cocktails, island style, stories & beautiful blue water
How about an easy refreshing cocktail that is perfect for the summer heat? An original Pimm’s Cup is one of our favorites! A tradition at Wimbledon, it’s also nice for our US summer holidays. We decided to have a festive cocktail hour with Pimm’s and some tea sandwiches just because. It’s all in fun and a good excuse to gussy… Read More
Looking for an easy project this weekend? Here’s a 5 minute SCBD project {small change, big difference} to bring a generic floor lamp from the 1990’s into the 21st century. I wonder how many of the torchiere floor lamps were sold in the 90’s? They were certainly a popular item from every home improvement store. Mine has been moved around, put in… Read More
Welcome to our annual tiki bar tailgate at the Jimmy Buffett concert! Neither rain, nor heat, nor 60 hour work weeks will keep us from cranking up the blender and getting our parrot head vibe on ~~~ We arrived in an afternoon thunderstorm and waited for it to pass, before we were able to set up. It cleared off pretty… Read More
We were out and about visiting Scott Antique Market a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday. Unless I’m on a mission for something specific, I’m more of a browser and like to wander about.

Everyone is different ~ heck for me, every year is different. I always re-use some decorations from year to year, but when and how is always subject to whatever else is going on! Before the… Read More
It’s Christmas decor week at bluwaterlife! We’re starting with DIY sea glass ornaments, and a vintage aluminum Christmas tree that is nearly as old as I am. And the tree is showing its age, just like me, but I still love it! 🙂 This is the original aluminum tree we had when I was a kid. I LOVED watching it in… Read More
I am starting early this year for my favorite holiday! I have to make up for lost time, because I was miserably sick last year and missed the entire holiday. That’s right ~ Thanksgiving! And I’m sharing my Thanksgiving table decor today. 🙂 Funny how this turned out ~ and not at all how I thought my table would look… Read More
