  1. I've never heard of the May Day basket of flowers thing...

    is it a regional tradition?

    I love the idea of it, though, it sounds so sweet and quaint.

    Really you've never heard of it Fern? It is an old tradition. Actually it started as a pagan holiday thing I guess. I remember as a kid making them in school. My grandmother used to wallpaper and I remember making my basket out of the prettiest wallpaper and putting flowers in it.

    Celebrating May Day

    Surprise your neighbor with a special May Day basket and make many other crafts.

    May Day (May 1st) is celebrated in many places around the world. The traditions and stories surrounding May Day vary from place to place. There is, however, one thing that is similar in most celebrations - the use of Flowers!

    One of the most popularly known May Day traditions is to hang a basket full of spring flowers and/or other small gifts on a neighbor's doorknob. The trick is you don't want the neighbor to see you! If you get caught, you are supposed to get a kiss.

  2. Samples, samples and more samples! Here's a couple ideas for you.

    1. Connect with your local Welcome Wagon. Give a free votive or sample size of whatever you do, with card and brochure.

    2. Scope out the engagements in the newspaper. Send a sample favor, brochure and let them know your services.

    3.I generated sales and customers from distributing small May day baskets in my neighborhood.
