Junk Love: Boating Party

Am I still in the mood for red, white, and blue? You betcha. And do I still love nautical junk? Yep. If I lived at the coast, I would definitely have boat-y type things in my house, like these great Italian bowls with life preservers:

And for the legendary cocktail collection, an ice bucket and glasses with nautical signal flags:

And speaking of signal flags, this is just one of several that I found on Etsy, and the paper tablecloth and napkin set is a birthday party dream. (By the way, this flag means Yes!)

Plus, some classic blue and white for the walls (or the kitchen):

And even if you're not in search of permanent decorations or collectibles, don't you think these would be great for a yacht party? Swab those decks, matey! And chill the champagne!
