'I'm spreading Christmas cheer across Shropshire one window at a time in people's homes, pubs and a dog grooming parlour'
Lucy Wight is spreading Christmas cheer one window at a time. Since the beginning of November she has been busy painting winter scenes at homes and businesses across Shropshire and beyond.
Over the past few weeks, her creative skills have been in huge demand as the countdown to Christmas gets under way.
From pubs and shops to dog grooming parlours and beauty salons, they’ve all been given a festive transformation.
“I was just doing my own windows and a few of my family and friends said they liked it and asked if I could do theirs.
“This year it has snowballed. I can’t believe how much it has taken off. It’s all through word of mouth,” says Lucy, who lives with her son in Telford.
The 43-year-old mostly paints windows during the evenings and at weekends. “I absolutely love it, it’s all on top of my full-time job,” she explains.
Among the wide variety of local businesses that have hired Lucy to transform their windows are The Fox & Hounds at Shawbury; EL Beauty & Therapy in Admaston; Sofa Outlet in Market Drayton; Key Angels Estate Agents in Shifnal; and Abbey Foregate Post Office in Shrewsbury.
Her designs have featured everything from Christmas trees, baubles and holly to Santa, reindeer and penguins.
