Hey!  It's Basket Dayz No. 2 - What's in your basket?  Just so you know you don't need to have cutesy-tootsey baskets to link up, I thought I'd show you my laundry basket!


This is one neat-nick thing I picked up from my mother.  She insisted on having precise- looking linen closets when you opened them.  This is how I start with my clean towels... 












First I fold them in half width-wise, then again.








Since my current linen closet is on the narrow side, I then fold the towels in thirds.  When I'm done I get an orderly stack of towels to load into the closet.


So does it look a little, um, fastidious?  Why, yes, all of my closets and cupboards look like this!  Pffft!

Thank you to the ladies who linked up last week:

  11. LOL. I'm pretty anal retentive when it comes to my closets, especially towel folding. I actually hate when the hubby "tries" to help by doing laundry because they have to be folded like you fold yours!

    Stopping by from Sits.

  14. Awhh! Thanks for featuring my lil project last week! I am afraid the only basket I could post this week would be a picture of one going into a moving box! Hopefully I will be back next week with a new one if I can get unpacked in time!

  18. Good Morning Sweetie...
    I am your newest follower. Oh my gosh I adore this longaberger basket. I have never owned one. I would love it. Please enter me into your giveaway.

    Your closet looks so nice and neat. I too, tri-fold my towels, and end up redoing the ones that DH does. He just gives up most of the time. It just gives me more room if they are tri-folded like such. I even reorganzied my Moma's when I was home last. Drove her crazy and she is back to double folding now that I am gone. I tried.

    Such a beautiful blog home sweetie. Please stop by and say hi. I would be so honored if you signed up to follow my blog as well. I love new friends. Country hugs...Sherry
