The Flower Shop: A Year in the Life of an English Country Flower Shop

If you have two pennies, spend one on bread and the other on a flower, says a Chinese proverb quoted in the introduction to this book. The bread will sustain life and the flower will give you a reason to live. This book represents Sally Page s choice of how to spend her second penny on a labour of love photographing and writing this record of a year in the life of a small English country flower shop, Ted Martin Flowers in Tisbury. A browse through the pages of this book will introduce you to the world of the flower shop. It allows you to share in the happiness of special occasions, the weddings, birthdays, christenings and so much more. But at times it also touches on the sadness, that at some time, is part of all of our lives.
