It looks like a wonderful tradition! Those baskets are darn cute and I love bees anyway. I told you I wished I lived next door because see...I might have gotten a May Basket from you. You might have gotten one from me the next year maybe...LOL!<br />Have fun! There's only 2 days left...not sure I can make it in time but there is one couple I would like to do that for.

I remember hearing them called that...making a trip over to the five and dime.<br />These are so very cute! I didn't realize kissing was also involved in this May basket thing. I really missed out. ;) Did you ever do a May pole? We did that at school with crepe paper streamers. Seemed a waste of crepe paper to me. I must not have had the proper May holiday spirit. But I love that you all have this tradition!! :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-84457833205942530302012-04-27T13:50:27.103-05:002012-04-27T13:50:27.103-05:00I don't think I ever made May baskets in schoo...I don't think I ever made May baskets in school even...

Call it that for old time's sake--and to prove that it once, indeed, was possible to buy something for such a small price.<br /><br />We can't even call it the <b>dollar</b> store, now!<br /><br />The May baskets are a nice idea. I remember when my daughter was young, her art teacher introduced that idea to her class. She had loads of fun delivering flowers--and never getting caught! ...although she wouldn't have minded a hug and a kiss! :)Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-60788544387750744592012-04-27T11:55:12.471-05:002012-04-27T11:55:12.471-05:00What a lovely tradition.
