May Day Surprise


May Day Surprise, originally uploaded by Papillon Sky.

This was left at our door by our May Day fairy (I know who it is though). There's a sweet little wooden elf in there that gave it away. :) There were also some pixy stix--how appropriate.
More ideas for May Day can be found at my friend Chris's website:

Here's the sweet poem that accompanied our basket:
Once there was a woodland elf
who said to himself
It's the 1st day of May
What shall I do?
Why I'll bring fresh flowers for you.

And when they're done, a seed or two.
For summer
Flowers to see you through.

Happy May Day!

This was hanging on our door this morning from our May Day Fairy. Some friends and I drew names and are secretly leaving May Day baskets at each other's doors.

Happy May Day to you!!
