Welcome to another new week at Patina Market and a new lineup of artists. In fact, we're changing things up a bit.

Also, we're changing the rotation of new artists from weekly to every two weeks. We were excited to feature so many artists during the holiday season, and are now letting the store slip in to a groove and bring all our friends... Continue reading

My first opportunity will be in a few short weeks. January 14th is my nephew, Jonathan's 10th birthday. He was diagnosed 8 years ago with Autism, and that diagnosis has drastically changed...

(the kind with pink hearts and purple polka-dots and red stripes...) To Brittney Mitchell and the Daily Herald for featuring Patina in the Sunday paper. (In December- we are a little slow.)
