If I had a shop...
in the run up to Christmas it would look like this!
All paws and feet would be welcome into my little twinkly lit shop, full of thoughtful gifts for those closest to you. There would be a little basket of squeaky balls, and bone shaped toys, and when you open the door to enter, the warm air and cinnamon scent would welcome you inside. There would be gentle piano music in the background, and a calming atmosphere that I hope would make it a place you would enjoy spending some time in.
I don’t have a physical shop of course, but I spent such an enjoyable few hours drawing out what I imagine it would be like! It’s now the image on the website that welcomes you into my virtual Christmas shop, and although I know this point in October is considered early by many to even mention the festive season, for those of us working in this online space, and planning around postal and delivery systems, I have been working towards it for quite a while. So I hope you won’t mind me letting you know that the Christmas shop is now open, and even if it’s too soon to browse, I hope you might enjoy taking a look at a later stage.
Wishing you well,
Deborah x
ps I am very appreciative to have my work stocked in some actual physical shops! I’m currently working on a page for the site which will list them, but in the meantime, if you would like to know if there’s one near you, just drop a line to me at hello@deborahmaguire.ie
