A black dog, a great cause and vintage giveaway...

 
 An awesome  blogger http://www.norafinds.com has decided to organise a giveaway for a great cause that is close to my heart :
 
 Mental health and depression awareness
 
She is asking vintage dealers/ shops to contribute to a ' care package' for a giveaway to raise awareness on mental health and depression next month.
 
I am contributing a couple of items from my shop to help out.

Keeping with the cherry theme - headscarf & cherry pin
 
Check out her facebook page to get in contact with her and help out:
 
 
She is also has a cool vintage blog!

So if you or anybody you know wants too or can contribute any vintage items, big, small or handmade  to this great cause, it would be  fantastic!
 
 Especially for such a cause that is still not receiving the recognition in our society, as a serious illness.  
 
And i totally believe that it   IS an illness and should be treated so.... I have experienced someone very close to my heart being chased by this  black dog and succumbing to it in the end... I understand the brutality and destruction of mental illness on someone and the effect it has on the people close to them.
 
So jump on board and lets shine a spotlight into this illness and give someone hope and reassurance that there is help out there and it is OK to ask for help! Because everyone deserves to lead a happy and fulfilling life :)
