My Fictitious Little Shop of Delights.

/ moragnoffke

If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?

In my little shop you would find 
whatever delighted you because, you see my dear friend, 
at the threshold of my door 
stands Empathy, Discernment and Intuition. 
In a magical moment matter materializes 
into whatever you are searching for 
as they quickly know 
exactly what it is your are searching for, 
not the everyday gadget you can get at the home store 
but tantalizing intriguing objects, 
be it books to entertain, 
herbs, berries and spices for healing and health, 
flowers so fragrant you momentarily forget your inner pains, 
ribbons for dancing circles,  
musical instruments for the most compelling melodies, 
rich colored, embossed materials to amplify your existence, 
natural fabrics and yarns for comfortable clothing, 
magical plant dyes to dye tired garments, 
antiques for the heart's memories, 
vintage apparel, 
tasty morsels; 
shall I go on? 
Well these are the things 
I would wish for 
if I was idly sauntering in.

I hope you know this is totally fictitious because in real life running a successful shop is serious business. It is for those who have a mind for commerce. You must first have a vision and know your market well; there’s plenty of administration and you need a business mind so I don’t think I have what it takes.

I had fun playing with this prompt, thank you for reading.

Thank you for reading. Take care and may you find what you love in life.
cheers, Morag

  9. I seemed to have missed the opening date of your shop – would definitely be there – and get a loyalty card.  Beautiful words Morag – your collage is also most impressive xxx
