Start the Year Organized!
  Mom Agenda Open
Sure the "official" new year starts in January, but any Mom will tell you the REAL new year begins in September with the start of school.

Once again we're proud to offer our customers The MomAgenda. It's certainly not just your average day planner. There are ingenious spaces for each child's activities, a handy dinner planner, and even an inspirational quote from other famous parents to get you through those harried weeks.

Also the covers are in some pretty hot colors, so it looks sharp! We carry both the portfolio and standard agenda size. There are also handy notes and lists you can use as add-ons - babysitter info, weekly shopping list, permission slips, etc. Not to be missed are the sections on party planning and entertaining. (*Editor's Note: I plan ALL my parties this way and guests think I'm super organized!)

Felicity Huffman was recently commenting on how great this was to reporters, and Katie Couric gets hers every year. With an 18-month span, it makes it easy to plan ahead for long-range family events. Come in and check it out today.

Fall Vera Bradley is Here!

Beach Blanket Bingo!
  Rush Hour Game
What can be more fun than hanging out on a blanket at the beach with kids and friends playing games? For a fun change of pace from the usual deck of cards, check out Think Fun games for kids of all ages.

Come into The Dandelion Patch for some smart solutions for the rainy day blues or a long drive to the Carolinas.

We've kid-tested a few of these ourselves, and they're great fun for groups ranging from preschoolers to grandparents. Don't miss them!

Confessions of a Customer
 
Ten years ago, Gloria Chambers walked into The Dandelion Patch in Vienna seeking Baptism invitations for her son and changed her life. "I love everything they have," said this Vienna resident.

"I'd rather go there than to the Mall," Gloria admits. She purchases all her cards, stationery, hostess and teacher gifts at The Patch. "The staff there is like family."

Speaking of familly, the Chambers added a new member of their family recently, a miniature dachshund named Cookie, who will be taking her first trip to Puerto Rico with the family in August. Gloria selected a stylish Vera Bradley pet carrier in Mesa Red for Cookie's traveling quarters on the plane.

Gloria visits our store weekly, and shared a story that is telling of her frequency. One day, a customer came in looking for an item and SHE was able to help that customer find just what they were looking for. "There are so many things in the store, and Heidi brings new merchandise in almost every week," she adds.

Thank you for being such a loyal and helpful customer, Gloria! Bon Voyage to little Cookie as she heads off in style.
