The Coming of May
May opened up her basket,
And I looked in to see
A sky of blue,
The great sun too,
Both smiling out at me.
Both smiling out at me.
May opened up her basket,
And out the flowers fell.
And out the flowers fell.
Their fragrance spilled
Until it filled
All nature with its spell.
May opened up her basket,
Her choristers were there!
Their welcoming
To joy and spring
Was wafted on the air.
She opened up her basket-
The world was blithely gay.
Earth knew again
The ample regin
And blessing of the May!
May Day has arrived and the May basket swap is complete. I posted the baskets that I swapped out on this post. Today I wanted to share with you the fabulous baskets I received from my friends. My first package is from SugarJen. She makes the most amazing hand dyed creations and sells them in her etsy shop. I was lucky enough to get a whole basket of her goodies.
Wow, endless supplies for projects and so much eye candy. Thanks Jen!!
Won't this basket be perfect for picnics? Such a fun package. Thanks, Valarie!
Finally, this wonderful handmade fiber cornucopia basket from Sandi.
She filled it with fun personalized goodies for myself and my kids. So thoughtful. Thanks so much, Sandi!
I hope you all have a fabulous May Day and maybe even a little surprise at your doorstep!

I don't have a may basket to share but I did enjoy looking at them. How fun!!!
Goodness! I am new to this lovely land of swaps and simply divine blogs, but, I had no idea you did such fun like this. My girlfriends and I, around town, do "Faery Mischief" with the same concept, surprises, kindnesses, etc.
I would love to be part of something like this next MayDay! Blessings to you dear.
What a great basket of goodies!
Kari you received such treasures!! I love it all.. and the Dreams doll brought a smile to my face!
What lovely surprises. All of it makes me smile just looking at it!!! Happy May Day... :>)
I love the sweet color in these photos! :)
So many sweet and cheery goodies! Don't they just make your heart sing? They do mine, and that's from a distance :)
Happy May Day, Sweetie!
