Keep Warm with Less Plastic, More Oysters The weather’s about to get nippy, so it’s time to gear up with some warmer layers. These fisherman sweaters from Long Wharf Supply’s SeaWell Collection will not only keep you cozy on deck, they will also help reduce the amount of plastic waste in our waterways. Made from a blend of recycled oyster shells and water bottles, combined with natural lambswool yarn, the SeaWell line is antimicrobial, ultra-soft, and lightweight, with designs inspired by the traditional buoy markings from New England lobster traps. Proceeds go toward reseeding up to 30 oysters for each sweater sold, and so far, Long Wharf’s effort have restored a total of 70,000 oysters. Available in a variety of hues, $128-$158 // longwharfsupply.com
‘Whaleships’ of the Puget Sound Print These whimsical, antique-inspired prints of historical ships of Puget Sound will be a great conversation starter in your salon. Above the waterline, the drawings are accurate representations of famous regional vessels from the last century, including the Queen of Seattle paddle-wheeler, the Lightship Swiftsure, and the Art Deco-era Kalakala ferry. The hulls, however, are represented by various types of whales carrying the boats to their destinations. Created by Seattle illustrator and tattoo artist Kyler Martz, the 18-by-24inch “Whaleship” prints are made with navy ink on cream French Speckletone paper. $100 // kylermartz.com
