Bright Summer Colors

Yesterday I did a post of soft summer colors and today I'm doing the opposite. The difference today from yesterday though is not only the colors, but today's flowers are silk.  I have found that good quality silkflowers are worth every penny and can bring just as muchjoy to a room as fresh flowers.This first arrangement of nasturtiums is one I have hadfor years and years.  I make the little basket from sticks and filled it with the colorful nasturtiums to brighten my kitchen every summer.

You know you love something when it passes the test of time andyou keep it for years on end.I paired it with this dear little summery saucer and pearcandle I found at Goodwill last week.  Don't they go together likethe perfect couple?

But my favorite part of this perky vignette is the bouquet ofcolorful poppies I found at a yard sale this weekend.

I originally picked these up to resell at the store, but just can't bring myselfto  part with them and the way they brighten up a room. Thebrilliant colors demand attention and scream "look at me". 

 I love the way they always bring a smile to my face and sunshine to the room. ~Last but not least, is the soft orange plaid linen I found at a flea market a few weeks ago.  I picked it up to use in the store this fall for Halloween, butfound it the perfect table cover for this vignette.
