“A tisket, a tasket, what the *#€< do I do with all of these baskets?”

If you’re like me, you collect things that are of interest to you. Confession time: I love little Japanese characters, glass bottles, and baskets. It’s a thing, and Marie Kondo would have a seizure, but I do gather these things and then have no idea how to utilize them.


Baskets usually fall under the category of wood, as they are made of natural materials of plants, just like tree wood or bamboo.


Wood is the predominant element of the East and Southeast, so wood is good in those sectors. This year, wood is also a good element to add to the Northwest sector, Helpful People and Travel, as the #9 star occupies the Northwest this year, and to enhance this auspicious star, wood is good, and a great place for those baskets!
