Summer Party Planning
Plan the kind of summer event your friends will be taking about for years to come. Join us as we share great ideas on how to celebrate this summer season.

The Dandelion Patch is pleased to offer Tea Forte in time for Mother's Day. These teas are the highest quality, all natural, whole leaf teas. The unique Silken- Tea-Infusers are individually hand crafted, and provide the world's finest method to brew a cup of tea. We are confident that the flavors you experience with Tea Forte will surpass all other teas you have tasted.

Take this card from Smudge Ink, for example. It is a gorgeous letterpress design on the highest quality of paper. It feels like something special-- like the time she bought you your first real party dress made of a silk so fine you could see she wished they had it in her size. Look at the way the pink and brown floral pattern plays among the letters, like how she used to play hide and seek with you around the house to spend a rainy spring afternoon.

And the message, so simple, so sincere, "love you, Mom."

It really does say it all.

Amy Fernandez lives in Texas. She came into The Dandelion Patch after receiving a mailer at her fiance's home in Falls Church. Both the bride and groom are Army officers, and they're planning a wedding for August 2007.

"I told Mary what I wanted, and she knew immediately where I should look," Amy shares. "We're on a budget and they still showed me so many options that would work for us." Amy raved about the attention to detail and wording assistance she was able to get in the store. "I hugged her before I left!" admits this bride-to- be. "They'll be in my heart forever!"

When asked if she had advice for other brides, Amy suggests one do as much research as possible. "While you may have a budget, do your research and go with what feels comfortable for you." A stationery store isn't just for those with deep pockets, she advises. "I can tell why clients rave about The Patch. The Service really is top notch."

"After the hassle I went through with the save-the-date announcements, I felt so safe and secure knowing The Dandelion Patch was going to get it right. I received my proofs in three days..it was incredible," says Amy. Those are powerful words coming from a service woman who served a tour in Iraq.

Thank you for your service, Amy Fernandez, and we're so very proud we could do our part for your wedding celebration.

We invite you to consider the candles, soaps and gift sets from Mudlark Designs now available at The Dandelion Patch. These candles burn for 50 hours, and are so beautifully scented they linger in your mind, like that good advice you received that made all the difference.
