Planning 2008 in
Style
|
|
|
 Okay, so how many of us will still
be writing 2007 on our checks and documents for a few
weeks yet? Yeah, I thought so. Me too. It drives me
crazy, and makes me feel so...disorganized.
If you're
looking for a fun way to connect with 2008 and get your
mind out of the past, check out our collection of
planners and desk calendars from MomAgenda and Vera
Bradley. MomAgenda product for moms is well lauded by
celebrities for keeping busy families organized, and the
MyAgenda product is fantastic when you don't have
others' schedules to coordinate. Vera Bradley's desk
planners are so stylish and look so fantastic in a
matching tote. Hey - that's the answer! If we must
mistakenly still write 2007 on everything, at least we
can look good doing it.

Your Name In
Lights

Since The Dandelion Patch has taken residence in
Vienna and Reston, this has been one of our most popular
items. Fill any room with rich fragrances from
Archipelago Botanicals' Monogram Candle Collection. Each
letter from the alphabet of Archipelago Monogram candles
gives a hint of the essential oil blend that awaits
inside. Each Monogram candle is hand poured and made out
of a special, clean-buring soy wax blend. Archipelago
Monogram candles come in their own unique pastel
monogrammed box, adorned with a crystal knob. The glass
itself is also tastefully monogrammed. This beautiful
candle makes for a unique and wonderful gift and will
illuminate for more than 60 hours.

Turning Winter Blues Pink &
Red
|
|
|
 Winter parties are such fun. Oh
sure, we've all been to fantastic Christmas holiday
parties early in the season, but when the days are short
and the weather even colder...that's when we all really
need some cheer. This year, we're seeing more customers
choose a Valentines Party. What a wonderful way to
celebrate best friends, neighbors and people we love.
Some are theme dinner parties with guests dressing in
pink or red. Others are family affairs with children
decorating heart-shaped cookies, and curling up to watch
"The Princess Bride". At The Dandelion Patch, we have a
delightful selection of Valentine's invitations and
tableware from The Inviting Company sure to add love to
your event. Whatever you prefer, we think this is a
wonderful occasion to chase away the winter blues and
replace them with brilliant pinks and reds, with love to
keep us warm until spring
arrives.

Customer |

Editor's
note: This month, as we write out own words of thanks
for holiday gifts, we feature an exquisite Thank You
letter from a dear customer:
Dear
Heidi,
After receiving another wonderful
product, I am happy to write you!
I have
been a loyal Dandelion Patch customer since my sweet
sixteen party. At that time, the Dandelion Patch was a
very small office on 123 hidden behind Kentucky Fried
Chicken! I remember I was so excited about my birthday
party invitations and thank you notes. From then on, I
have been a loyal Dandelion Patch customer. I've ordered
everything from sorority formal invitations to my
grandmother's 90th birthday party invites. Every step of
the way, The Dandelion Patch has been helpful and
provided exceptional customer service. I would never go
anywhere else.
I recently got engaged and
throughout the planning, I think I have been most
excited about visiting Dandelion Patch to shop for
stationery. I have already chosen our engagement party
invitations, thank you notes, save the dates and now am
looking at wedding invitations! On my recent trip to
Dandelion Patch, I had an idea for save the dates in
mind. With the contributions of several team members,
Heidi, Wendy and Lindsay, I was able to design the
perfect photo card. They are adorable and I am so proud
to say that I worked with the Dandelion Patch to design
them.
Overall, when I shop at the
Dandelion Patch, it feels like I'm shopping with
friends. They are always willing to help and give you
their honest and experienced opinion. Everyone,
including the printing staff, is very friendly and
welcoming. I love seeing all the new gifts they have and
flipping through the extensive invitation books. I am so
pleased with their continued success at both the Vienna
and Reston stores and can't wait to celebrate more of
life's special moments with their amazing
staff.
