Let’s Go

One of the greatest gifts of living in a climate with four seasons is experiencing the changes throughout the year. Each season gives us something different, and each one makes us appreciate the next.

I am definitely enjoying the days with less humidity and our amazing sunsets. Maybe it is the cooler, clearer air or the changing quality of the autumn light, but whatever it is, I think we are ready for fall!

As the season changes, so does our perspective. We pull out our sweaters and boots, add a few warm throws, light more candles and, dare I say it, start thinking about the holidays.

I think of our customers who shop in August for their Christmas gifts. Is it admiration or panic that settles somewhere in the recesses of my mind? Or perhaps it is simply a big “hats off” to their highly organized lives!

Whichever the case may be, I thought I would throw that out there so you can start making a few subtle lists of your own. At Patina, we have gotten a good jump on the season with items that are au courant. Right now, that includes football season, pumpkins, wreaths—and, of course, more pumpkins.

Pop into Patina for a visit and see all our newest arrivals.

And please mark your calendars for a special Capucine De Wulf Jewelry Trunk Show, October 2, 3 & 4. More details coming soon!

Here’s to cooler days, beautiful sunsets, and embracing all that a new season and Patina have to offer.

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.
