Whitney English Notes
  Whitney English Note
Did you see the Oscars? Black & White is the pinnacle of high style this season, and we have some gorgeous note cards from Whitney English Papers that Anne Hathaway could easily have tucked away in her evening bag.

There are more than 26 black and white designs to choose from, each with a color block monogram initial. The intricacy of many of these is best seen in person, so come in to the store and take a peek!

The Hostess Gift She'll Remember
  Tulip Towel
As the weather improves we'll all be out and about more. A St. Patrick's Day Family Irish Feast? A Passover Seder? Easter Brunch? Whatever the occasion, the hostess can only manage so many potted plants at once, so if you're looking to bring a little nature without the dirt-filled pot or cut stems, check out the spring collection from Mary Lake Thompson designs.

Each towel and soap set is inspired by nature and the presentation is just stunning. Don't be surprised if the hostess keeps it on display!

These make great teacher gifts as well, and Teacher Appreciation Week comes up in May, so plan ahead!

Confessions of a Customer
  Envelop Save The Date
Shana Treger was a bride who knew what she wanted in an invitation. She just wasn't sure how to make it happen.

"Heidi and the team at The Dandelion Patch took my idea and we created a custom invitation, " says Shana. "They helped me select the paper, then layer it with a corresponding sheet, and manage the layout. It looked fantastic!"

Shana admits she's a chronic researcher and she searched nearly every stationer in the area for what she wanted for her own wedding. "They had the best selection, by FAR, of any other store I visited."

Since then, Shana has purchased gifts and additional party invitations at the store. "I was a Maid of Honor at a friend's wedding, and The Dandelion Patch really helped me with my duties."

When asked if she had advice for other brides going through the process, Shana offered, "Order early and don't wait until the last minute!" Smart advice, Shana!
