The Drapery Shop is like opening a treasure box, around every corner is a surprise with items you will not see anywhere else.
Customers often express the hope that the store will never close as they wouldn't know where to shop for such goods.
''We have loyal customers. They come from far and wide, some as far as Kildare, because they can get things here they can't get anywhere else,'' says Phil.
Phil worked in the legendary Tullamore draper store, McFaddens for many before establishing G & T Drapery with her business partner Lily Trimble to whom she praised for her hard work and dedication over many years. Phil extended every best wish to Lily on her retirement.
Now a new chapter in her career has commenced with the opening of the Drapery Shop on Patrick St in Tullamore.
