She makes the most beautiful bouquets, for a very reasonable cost, and only this past year had to add a sign saying "Smile, you're on camera! Thieves will be composted"... which made me sad to think that folks out there would take advantage of such a situation. Great idea in passing it on, too... something for me to think about when I don't have exact change.Tiffanynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-59325015009284593252016-11-21T11:07:16.811-08:002016-11-21T11:07:16.811-08:00Great idea!

Where my sister lives near Chautauqua Institute in NY state, there was a little house along the road that did this same thing. I love it and always stopped on the way to visit my sister and bought flowers. Our favorite local potter has an honor box in his shop which is next to his house and kiln in the country. If he's not around, there's a calculator and newspaper for wrapping and a box for your money.
