Artistry n Bouquets History – See How They Got Started
Ms.Patricia Salter aka Ms. Pat, owner, has been in the floral business most of her life. She was motivated by her eldest son Edward who later passed away due to health issues. Ms. Pat decided to close the flower shop as it was too painful to keep open. As time progressed, she explored other endeavors such as real estate, realizing her passion for flowers never went away. She soon re-opened the doors as a tribute to her son Edward and never looked back.

5 Worst Dating Deal Breakers
Showing Up More Than 15 Minutes Late With No Communication
First dates are stressful enough, and feelings of anxiety or worry are usually amplified during the first time going out. If you’re running late it’s important to communicate and tell your date that you’ll be running late. Truly, a simple phone call or text does the trick. But try not to be late anyways.
Discussing Your Ex
WHY!!! The object of the first date is to get to know each other. First dates are NOT to talk about why your past relationship traumatized you. There will be time to discuss that later.
Poor Hygiene
This should not be explained. But for the record… No one wants to deal with deadly body odor on any level.
The Check
If YOU (male/female/non-binary) ask the person out…YOU PAY THE CHECK…and the TIP.
Don't Be Cheap
Coupons and discounts can be utilized, however, they should be handled discreetly. Taking your FIRST date to a 2-for-$20 meal, or burger and fries may not make the best first impression.
