BOO!

October in Old Town has arrived! The humidity is lower and we are enjoying crisp, cooler days and blue skies. Pumpkins are popping up on doorsteps throughout town, and Halloween decorations are taking center stage.

Old Town has become famous for its Halloween spirit, with Lee Street serving as the unofficial mecca for all things spooky. I had a friend visit last year, and we walked Lee Street on Halloween evening. She was amazed by the party atmosphere and the creativity homeowners put into decorating their houses. She said she had never experienced anything like it before. And then there is the candy! I can only imagine the small fortune the homeowners spend welcoming the trick-or-treaters.

As much as we love Halloween, the weeks ahead seem to fly by. Before we know it, we will be eating turkey, decorating for Christmas, and ringing in the New Year. Now is the time to start thinking about all the little touches that make entertaining and celebrating easier.

At Patina, we are embracing every bit of the season. Pumpkins are sharing space with Thanksgiving turkeys, and our Patina elves have been sprinkling Christmas throughout the shop. We now have a lovely mix of the holidays we look forward to all year.

Whether you are looking for fall inspiration, something beautiful for your Thanksgiving table, or an early start on Christmas decorating, we’ve got the goods! A little preparation goes a long way, giving us more time to celebrate with family, friends, and our wonderful Old Town community.

Here is a peek at some of the seasonal treasures making their appearance at Patina!

Patina Polished Living was created 10 years ago by friends Amanda Mertins and Kimberly Weiler. 

Amanda Mertins was born in Ohio and graduated the University of Maryland with a degree in Economics. She started moving and editing furniture and accessories while in grade school and hasn’t stopped since. She enjoys baking desserts and playing with her grandchildren.

Kim Weiler was born in Pennsylvania and graduated the University of the Arts with a degree in graphic design. Upon graduating, she was immediately hired by one of her professors at the Katz Wheeler Design firm. She loves design, gardening, sweet tea and all French bulldogs.

Amanda and Kim are excellent complements to one another-one could even say the Yin and Yang of design. Being very different people but with interconnected forces is the reason their partnership continues to flourish.
