We don’t do Hallmark at Spirit Dreams. We do Valentine’s Day though. Come find a gift to give from your heart to the one you love. Come see our cards by local artists along with jewelry and many other locally-crafted gifts.
Here are some tidbits about Valentine’s Day...
The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. Valentine’s Day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines". Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid.
Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards. The sending of Valentines was a fashion in nineteenth-century Great Britain, and, in 1847, Esther Howland developed a successful business in her Worcester, Massachusetts home with hand-made Valentine cards based on British models.
The popularity of Valentine cards in 19th century America, where many Valentine cards are now general greeting cards rather than declarations of love, was a harbinger of the future commercialization of holidays in the United States. It's considered one of the Hallmark holidays.
So shop at Spirit Dreams and skip Hallmark. Celebrate love. Spirit Dreams….the store with a conscience, and heart!
