Christmas with Drew Barrymore – Brown Betty Blue

Christmas with Drew Barrymore

 

Have you ever had a moment where you felt like all your hard work was finally paying off? Well, that's exactly how I felt when Drew Barrymore selected one of my Christmas Stockings as one of her chosen festive items. Imagine the thrill of having a celebrity like Drew Barrymore appreciate your work!

A Dream Come True

After the hustle and bustle of the 2024 Christmas rush, I took some time to recover and reflect on my journey. I realised that despite the challenges and long hours spent on designing, marketing, production, and distribution, it was all worth it. Being recognised by someone as well-known as Drew Barrymore was a dream come true.

From Etsy to The Big Apple

But the excitement didn't stop there. Etsy, the popular online marketplace, was also impressed by the Christmas stocking and requested the same design in a different colorway for their New York Pop Up shop. Can you believe it? From a small business on Etsy to being featured in the Big Apple, it was a major milestone for me.

Fueled with Inspiration

This recognition and exposure lit a fire in my belly. Fully restored from the Christmas rush, I am now bursting with new ideas and creativity. The experience with Drew Barrymore and Etsy has fueled my passion even more, and I am already (dare I say it!) looking forward to Christmas 2025 with excitement and anticipation.

It's moments like these that remind me why I work so hard and pour my heart into my passion projects. The journey may be challenging, but the rewards, like being acknowledged by a celebrity or featured in a prestigious location, make it all worthwhile :)
