I had the pleasure of meeting a fab blog friend this week in REAL LIFE! Astra from A Journey to a dream emailed me for some market advice and suggested we meet up. Nervous and excited I walked into town to meet up.....I've been following her blog for a while now, so although we've never met it's kinda like we know eachother a bit already! I met Astra, her husband Al, their gorgeous wee man Che Phoenix and their lovely artist friend Helena who makes kaleidoscopes! We went for a drink and a dander around The Belfast Photo Festival It was so much fun meeting up, Astra is exactly like her blog self, a smiley, inspiring, positive person, who is loving motherhood, the good life, and living in Northern Ireland.
Astra and Al are setting up a little business, The Itty Bitty Book Company their beautiful little handmade books are full of postivity, as a gift I recieved the itty bitty BOOK OF STRENGTH and I love it! I can't decide on my favourite quote from the book, maybe "life is not about how many breaths you take, it's about the moments that take your breath away" or "Be strong you never know who you're inspiring"
Astra's positivity is definitely catching! I went home with a big smile on my face :)
Have a lovely weekend everyone! x
