Here is our Mary Altar set above our large fireplace in the Living Room. The china placque behind the carnations is from Italy and part of my dh's mother's estate. We will be adding little touches to this altar all month long!
And here is our "touch-and-feel" altar for the littles!! The small basket below has our Good Shepherd materials and some bible board books. Here is the wall above:
These are the Our Lady, Star of the Sea crafts we made before our big move!! We're still looking for our crucifix, St. Anthony, Pray for us!!
I also put together this little activity for my younger two to honor Our Lady with roses:
Happy May, blessings on your day!
Oh, Meredith, it is all so lovely! I love the idea of having a smaller "touch-and-feel" altar for the children. I hope you don't mind if I borrow it! :)
A Blessed May to you, my friend!

How lovely Meredith. I, too, love your "touch & feel" altar and may have to borrow it as well.

Meredith,
You'll have a to get a close up shot of those Star of the Sea crafts... I'd love to see the details.
Thanks for a beautiful "place" here.

Your house certainly reflects your love of Mary. What wonderful displays for her special month.
