We are cleaning the bedroom and bathroom today. On the bed are two large baskets -- both wicker. I grew up with plastic laundry baskets. Now -- I only purchase wicker baskets. Oh, sure, I still have 2 plastic ones -- one was a gift, one was rescued from bulk trash -- but the baskets I purchase (second hand, usually,) are wicker.

A decade ago I didn't have a clue what "organic" means as currently used. I noticed that there was now a small selection of "organic" produce in the supermarket -- veges are veges! I thought -- and the organic ones were more expensive. (My frugal side always comes out when shopping.) I have learned a great deal in the ensuing decade.
