Home and Gardening With Liz: Infuse With Liz

This Week's Ramblings #5

Well another week has passed and I have to say it was a bit chilly here for a couple of days. That polar vortex hasn't quite forgotten us yet! It dropped into the 40's for a couple of nights and I kicked on the furnace to take the chill off- I shouldn't have to do that in July!

First I'd like to thank Ron over at The Uptown Acorn for this great Insulated Tumbler that I won from his blog just before July 4th!

I actually received it during the holiday weekend and was able to use it! I 've never had one of these before but they really work well and the ice stays good for a long time. Nothing like a refreshing cold glass of lemonade- especially when it stays nice and cold!

Thank you again Ron!

Ron is having another giveaway if you want to visit him "here"

I posted about a a new storage solution for my faux florals "here"

I spent some time after this continuing to organize my storage area. You can see a hint of my plastic tubs on the right. We have some old cheap metal shelving units that we plan to replace and the tubs will go on the shelves.

We stopped into a little tourist shop on our way up to Mackinaw City called Sea Shell City and I posted about that "here"

I added some palms to the fireplace mantel and posted about it "here"

I made a change since I did that post with these candles

Pier 1 has these awesome beach glass pieces with a rusted red color, it's
more of the look I wanted before except I was trying to work in some blue
to the room which didn't really work in as well as I had hoped.
