In my urban oasis

by Elsa Termenon on May 22, 2011

This weekend has been very relaxing and nice, the weather has been fairly good after a week of clouds and rains so I can’t complain. Since my husband is in L.A this week I have had a lot of time on my hands. Aside from brunching and catching up with a friend on Saturday I have spent most of my time here in my little backyard, my urban oasis.

My Nag Champa incense from India have been burning non stop, it is a scent that makes me feel so at home and relaxed.

I picked some of our roses and put in a small creamer from Anthropology.

I made my own ice tea out of green tea with mango and some fresh mint (from the garden).

Brew, chill, pour over ice and drink – delicious!

I’ve spent countless hours out here with my (new!) iPad listening to Swedish podcasts while drinking my ice tea or a glass of Rioja. I love listening to swedish radio, for a moment I forget exactly where I am and I feel very close to home. Even though this is also of course home!

I’ve been feeding the birds (although this fellow didn’t seem to be hungry). Feel like such a senior saying this, ha ha…

I did a DIY-manicure with a new purple polish (I don’t bite from O.P.I) which might be a new favorite!

I came back from my Fri afternoon shopping spree with these colorful napkins (from Anthropologie) perfect for the summer season.

This is how my breakfasts looks like lately and it’s a good feeling knowing that I’ll have many more of these in the following four months.

How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun?

     ååååh, det ser bara så himla ljuvligt ut!! jättefint har ni!
    så underbart att kunna slappna av och bara njuta där ute.
    helgen har bestått av sortering av nästan alla skåp här hemma, vi slog bl.a ihop våra verktygslådor, efter tre och ett halvt år, haha.
    vi har köpt nya möbler och sålt en gammal, då behövs det lite omtrukturering!:) picknick med vänner, frukost, lunch och middag på balkongen och yoga hanns också med.:)

     i love gardens like this! adore the little details, like the lamps and the little touches of color. that is what makes it interesting. my favorite are the exuberant pink flowers in that vintage little vase. it makes you smile. living stylish can make you so so happy! it is like everything surrounding you is perfect! love it girl

     Så härligt det ser ut, man gillar ju tegel liksom!  Och precis lagom storlek tycker jag, där kan du ägna dig åt bara det roliga pyntandet och piffandet utan att behöva klippa massor med gräs och räfsa löv.
