We love paper and our clients. We dream about fonts, deckled edges, and envelope liners. After your event, we eagerly await your photos to see what we heard so much about during the process. We miss you when the project comes to end and hope you find an excuse to come and see us! Learn a bit more about us below.

I have had a lifelong love of pretty paper. In fact, when I was really little, I used to ask my parents to take me to stationery stores as a special treat and I think we managed to find one on every vacation we ever took. Flash forward about 25 years and my favorite part of my wedding planning process (no surprise) was picking out and designing our invitations, menus, programs, and place cards. It was heaven for a paper lover!
I am a true local having grown up in McLean. I attended the National Cathedral School for high school (and get to see so many NCS graduates in the shop!). Since having children, my husband and I moved to Great Falls to raise our young daughters and many, many pets. I have been a lifelong squash player and if you can’t find me at my desk, I’m probably on court.
My career has taken a few twists and turns over the years. I did my undergraduate degree at Harvard University and my Master of Business Administration at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business. I spent many years in consulting leading strategy and transformational change projects and when I tired of work travel I switched into career coaching and did that for many years. However, my love of paper continued and when The Dandelion Patch was ready for its third owner in 24 years, I jumped at the opportunity.
I want our customers to feel that they have found everything they wanted and more when they work with us! We work hard to provide personalized service to every client that walks through our door. By the time we wrap up our process, our clients end up feeling like family and we miss them when the project is done!
