and didn't quite think about winter socks)"
So when we returned to our abode and I went online to check my blog, I saw that Kassi had posted that it was in fact Tuesday and that it was time again for 'Two things I love'...
So yippee!
Here they are!
First is, of course, my beloved greenies...

Here they are, in all their greenie glory!
...
And, second of the two things I love in my home is not actually a single thing...
It is more like an obsession.
I LOVE (love, love, love) baskets...
I have a million.
But, as an herbalist and artist, most of them are in use all the time.
So I will show a snippet of my well loved and used, but organizationally abused fiber arts corner in all its baskety abundance:

And here it begins...
(this is just one on this shelving system)

Here is some more 'organized chaos'...

Same corner, same 'organized chaos', different angle.
So the baskets aren't just one thing, but as a genre, I think they are..
...
And those are 'two things I love... around my house'!
what do you love?
