My May baskets are nothing compared to Connie, of Far side of Fifty, who challenged us to make at least one May basket.
My "baskets" are just small drink cups with a construction paper handle and an origami paper lining, nothing fancy. They held a dollar's worth of change and some Hershey's Miniatures, which went into the kids' lunch boxes. And flowers, of course, a few sprigs of Forget Me Nots and Lily of the Valley, which I foraged from the yard way early this morning.
Now that the kids have been delivered to their schools, we can slow down to our usual morning pace.
Have a great day! It's the first of May!
Happy May Day! I love your baskets and Connie did suggest we try making some. I bet the kids were surprised.
ReplyDeleteHappy May first to you too.
ReplyDeleteAt least you made a kind of May basket which is more than I did.
You had fun is the main thing and I'm sure the grand kids were happy.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Connie is making a difference far and wide with her challenges. :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah! Happy May Day so glad to see you made some baskets! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy May Day. Cute baskets. How can you go wrong with money and sweets. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHappy May Day! What a fun tradition.
ReplyDeleteOh May Day---such good memories. As children we mad Tussie Mussies and loved our little baskets and put them on the neighbors porches. Also we walked to school and (don't tell) we picked flowers out of neighbors yards and gave them to our teachers. This was in grade school

what a thoughtful grandma...
ReplyDeleteYour little baskets are perfect! I had never heard of May baskets until Far Side posted about them.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's already May! I love your little baskets and I'll bet the grands did too.
ReplyDeleteI finished all my 20 posts about the Europe trip, and now I have to work on the album before our daughter, granddaughter and son-in-law arrive to spend summer with us.
