The poem implies that life has things that are for sale. You should spend whatever the cost is for these things because they are very valuable in your life. So, the extended metaphor is comparing life to things being offered to you for purchase, like a salesperson.
to sum it all up, Teasdale is basically giving advice to the reader that there are beautiful things in life that should and could be enjoyed, if only people actually takes time to appreciate what nature and life has to offer. Pretty much something along the line of "live life to the fullest"
