As I was scrolling through all of the links from last weeks party,
a few crafty home decor ideas commanded my attention.

I mean crafty in a way that these projects are full of charm and elegance.
What I’m not talking about is 35 ways to make things out of popsicle sticks.
or child-centric pilgrims and Indians made out of toilet paper roll projects.

That’s not to say I shun those types of projects
or wouldn’t enjoy  doing them with my niece and nephew because I would.

What I’m talking about today are grown-up crafting ideas!

Besides being fun little DIY’s and a way to exercise creative energy,
there is something charming about handmade decor.

Just a few touches here and there
has the ability to give a room a bit of interest and some personality.
Not to mention handcrafted decor is original works of art that often help get the conversation moving along.

Let’s have a look at what our featured bloggers cleverly designed
and shared with us at last weeks Thursday Favorite Things party.

Allow A Colorful Drink To Work As Decor Too!

Something as simple as food and drink can work decoratively too.
It offers aesthetic beauty, but with a functional purpose.

Colleen of Shibley Smiles shared a delicious  Spell Binding Sipping Potion
using black raspberry, pomegranate, grape juice, strawberries and club soda.

Doesn’t that sound refreshingly delicious?

I consulted with some of my bartending friends to find out what
might work to make this an adult beverage.
They said a dash of Absolute Cranberry Vodka or maybe even rum would work.
