Onto the next chapter. ❤️Hearts 4 Heroes Thrifty Boutique has sadly closed its doors in Parrish, but the good news is that the store will be opening in Punta Gorda where My Warriors Place is located. Target date to open is August 1. Follow this page for updates.
It has been a true honor and pleasure for the wonderful team of volunteers and I to serve you, chat with you, and spend thrifting time together. As I mentioned before, friends became customers and customers became friends. Our little store had a special magic to it because of those who helped, those who donated, those who shopped and those that benefitted from the proceeds of the store. There are so many stories to share.
I will personally miss working there and meeting so many nice and friendly people. I’ll miss the camaraderie of our volunteers. The lemongrass essential oil smell of the store. Listening to the great Yacht Rock Radio for hours.
So many customers would stop in after getting their nails done at Accent Nails or after their hair appointment or their appointment with Brian at the Allstate Insurance or after their coffee at Ryan’s or if they were on the waitlist at Butterfields. We seemed to fit in so nicely. Everyone loved our little store. So much so that you voted us Number One thrift store in Parrish. But our fate was not determined by you - it was in the hands of one person who we couldn’t convince or prove our worth and value to. But that’s life. There are curve balls thrown at us every day. It’s how we react and rebound that matters. We aren’t bitter although we have all gone through the ups and downs and emotions of grief. We will move on and the store will have a new life down south. We will always cherish the laughs and the love that the store brought for so many of us. Five years of greatness. It’s been a wonderful ride.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 💕. Until we meet again …. Be safe, be well, be blessed and keep doing good things.
With love,
Jeanette
