In 2020, my life took an unexpected turn when my husband was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. We found ourselves needing to downsize and declutter our home that was filled with treasures collected during our travels. What began as a practical solution soon transformed into a profound mission of giving back. Inspired by our own journey, we started sourcing unique pieces to offer for sale. Thus, the concept of "Giving the Gift of Kindness" was born. We decided to share these vintage items online-marking the inception of Get Busy Living Shops. Recently we opened a physical location at Seneca Cannery in Havre de Grace.For every $50.00 we net, we create a "Sunshine Box" for someone battling cancer. Each box is thoughtfully curated, aiming to bring a ray of light into the lives of cancer warriors. Sadly, the need for "sunshine" remains high, a stark reminder of the prevalence of this disease.
Our mantra, "Get Busy Living," serves as both a rallying cry and a guiding principle. It's a testament to the belief that every day is a gift, an opportunity to embrace life fully and to leave a positive mark on the world.
As we navigate this journey, we're reminded that true fulfillment lies in giving, in making a difference, one Sunshine Box at a time. We are excited to extend our mission with our new Charish Shop to offer our more unique items. We hope that you find something that you love!
