BUSINESSWOMAN Leyanne Weaver is living the dream – literally!
The 34 year old, from Breightmet, had a dream about owning a shop called Vanilla Boutique two nights on the trot.
The mum-of-two decided there was only one thing for it – a month later she followed her dream and opened Vanilla Boutique on Bury Road in Bolton.
Leyanne, whose new shop sells clothes, shoes and handbags, said: "I couldn't believe it when I had the same dream two nights running. It was actually a real dream that I pursued so you could say I am living the dream. The layout is a little bit different from the dream but there are similarities."
Leyanne spotted the shop was available after driving past it. She spoke to her family about opening it, and the rest is history.
She has always worked in retail and left a job at a bridal firm to start her own business.
And it would seem that Leanne is in the right job - she is a self confessed shoe and clothes addict who loves fashion.
She joked: "You could say this is the right job for me, I own nearly 150 pairs of shoes and love clothes and fashion."
