This is such a cool concept that I had to share. DC native Connie Johnson has many artistic offerings, but for parents there is one that is just too precious. Connie can take your child's artwork and recreate the images in and colors onto a armoire, cupboard, table, trunk, dresser, chair, plaque, picture frame or breakfast tray. You will little one will think he is Picasso. Prices are determined by your unfinished wood furniture selection and the number of drawings you wish to have created. This might be a little pricey, but this is an item that you will cherish forever!

Simply one of the most beautiful, thoughtful selections of stationery and gifts that I have scene in the area. The Dandelion Patch has grown from its humble beginnings in a small side street shop to the beautiful stores that grace Church Street in Vienna and the Reston Town Center. Many friends and Vienna locals raved about this shop. So much so, that I grabbed my daughter and we headed over to find the perfect 1st Birthday invitation. After all this was a momentous occasion that called for the best! I wasn't disappointed. This shop was graciously filled with the most unique wares at reasonable prices.

The store has a flavor for the whimsical. The hand painted personalized ceramic birth certificates are irresistible! As you would expect of any boutique, there are a number of high priced, upscale items. I wouldn't sell this as a "budget friendly" resource. This is an exceptional venue for unique baby gift! P.S. the G-town store resides in the former K-Baby Store location.
