Bonne Fête du Travail!

  Convallaria majalis
May Day in France is celebrated by giving loved ones a bouquet of Lily of the Valley for good luck!

How perfectly fitting it is also the birth flower for the month of May.

I remember how Coty had a perfume which was only available in the Spring - Muguet des bois.  Oh, how I loved the scent!  It smelled just like lilies of the valley!  The drug store I worked at carried it.  I used my employee discount - 20%, and it was still a coveted luxury for a teenage girl.  I was able to afford the push-up solid stick.  The spray, was aspirational.
Too late for my birthday, too early for Christmas present
I tried to make it last until the next year, but I loved it too much!
