Queen Silvia bought this year's first majblomman (mayflower) digitally from Elin Eisele who is 13 years old. A sure sign of spring since 1907 is the sale of majblomman, which provides financial support to children living in financial vulnerability. According to that tradition, the Queen buys the first majblomman of the year from children who come to the Royal Palace, but this year the event took place completely digitally.
Elin Eisele is the name of the designer behind the flower sold this year. It was also Elin who got the opportunity to sell this year's first majblomman to the Queen, via her digital flower shop. Majblomman (mayflower) is a nonprofit organization aiming to decrease the impact of child poverty in Sweden. The acitivities of the organization is financed by thousands of children that sell “majblomman” – a small flower pin – each year in April.
Beautiful Queen Silvia never outshines her patronage, so natural and caring!
ReplyDeleteComme j'avais pu le remarquer précédemment, la reine porte un large pull très facile à enfiler mais il est évident que c'est beaucoup mieux pour s'habiller sans avoir trop besoin de l'aide de quelqu'un ; je suppose qu'elle doit avoir des séances de rééducation - Bonne guérison à elle !
ReplyDeleteLovely and prompt full recovery to the queen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a touching way to do it digitally, with the pin and card (which are both beautiful). Agree with the comment above about how she highlights the cause, not outshines it.

Queen Silvia looks lovely in the white sweater, and it's the perfect backdrop for the floral pin. I hope the program realizes a great profit to benefit the children.
ReplyDeleteI hope that Silvia's damage to the arm is not worse than what has been said in the media. It's now 2 months since it occurred. - In the second picture you catch a glimpse of her face from the 70's with a young smile. I wish her well. - Ellie
ReplyDeleteThge Queen is still wearing the 'easy to get into' sweater, I hope she is healing well and wish her well. jil
ReplyDeleteNever outshining the occasion, it’s always been about the causes she supports, not about her. Could serve as a model to other royals.
