Did you graduate from UVA but your son or daughter is heading to Blacksburg?  Is your brother a Buckeye and your sister a Wolverine?  Is your house as divided as this vegetable platter?

 

That's ok. 

 

From Alabama to West Virginia, the Big Ten to the Big East, The Dandelion Patch now offers divided vegetable plates featuring over 50 different colleges and universities.  These platters make for a great Father's Day or graduation gift so come in today to grab one for each of your household's favorite schools!

 

More Than Words 

 

Lilly PulitzerHand-painted Picture Frames 


Though they say "a picture says a thousand words," sometimes

actually saying those words can make the most memorable moment, seem perfect.

 

Magnolia Lane picture frames are a beautiful way to preserve such precious memories.  These hand-crafted, wood frames, each feature a unique quote that adds a special touch to your photograph.  If you're looking to buy a gift for a baby shower, anniversary, birthday or other special occasion, please stop by The Dandelion Patch today to take a look at our assortment of picture frames and plaques.

 

 Confessions of a Customer

william arthur invite
John Alexiades and Carly Rotramel "hit a home run" when they stumbled upon a Dandelion Patch advertisement, while browsing through a bridal magazine in 2008.  John was hoping to find a place that would ease them through the stress of planning a wedding, and from the moment they walked through the door, they knew they could do just that.

John says, "...that we could put our faith and trust into their hands, was amazing."  On their wedding day, two Dandelion Patch employees went above and beyond by personally delivering the wedding favors to the reception.  The ladies somehow quickly found themselves lending a helping hand to the reception staff and party planners.  The wedding party welcomed them with open arms, and they got a chance to join in on the celebration.  When asked, John said his only disappointment "was that everyone from 'The Patch' couldn't make it to the wedding!"

With a baby girl due in August, John assures us that The Dandelion Patch will soon be receiving more business from the happy couple.  They plan to order birth announcements from "The Patch," and will be sure to bring the new baby in for the ladies to swoon over!

John's final words to The Dandelion Patch: "Tell everyone we love you."
