I was out and about visiting stores the other day and noticed an overwhelming nautical trend abounding. Flourish in Phinney is doing it right with this red, white and buoy themed table, which includes the Swedish Dream Sea Salt soap that I am obsessed with. Ludlow Home, an amazing shop across the street, also had some adorable tumblers with anchors on them that I wished I’d snapped a picture of.

Hmmm.  Guess you’re going to have to get out there and check them out yourself. Oh, and if you see any other nautical-themed goodness out there, Instagram a pic and tag @seattlemag. I’d love to see what you see out there in retail reality.
