This week in weird and wonderful, photographer Jasmine Deporta's series Sofa Safari, which features models in a German upholstery shop, blending in with the furnishings. So very strange (in the very best way).
Dish Disco.
What better way to start the day than with a dance? For those too bleary-eyed to bust a move before breakfast, let ceramicist Lydia de la Pinera do the legwork - she'll add some can-can to your coffee, a little two-step to your toast. Shop more at La Malconttenta, here.
Mice Graffiti, etc.
I first posted about Brock Davis's broccoli treehouses and gummy bearskin rugs back in 2012. But this morning, after a long, sun-baked weekend that included fish tacos on the beach, long walks over many bridges, and a road trip in a fifty-year-old car held together with clamps and staples and knotted seat belts, I stumbled across this post on AnOther and thought I'd share, to extend the frivolity of the weekend just a few hours further.
Among Davis's imaginative Instagrams: a knife blade shark, an almond football, and the Minneapolis skyline carved in coffee sludge. The last one below is my favorite - the artist calls it "mice graffiti."

Also, while we're on the topic, how was your weekend? I hope summer's off to a wonderful start!
Happy Friday.
After a long and winding week that's been tumultuous for reasons good and bad and everything in between, buoyant words from Anais Nin: I walk ahead of myself in perpetual expectancy of miracles.
I love that. I had planned to post a POV this morning, but it's not quite ready yet - I'll have it up next week for sure, along with new stories on sunsets and chocolate cake and fashion inspired by couches. Wishing you a weekend full of many wonderful adventures in the meantime.

Arbres Genealogiques.
Though I can't understand a word of her website, I'm absolutely blown away by French artist Maissa Toulet and her very unconventional family trees, which are a hodgepodge of tape and photographs and what appear to be real leaves. I like to think they represent the eccentricities in every family - and the beauty of their bigger pictures.
See more at Maissa Toulet's website, here. Thanks, As Bright As Day.
