Whitney English Notes |
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
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!
