Dining out is dangerously close to getting a whole lot more expensive at every restaurant in the state. This is no exaggeration.

According to this UMass/WCVB poll conducted last week of 700 voters, Question 5 is “likely to be approved”, as stated by the pollsters.

While those polled most likely think they are doing the right thing by giving tipped employees a “pay raise” to the state minimum wage, don’t be fooled. This is not a pay raise. It is a pay cut.

This ballot question is anything but a pay raise and 90% of servers/bartenders who were polled separately by the Mass. Restaurant Assoc., who would “benefit” from this being approved by voters, are NO VOTES on this question. That’s right: The very same people who are supposedly the beneficiaries of this “raise” provided by Ballot Question 5 DO NOT WANT IT!

This question is a wolf in sheeps’ clothing.

The result of it passing will be:

Higher menu prices everywhere to cover increased payroll cost (owners will have no choice)

Job losses due to higher costs to operate translating into fewer servers/bartenders to serve guests (owners will be forced to cut the staff down)

Decreased level of service for guests as an incentive to provide great service no longer exists with reduced tipping (not to mention there will simply be fewer servers working per shift)

Reduced pay for tipped workers as guests will tip less with the higher menu prices

Restaurant closures as operating becomes a whole lot more expensive and unsustainable

With more than 60% of those polled last week favoring a Yes vote, it is time to get the word out that NO on 5 is how to save the restaurant industry from being reinvented in the worst kind of way. And those who will suffer greatest if it passes will be those it was supposedly intended to help.

Employees and owners agree: VOTE NO ON 5. It hurts tipped employees, restaurants and guests.

Hey flower peeps! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been on here with any events for you!
🍁🧡🍁
Great News! I’m going to be having 3 pumpkin floral workshops on the Saturday & Sunday before Thanksgiving. Pics for inspiration!

• 11/23 Saturday 11am - 1pm
• 11/24 Sunday 11am - 1pm & 2pm - 4pm

There will be 10 spots avail per workshop. Same indoor/outdoor deck setup as wreath workshops.

I will have the 9” Michaels craft pumpkins in white or orange available BY REQUEST. Or you can bring your own fresh or faux pumpkin. The design will not involve carving. We’ll be using wet floral foam and all fresh flowers and greens. I’ll have a variety of colors and flowers available. We will also spray your designs with a preservative so you can definitely use/bring for Thanksgiving! 🍁🧡🍁
For more info and to sign up please DM me on instagram or FB. Or text my cell 781-964-9061.

Stay tuned for wreath workshop dates! 🎄

I can’t take credit for these beauties! Julia asked for “meadow” design for one of her besties bridal shower. Together we created these using store bought plus lots from my garden. My talented girl! ❤️

Tuesday will be ** 8 WEEKS ** this single stem of blue hydrangea from TJ’s has been alive and well. I know it’s just a flower nbd but I love me some hydrangeas! Especially ones that don’t die after 3 days. 😜😜

Tuesday will be 5 weeks! Still looks great. 💙💙💙
This is what I do when processing hydrangeas whether I get them from the wholesaler, TJ’s or my backyard….. When trimming the end I make a long cut along the stem on multiple sides with a sharp floral knife, you want to see the white fleshy inside, remove most of the lower leaves (they take nutrients and water from the bloom), dip the cut end into “quick dip” then right into hot (not scolding) water that has hydroflor conditioner in it. I get those two products at my wholesaler but they may be on Amazon. There are lots of hints about hydrangeas out there that prob work great. This is just what I do. And yes, this particular bloom is still in a very cold (45’) location AND is the exception to most hydrangeas. 🤷🏻‍♀️
