It has been quite the week here at Bows & Boats.  On Tuesday, our world was shaken, literally, when mother nature decided to say hello in the form of an earthquake that measured a 5.9 on the Richter scale about a hundred and twenty miles  away.  Now, we are preparing to get rocked again, but this time in the form of the lovely hurricane Irene who is heading up the coast.  While we were quite tempted to do a full profile on this awesome bowtie flask today, we thought that the Vintage Seaplane Bow ($55) by Bird Dog Bay might be a bit more appropriate.

While we won’t be hopping on a sweet vintage seaplane to get out of town for the weekend, that doesn’t mean we can’t daydream about it.  Just one look at this tie will have you dreaming up stories of adventure just like you did when you were a little kid without a care in the world.  Available in blue or fuchsia, this bow features a button sizing system, and some of the finest printed silk we have ever seen.  The Vintage Seaplane Bow isn’t going to help keep us dry this weekend, but it will definitely keep a smile on our faces.
