Happy May Day!

Happy May Day! We just adore this sweet day and are so happy that it was such a beautiful May Day today, too! Sadly, we did not get a chance to deliver flowers as we usually do as there was just too much to do today, but we plan to do belated May Day deliveries soon! xo

Happy May Day!

 Though today started out chilly, grey and rainy again, it ended sunny, warm and perfectly May! Happy May Day, friends! Wishing you a month full of the loveliness of spring! xo

Happy May Day, dear friends! If you have been reading our blog for any length of time then you already know how much we adore this lovely holiday! It's full of some of our most favorite traditions! From choosing paper and ribbon and flowers for the May Day bouquets for the girls, to making May Baskets to surprise friends and neighbors with, we just love everything about this sweet holiday! Spreading kindness and love it our favorite thing to do (along with bringing old fashioned traditions back)! I found myself wondering today if they will ever outgrow celebrating May Day. Somehow I don't think they will!

Wishing you all a wonderful May Day! May it be one full of love, kindness and little surprises! xo

{This Moment} A Friday ritual. A single photo -no words- capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you are inspired to do the same leave a link to your moment in the comments section for all to find and see. We wish you a lovely Mother's Day weekend! xo

Song On May Morning
Now the bright morning star, day's harbinger

Comes dancing from the east, and leads with her

The flow'ry May, who from her green lap throws

The yellow cowslip and the pale primrose.
Hail, bounteous May, thou dost inspire

Mirth and youth and warm desire!
Woods and groves are of thy dressing, 

Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing.
Thus we salute thee with our early song,
And welcome theem and wish thee long. 

-John Milton

Happy May Day!

May Day has become one of our most favorite holidays! There is just something so sweet about the tradition of leaving May Day baskets for our neighbors and friends to discover! The girls love running around the neighborhood and heading to friends houses in town to leave these sweet flowers and notes celebrating the first day of May! 

The other May Day tradition we have is to leave the girls May Day baskets to discover in the morning. I made the cones last night (and was super proud of how they came out this year) and prepared the flowers so they would remain fresh for the morning. With the flowers now put in water the cones now hang at the end of each of their beds. We hope you all had a wonderful first day of May! Happy May Day, dear friends! xo
