How to describe the Merry, Merry Month of May?  May Day (Beltane) is the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. An ancient festival, especially during medieval times in England and throughout Europe; Beltane has roots in Ancient Rome. It is full of flowers, fun, Maypole and Morris Dancers and the Queen of the May! Once vilified and outlawed as pagan; it saw a revitalization in the commonwealth during Victorian times. In this category you will find items depicting flowers, merriment; May Day memorabilia, the Green Man; poetry and folklore books. Long live May Day!

Disclaimer:  Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
