nice to meet you
I’m Nadia
I’m 50% Coffee, 50% cake and a lover of books, journals, and neutral shades.
The Cottage Notebook is a journal, book, & lifestyle blog based on Ireland’s east coast. It started life in September 2016 as a journal documenting my adventures in handcrafts. As this became my full-time job, my blog remained my refuge by sharing my other interests. It has been my port in a storm and it can be yours, too.
Embrace who you are, where you are.
Over the years, on social, you see so many people caught in a comparison trap. I believe the only way to really enjoy your hobbies is to make it work for you first, then chose what you want to share online.
If you’re not enjoying what you’re creating, it’s now yet another thing added to your to-do list. Embrace what you love to do at a cadence that works for you, and love how only you can do it.
Nadia.
