I don't know about you, but I am certainly ready to start thinking about spring! I've had some inquiries about my annual May Basket swap and after being inspired by these fabulous woodland vignettes at my favorite local nursery, I have decided to host it again!
If you're new to this swap, check out my May Day posts through the years here , here , here and here. Also this post and the amazing May Basket flickr pool with several years contributions and has loads of inspiration.
Here are the details: The May Basket swap originated from the idea of making a fun little basket full of spring goodies and placing on a neighbors doorstep on the first of May. Since for this swap the baskets will be mailed, you will want to choose your contents wisely. Fill your basket with spring goodies of any sort, vintage inspired it always nice. Since you can't send real flowers think silk flowers, velvet leaves, millinery flowers, birds, butterflies....whatever makes you smile:) When you get your swap partner you may want to email them and see what kind of color combinations and/or style that they would like. This swap can be interpreted in a number of ways. Some people like to have an additional theme, like supplies, handmade, vintage or a color combination that they love. Be sure and discuss these things with your partner. I would say the estimated value of the basket and contents before shipping should be about $20-25.
If you know that you can meet the
mail out deadline of April 15thand you are ready to commit to this swap, leave a comment on this post with your email address and if you are willing to mail internationally. I will confirm you are in the swap via email and you are not registered until you receive a confirmation email from me.
I will take sign-ups up to Sunday March 20th. Baskets need to be sent out (Priority mail) by April 15th to give enough time to get to your partner by May 1st!!! **Both bloggers and blog readers can join. This swap is open to US players only due to high price of shipping overseas. **
