I gave my best friend a Kim Westad vase last summer for being part of my wedding. They're truly beautiful and pretty inexpensive.

I love that green and white vase! So I bought it!

(I had a pretty serious vase fetish for years. I was freakin obsessed with them.) That Kim Westad vase is really really beautiful, even more so since someone made it by hand and not in some factory in China. Since my vase detox, I have favored handmade pieces. The new Heath Ceramics series is stunning.

That pair of green ones is insanely beautiful. They stand alone (together?) beautifully, but if you put flowers in them, I think they would also be amazing.

Inspired by this post and the comments, I just bought a different Kim Westad vase for my mother and will also send flowers to put in it. Gorgeous -- she will love it.

Last night I decided to go for it on those green vases, but alas and alack, somebody beat me to them! Good for them!
