Start the Year Organized! |
|
|
|
|
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.

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.
