Happy May 1!

Lily of the valley sprig


French tradition holds that giving people lily of the valley on May 1 brings luck/happiness. (Which is why the text in the picture says "Je porte bonheur".)

How lovely!

I can never smell Lily of the Valley without thinking of my favourite one of my formidable Great Aunts who wore it as a perfume.
