hey there everyone! wishing you all a...
a sometimes forgotten celebration that occurs on...
may day is an astronomical holiday, one of the year’s four cross-quarter days. or day that falls more or less midway between an equinox and solstice – in this case the march equinox and june solstice. {ok...i'm sure you're thinking WHAT is she talking 'bout? well...that little factoid is compliments of earthsky.org....not my usual lingo but seemed easier than me rambling on about the origins. not that i'm not rambling currently!}
nowadays it is a good reason to justify a sweet treat. personal fav of mine.. salt water taffy....
and the use of flowers is considered to be another form of may day expression...my baskets will house seed packets {below} to point the recipients in that direction.
so the goods came together in my paper sacs {HOW2 make these was my last post if you recall!} with the addition of a candy swizzle and sprig of fern...add in a little shredded paper + a stamp detail & doorknobs are suddenly looking much more lively in our home!
and since i can't possibly eat another piece of taffy. {well...maybe ONE more...} i best get these cuties to their destination. because MAY day is slipping by @ a quick rate! but i guess there are 30 more "may days" if you want to catch me on a technicality! that means i really should make another trip to the candy store just to be stocked and ready!
happy {MAY} day to you all!
