Seagrass Coastal Home

On a mission to locate nifty items for a new home, we found many items here which tied into our desired look nicely. Inspiring and practical ideas for the home. Despite the name, you don’t have to be «coastal» minded to find some nifty things. Like Sunset magazine in a small scale storefront. We’ll be back when in the area again and hope this gem is still around.

I first discovered the Seagrass candles at the Port Townsend Farmers Market. Now I can get them in winter, which is really candle burning season anyway. I love the scents, and the fact that I’m burning a renewable source, soywax. The candles last a long time, and there’s nothing left when you’re done, unlike pillars which seem to burn down the middle and leave you with a lot of unused wax. They are happy to do custom orders too!

YES!
If you haven’t checked this new shop out, you really should.
Soybased candles, rugs, artful objects and (you heard it here first) virtually indestructible air plants.
You are going to ask yourself about the Airplants.
You are going to want to know that the things, although quite alive, are virtually indestructible. Will make a house look like a home even when you aren’t a great housekeeper.
And that even those of us with wanderlust are unlikely to kill an Airplant when we forget to water it.
Or when we have been away from our piece of terra-​firma for awhile.
Airplants don’t need soil.
They don’t really need much water, except, perhaps for the occasional misting.
And they really don’t need a whole lotta loving.
Just a kiss and a promise will do.
Seagrass has ‘em…Heather will «plant» them for you in a glass terrarium. Throw in a bitta moss and a piece of driftwood.
Sort-​of the ultimate gypsy-vagabond’s bouquet.
Solved a problem for me, they did. Now if I could just train my airplant to vacuum and wash the dishes. Or at least make the bed and fold the laundry.
But enough of these reveries… gotta go… Adventure is Out There!
(Thanks, Heather!)
