May Basket Smiles

Teddy was the first to get his May Basket…just a few days early cause that is when his parents brought him by.

I got my first ever May Basket yesterday. The local school second graders went around the neighborhood and placed a basket on everyones door. I startled my "giver" when I opened the door. I then had to wave at all the kids and their teachers and shout Happy May Day as they paraded by the house. It sure made my day.

I didn't get any May baskets done this year, but because of you I've done it twice now, and although I've never received one, I did enjoy making them and putting them on doorknobs. Nobody ever said anything and probably don't know who did it. :-)

The children are all precious. When my children were small I would receive little may baskets filled with violets. Wonderful memories!

Nancy said...

Love all the smiles! I hope you got lots of hugs!

They really appreciated the baskets. It is nice to have a giving holiday that is not over done. Cute neighbors.

The kids are all so cute. I bet they loved the May baskets. I haven't made or gotten a May basket for years. Maybe I'll have to start the tradition again next year.

Adorable children. Nope, no May basket yet. Good I idea to start tradition in my neighborhood next year. Cheers!!

So sweet, you are so kind and thoughtful, Francine.

Unfortunately, no. If someone hung a May basket on my doorknob, it probably would have melted...or wilted. But I would have preferred melted. Chocolate would be a nice addition right now ;)

Happy belated May day to you! And thanks for sending these virtual May Baskets to everyone! You brighten up a whole lot of days with your pics.

And YAY for no snow!!!!!!!!!

I can see why May day is your favorite day of the year. You brought a lot of joy and happiness to people. Your photos show how happy the kids were.

You are the only person I know who does May baskets. One day I might like to try.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for sharing all the Happy Smiles. ♥

I did not give or receive May baskets, so I really appreciate seeing what you did and who your recipients are! What fun to bring joy to kids!

How sweet! I haven't ever heard of May baskets. I do Valentines, Easter, and Halloween baskets or bags for my grands...they would probably love to have May baskets too- I will have to read more about it. I do know about May day, but not much. Looks like your baskets were a huge hit!

Rita said...

Have never done May baskets (except when they had us make them for art class in grade school--lol!), but I always enjoy it vicariously through you now. The kids look so happy!! And Chance got worn out playing, too. Win-win. :)

Those smiles say it all!
