Flickr Favorites: May Altars and Religious Kitsch

I guess my love affair with altars and shrines started when I

was little. I was raised Catholic and always looked forward

to gathering lily of the valley and setting up our May altar.

I haven't made a May altar in years, 

but plan to do so this year.

As always, I looked to flickr for inspiration.

This is one of my all - time favorite flickr photos

and possibly the best loo ever :)

I LOVE that floral swag draped over the frame!

Want to wear a little Religious kitsch? 

I do, especially if it comes from 
Eclectic Gipsyland

We had a Mary statue in our back yard 
when I was growing up,
but nothing like this Shrine!

Are you making a May Altar? 
Creating something special for Mother's Day?
I'd love to see :)
Happy May 1st!
