Help me find "duck egg blue" candles or vases

We've just about finished our living room - we've gone for white walls and one feature wall in black and we have a black suite, a black and white rug and we're accenting with duck egg blue - so far we've got a fabulous throw and two silk cushions but I'm DESPERATE to find a vase or bowl and some candles to match but I'm drawing a blank. I've tried (online) M&S, Debenhams, Next, JL and House of Fraser and even QVC!!! Has anybody seen any anywhere? Or know where else I could try? We're having a bit of a party on Saturday night and I'd love for the room to be "finished".

Any ideas Oh Hitched ones?

    I was in Next home section the other day and there was lots of duck-egg blue stuff in there.

    Mmmm - I did see this online but it's totally impractical (ie I can't actually put flowers in it) and I'm with the Colin and Justin rule of thumb that you should put accessories in groups, ie a row of three candles or three "similar" vases/bowls arranged together. So it's not really a go-er. Thanks for trying though!! I do appreciate it.

    I can't get to my biggest Next Home store at the mo because I'm still not able to drive (dodgy foot) - do the stores have different stuff to the website?

    Oh Lillybay that's spot on ... but totally the wrong colour!! I want to put an icon but I'm getting loads of errors when I try and reply so I'll just say a big thank you instead. I think I need to stuff one of my cushions in a bag and head off into town and hope I can match something that way. It's so hard to match colours on the internet as I'm finding out!!
