Give
your Valentine a beautiful, hand-painted trinket tray or
photo frame by Coton Colors Pottery. The trinket tray is
the perfect size to keep on top of your dresser, and is
a great place to keep jewelry and other small items.
Place a special photo in the "I Love You" frame to
create a thoughtful gift. Either gift will serve as a
constant reminder of your
love! |
| Ask all the Right Questions |
|
"What
possession of your partner's would you like to throw
away?" This is one of the hundreds of entertaining and
thought-provoking questions you'll find in the Couples
Edition of Table Topics. Discover something new about
your partner - as their tag line suggests, Table Topics
are questions to start great [and possibly heated]
conversations.

| Confessions of a Customer |

Last fall, John Darr was gearing up for
retirement from his position as a chief executive in the
home finance industry. His executive assistant, Nancy
Galie, had spent time looking for the perfect invitation
for his November retirement dinner at the Hyatt Regency
in Reston, but was not satisfied with the first two
companies she worked with. Then one day, while walking
down Market Street by their office in Reston Town
Center, Nancy came upon a store called The Dandelion
Patch, and her invitation problems were
solved.
After a number of visits to the store and help from
Tina and the other Dandelion Patch Milestone
Specialists, Nancy and John selected a beautiful navy-
and gold-bordered William Arthur invitation that, in
John's words, "suited the moment" perfectly. John
received dozens of compliments on the invitation from
his guests, and he was quick to give thanks to the
Dandelion Patch staff members, who were "extremely
pleasant, [and] very eager to help."
To
commemorate this significant milestone, John's brothers
had the invitation professionally framed - as John says,
the invitation "is symbolic and will live for a long
time in my memories." We like to think that he will have
fond memories of The Dandelion Patch as well.
