Happy Valentine’s Day?
Are you going to buy the (especially price-inflated for Valentine’s day) red roses, or the giant card – something cleverly marketed to persuade you to spend more £’s to prove your love for somebody?
It seems that Valentine’s Day is more and more materialistic and commercialised. It’s about what you buy for someone to show your feelings , rather than what you feel. When the Beatles sang “Money can’t buy me love” they didn’t work in a card shop or florist at the begining of February !
It can be a sad day for those who have lost somebody dear to them, a poignant reminder that they are no longer there to exchange cards with.
As we are a charity shop we have no Valentine’s day stock to sell (unless of course any is donated ) sooooooooooooo we thought that filling our shop window with genuine sentiment would be a great idea .
One of our hashtags is #sharingthelove and what better way to share it than a window full of dedicated hearts.
The window is full of hand drawn hearts and Forget-me -nots. For a donation you can choose the names you would like to see written up. Whether for family members, friends or in remembrance we thought it was a NICE THING.
The world needs more NICE THINGS.
To help fill our window with love and to dedicate a heart contact Grange-Over-Sands shop on 015395 32735
