A toast to us ladies! Let us be May Queens! Lol…Below: crowning the May Queen with garlands by Randolph Caldecott, an excerpt from Tennyson’s ‘The May Queen,’ & a design for an 1897 New Orleans May Day parade float 🥰🌸🍃
You never know what magical, good things are in store for you. I hope you all have a fun & relaxing evening. Night, guys 💙✨

On May 1st, it’s maypole time. An old European tradition cheering the midpoint between the spring & summer solstice, the joy of warm weather, & agrarian hope —bliss was had with festive fun & flirting. Puritans loathed the unbridled joy, which made it more fun 😉 #SuperstitionSat
Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't
eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's
a sin to kill a mockingbird.

In the 1800s, when famine was more common, a magic house made of gingerbread, candy, & cake would have ignited the imagination of any child & did. In 1812, the Grimms’ Hansel & Gretel drew from old tellers & ancient myths to create a sweet but scary story 🍭🍰#FairytaleTuesday
A magical nook & workspace if ever I saw one. Anton Pieck had such an enchanting touch. Have a cozy night all you lovely people. Night, guys 💛🌝
