Since I couldn’t send you all a May basket on this first day of May, here are some old ones:
Because my startup disc is nearly full, I don’t have access to any new photos, so I’m reposting some flowers from the past until my problem is fixed. These flowers were made from egg cartons, glue and paint and included in May baskets I took to friends that year. I remember I couldn’t resist eating the caramel in this one, so had to go buy another on the way to my friend’s house to deliver it. The first is a basket made of shredded paper and white glue formed over a custard cup and peeled off when dry. The second is cut out of tissue paper–a pattern shown to me by my mother.
Great gesture Judy. Thanks 🤩

Was just about to say Happy May Day when I noticed we’d switched over to a new day.

How lovely! Are May baskets a tradition in Mexico or is it an American tradition? Not done here in the UK.

No.. not in Mexico. It was a tradition in the little town I grew up in in South Dakota. You’d make May baskets, fill them with candy, and leave them on the doorsteps of your friends.

I loved it… and never knew of anyplace else that it was done, at least in my era.
