It's been a blast getting to know many of you as you come to Patina, thanks so much for your support! A common conversation in the store has been about gifts for loved ones, with Christmas Crunch Time upon us. We've selected our artists this week to provide some great gifts to take care of several on your list, and some terrific stocking stuffers.
Bebecha
Bebecha is a creative powerhouse! Check out this list: Headbands, Earrings, Hair pins, Necklace Pendants, Rings, Pennant Banners, Cards, Onesies, and Binky Clips....woah. And it all comes in myriad styles.
Tom Designs
Check out the design and balance of this necklace! The jewelry by Tom Designs is both unique and elegant, the kind that starts conversations. Equally at home with a snappy top or an evening gown.
Birdseye Jewelry
Birdseye has been making some great jewelry for a while, and we are digging the new foray into fabric yo-yos (so named for their construction of wrapping a string around the center to bunch it up). To me, they look like bursts of pattern, like ka-Pow! here's your cool fabric. Brooches, necklaces, and hairpins in the yoyos, and beautiful earrings in a classic style.

Sleepictures
The art of Sleepictures is carried across the border of dreams by Teresa Flowers and presented for you to wear on belt buckles, pendants, and clothing. Teresa is also a talented and award winning fine artists, and we are honored to have a selection of her prints available in our store.
Retrostiletto
The Serious Cuteness returns for another week of dolling up Patina. Diana from Retrostiletto does girly like a pro with all sorts of variations of hair pins, earrings, rings, and hot pink makeup bags.
Academy J
Academy J is a group of three talented makers creating fun, pretty, and inventive headbands. Each one has a different style, and their output is quite impressive, so you are sure to find a few headbands that fit you.
Liesl Russell
How about a wreath that you can keep up both during Christmas and after? These wreaths are made in great colors that look seasonal all winter long. And you'll find these wreaths made by Liesl exclusively at Patina.
Most Adoringly
We adore the fresh textures and feels that the headwear by Most Adoringly has. A wide variety of construction, including crochet, layered fabric, and felting.
Memmy Love
June Cleaver had domestic hotness. She cooked and made it look good with a prime hairdo and an apron. Her aprons themselves, however, lacked a bit in the flair department. Memmy Love has the remedy with adorable patterns and lace to keep it lively.
White Elephant Collective
Great design doesn't have to stay on paper or on your wall. You should wear it, too. Wear it on your shirt, on your bag, on a necklace, or in your pocket (wallet style). White Elephant has you covered on all those bases. The WE style is a modern take on folk art with strong lines and a familiar balance to the images.

Easily Amused
Easily Amused is another of the "everything" makers, offering headwear, jewelry, embroidered clothing and bags, and more. We love her cute stuffed dolls.
Beehive Soap
It's time to give that cracking bar of Irish Spring the sendoff. It smells icky, looks like kryptonite, and who knows what it's really doing to your skin. Instead, try an all natural, handcrafted soap from Beehive. They're made from real ingredients (parabens need not apply) in small batches and come in a bunch of awesome flavors.
