 Why May Baskets?
When I was a young girl, on May 1, we made May Baskets out of milk cartons and pipe cleaners, filled them with small flowers and candy, and left them on the doors of our friends. In Europe, where the traditions celebrating May Day began centuries ago, many said traditions live on today. May Baskets are an American tradition, which has not lived on, sadly. My Garden Club recently made May Baskets (pictured above), and today it made my day to secretly leave them on the doors of my good friends. As expected, a few who caught me in the act, or suspected I was the giver, have sent messages thanking me and letting me know of the joy they brought. Why May Baskets? They bring JOY!

May baskets are all wonderful. If you're into flower arranging and you have this very delicate hands when it comes to flowers, this one might be for you. Of course, it's going to require you a lot of challengers because being creative is a must. But off you believe that you ca do it, then eventually it will happen. You need to take care of the flowers because that's the main purpose why you're making a may basket. Please always be after the looks of your flowers. Leave a Reply. |
