Alexander Skarsgard, who plays hunky Eric Northman on the HBO series True Blood (c'mon season 4, start already!), graces the cover of this months GQ Magazine.

Good choice, GQ, good choice.

three potato four

Three Potato Four offers some of the most amazing vintage (and vintage inspired) treasures.

I could browse through their goodies all day long. I love this Gooseneck lamp and this German Beer Hall table would be perfect for summer BBQ's.

If you're in the market for a trophy-mounted tiger head, you're in luck: for $350 this ferocious fella can be all yours!

tape that

I LOVE Washi paper tape (Japanese masking tape). It instantly adds a bit of charm to a letter or a package and it's great for different crafts, journals, scrap books ...  everything!

When we were in Japan, I stocked up! Well, I stocked up as much as I possibly could without someone  telling me that I couldn't possibly need 12 rolls of tape. Ha! It's kind of difficult to find in stores here, but you can purchase it online from happy tape or from many different shops on Etsy. These are all from PrettyTape.

Mr. Brando as Stanley Kowalski.

We caught Tennessee Williams' play A Street Car Named Desire at the Actors Theatre of San Francisco on Wednesday. The acting was outstanding and disturbingly real. Go see it (they've just extended the run) before it's gone!

paper cut

Hina Aoyama, a very talented Japanese paper artist, creates extremely detailed and intricate kirie (paper cutout) artwork with a simple pair of scissors.

Doesn’t it look like lace? Imagine the patience she must have!

James Dean. Yowza.

austin press

Kimberly Austin, of San Francisco-based Austin Press, creates the most beautiful pieces on her vintage presses. Austin draws inspiration from rare books and alphabets and offers a lovely assortment of paper goods.

I have the fuchsia and blue monogrammed cards at the top, and I love them.

To view the entire collection, visit the Austin Press site.

good egg

I'm loving these antique bird egg prints on Etsy.

They'd be a fun, and inexpensive, accent to a home. Isn't nature amazing?
