Today, we did a little May Day celebrating.
I put together the needed supplies last night, so when the girls woke up this morning, they could get right to work making their May baskets.
I kept the supplies simple - tin cans, scrapbook and vintage wallpaper papers, ribbons, tags, buttons, and wire.
Once the baskets were completed, we went for a walk through our yard and gathered any and all flowers we could find that were blooming.

Next came the best part - "Ding" and "Dash"!
Although the girls didn't really "Dash", they loved delivering their handmade baskets.

It was a fun day!

Karoline, your little girls are just darling!
I would have loved to be one of your neighbors to receive those lovely May baskets. I think it's wonderful that you keep this tradition alive, I don't know of anyone that actually does this anymore!

What a nice idea for your girls! I must suggest that to my granddaughters. They will always remember doing that with you and it is a lesson in serving others.
