blogwatch: where we were clicking this week
On a budget but need Holiday gift ideas? Why not give this idea a try from Silk Felt Soil: Gold leaf some hefy stones and turn them into chic paperweights.
Another DIY tip, How About Orange offers a step-by-step tutorial on making fabric panel wall art.
Speaking of the holidays, Oh Joy points out a few sites that are doing holiday swaps — ornaments and gifts.
Dd you know that Restoration Hardware is under new ownership? We do now thanks to Charles & Hudson.
Hard to believe it’s that time of the year again, but Decor 8 has put up this year’s (or rather, next year’s) calendar round up.
Another great guide we’re loving, Design*Sponge’s blanket and throw guide. Perfect for gift ideas!
And, Shelterrific contributor Kim B., has given her own blog All That and A a facelift. Check out her impressive handiwork!
Got any great blog finds to share? We’d love see where you’ve been clicking, too.

That gold-leafed paperweight is actually via Design*Sponge and her loving display of many paperweights, available for $140 at http://www.atypyk-e-shop.com/boutique_us/fiche_produit.cfm?type=4&ref=AT26104&code_lg=lg_us&pag=1&num=0
I can’t find it on that site but followed the links as far as I could.
Not everyone is going to love a paperweight as much as Grace of D*S loves a paperweight (or Phoebe of Silk Felt Soil gets excited either), or will be chic enough to appreciate what appears to be a spray-painted rock, I just have to say. I would have a problem giving this as a gift to anyone, being over 10 years of age, even if it costs more than a standard allowance.
The inspiration of such, though, at Silk Felt Soil, has some interesting results on the cheap. I would try this as a project for my own home.
