Confessions of A Customer

"I stop in once every week or so," Tana Leasure said, as if revelaing a guilty pleasure. "I buy 75% of my gifts there. Recently I needed four gifts for teachers and I had no idea what to select. The Dandelion Patch staff just knew the perfect gifts that were ideal for each one."

Tana Leasure has been a long-time customer of The Dandelion Patch, and credits her frequent visits to the great taste and individual attention of the staff. "They know who I am and know what I like," she says.

Recently, Ms. Leasure bought patchwork purses for a graduation and a friend's birthday, one of which she had personalized. She also credits The Dandelion Patch with reducing recent party stress by completing a quick turnaround on party invitations. "They knew just what I needed and how it should be worded," she adds.

Like many of our customers, Tana Leasure heard about us thorugh word of mouth. She's excited about our new store location and we're looking forward to continuing our great service in our new, larger Vienna store in August.




Greetings!

July is a busy month for us --- we're getting ready to MOVE! The Dandelion Patch will have a new, larger home around the corner at 111 Church Street, NW Suite 101. We'll be located next to Bazin's on Church in the newest development in downtown Vienna. We're so excited to show off our new store space next month. Details will be forthcoming soon!

We're growing! We're planning to add a few friendly faces to our staff, so if you or anyone you know is interested in becoming a part of The Dandelion Patch team, send us an email or stop by the store and we'll gladly provide you with more details.

We've been named "Best for Families" by Families Magazine. THANK YOU to all of our devoted customers who voted for us.

Our hours are Monday- Friday 10-6, Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 12-5. We're conveniently located behind Vienna Presbyterian Church at 211 Mill Street NE, Vienna, Virginia.


  • Unforgettable Women - Verbatem
  • We discovered Verbatem notes at the recent Stationery Show in New York. What's not to love? Featuring unforgettable quotes from unforgettable women, the team at Verbatem has hit a home run.

    Each card has a beautiful, feminine illustration and a witty quote. Notes can be personalized from the sender with a unique bio line like, "Heidi Kallett: Shopaholic, Retail Therapist, and Stationer Extraordinaire".

    The coolest part? They consider it "prose with a purpose" and donate a portion of their proceeds to literacy causes. Come in and check out this fun line of note cards, writing pads, gift tags and more!

  • momAgenda - New Colors for a New Year
  • It is the fervent hope of the creators of the momAgenda that by using this new day planner for moms, you will completely eliminate chaos from your life... you will make it on time to every appointment, eliminate double booking of play dates and activities, plan meals religiously, always remember everything you needed at the grocery store, and you will finally lose those last 5 - 10 pounds of baby weight.

    This innovative new day planner for moms allows you to see clearly which activities are occurring for each person, which makes planning easier and much less chaotic. As queen of the calendar, your schedule appears right at the top of each day. Below this, there are plenty of extra rows, which you can use for your children, your husband, and/or your dog (not necessarily in that order). You can also use the spaces for notes, menu plans, or errands.

    Most important, it looks good. There are 7 colors to choose from, so this is not just a day planner, but also a fashion accessory. It makes you look good and feel inspired to accomplish everything you need to do, day and night.

    If you are looking for a day planner that will really help you organize your life, try momAgenda. Not a Mom? No problem. Check out the MyAgenda and get the same organizational benefits without the minivan carpool!
