A Forgotten Tradition: May Basket Day@!

I can remember being a little girl with my older sister going to picking wild flowers and making paper cone shaped baskets and attaching ribbon as the handle. We'd filling them with flowers and putting them on all of our neighbours doors in ringing their doorbell and running away! 😅😆

It is really a wonderful tradition. I wish it wouldn't have died out.

For any of you , were you lucky enough to celebrate that tradition?

My photo shws off the last time I passed out the baskets, at work with the ladies in my department. They just loved them! 🙂
