One of my favorite places to shop for decor and gifts locally is The Post; there's always something new to discover among owner Deb Placey's curated selection of merchandise. The last time I stopped in, I fell in love with these oceanic vases from Art Floral Trading. Their organic shapes and marine-like color palette evoke seashells and undersea landscapes, but in a way that still feels befitting of chic, coastal Connecticut. Each porcelain vase is handmade using environmentally-friendly methods, and they come in tons of unique shapes and sizes. "From anemones to luffas—in blues neutrals, greens, and browns—these vases work on their own, as a pair, or in a well-curated grouping," says Deb. "They're the perfect 'shelfies' to add texture and interest to your home." Or for that matter, any home that wants to nod to the natural seaside landscape of Westport.
