My own (work) space ....

Not only I've enjoyed the lovely weather what unknown long continues but I also had some fun activities indoors (with not to mention the great help of my dear husband)
What at first was only a dream has come true .... my own (work) space!
I'm so happy that I really have to share it with you.


So come on in ....

As you can see the room is painted vanille and the white lampshade ÅRSTID didn't quite fit in.
Fortunately Earl Grey can be used for many purposes .... because letting it soak in a bucket of tea did wonders!

And finally one of my treasures from my trip this Spring to Sussex got a very nice place . I bought this beautiful old stained glass window from the lovely Jill from Rosiebud Decorative Vintage and I'm so pleased with the atmosphere it gives to the window. 

I had already seen this swivel chair LILLHÖJDEN earlier but just recently realised that it would make a perfect match with my baskets in the cabinet ....

Not only the stained glass window reminds me of my wonderful trip to Sussex, but also the enlarged photo (taken during our walk in Fairlight) under the transparent desk pad PRÖJS  does ....

The vase SOCKEHÄRT  also appears to be a great place for my brushes ....

Because I really hope, now I have my own space, to find the time to paint . In any case, the dish SKURAR that I had bought earlier received at least a nice destination ....

What I'm certainly will do more is sewing now I don't have to put away my sewing machine, what a luxury ....

And yes it's called work space for various reasons .... because this also remains  ;-)

It's a good thing I bought this antique stain (writing/magnetic) board LUNS  , not only to collect beautiful cards but also to help me remind important things I should easily forget .... busy creating and dreaming away in ....

Happy weekend,

Together is the best place to be ....

I hope you've enjoyed the weekend as much as I did. Though I've done nothing special and mostly stayed at home, my battery is recharged for yet another week!


In the morning, still in pyjamas, a round in the garden ....

Having breakfast outside when the whole family (read our sons) is awake ....


,

Breakfast that silently passes into coffee time ....

What we believe (especially in the weekend) can't do without some sweets ....

Drooling over my favourite magazine ....

But the essence is to have time to yourself and for me most important ....  to spend that time with my loved ones.
This weekend has once again proved ....

Together is the best place for me ....

Have a good week!

Easy living ....

I guess you all know the song and that blissful feeling ....

I've been doing a lot of easy lately .... but not only because of the wonderful weather we've had the last few days.

Also by a back who occasionally let me down and out of nowhere a persistent eye infection. 

So for a while it was no daytime job, less household, no blogging or long reading (just a glimpse on facebook now and then) for me.

I was "forced" to step out of everyday (and sometimes hectic) life and had therefore plenty of time to enjoy all the beauty around me .... and with so much summer especially outside in the garden ....

The first flower bud of the lily in the pond ....

The Syringa full in bloom fulfils the terrace with a heavenly scent ....

And of course healthy, summer like but above all .... easy food!

All time favourite in our home is this tuna salad .... with the following required ingredients :

- 2 cans tuna in (sunflower) oil

- circa 25 mini plum tomatoes

- 2 (braeburn) sweet and firm apples

- 1 small red onion into fine rings

Mix the tuna including the oil with the rest of the ingredients and finished the salad .... how easy is that!

Tastes great with arugula salad and multigrain bread .... and maybe a glass of wine ;-)

   

The easy life has done me right and today I will return to my daytime job and at the same time try to keep in mind that taking things slow for once in awhile can do no harm ....

Enjoy the summer,

Anita xo
