Amy gathered memories, places, images, photographs, ideas, essays, advice, and assorted small treasures and between two covers, following a book-within-a-book on the fundamentals of flower arrangement. Like all of her creations, it is beautiful whole full of details that reward close attention. Both of these images are from Pentreath & Hall, one of my favorite shops in London. Last time I was there, they had Mushroom People vol. 1 shelved right next to Amy's book, which was a delight.”
