A Note from the Heart 💝

Friends of Patina & Frayed,

As we welcome 2025, I'm taking a mindful pause from my page to focus on what matters most - the people, places, and things that bring peace rather than stress to my journey.

While you'll still find my carefully curated vintage treasures in Booth #824 at All About Antiques, I'm stepping back from social media marketing for now. This isn't goodbye - just a shift in priorities as I navigate my path forward.

Thank you for your continued support of my small vintage business. Your kindness throughout my journey means more than you know.

Happy hunting in 2025!

Stop by and see what's new at:

Do you know about Jolabokaflod? 📚

It's an Icelandic Christmas Eve tradition where people exchange books and spend the evening reading together while sipping hot chocolate. Can you imagine a cozier way to celebrate?

The tradition began during World War II when paper was one of the few items not rationed in Iceland. Books became the gift of choice, and a beautiful tradition was born.

🎄What's your favorite way to spend Christmas Eve? Are you curled up with a good book and hot cocoa, or do you have your own special tradition?

P.S. Watch for the return of our Blind Date with a Book packages in the new year!

Vintage Blanket Care Tips ❄️

As we welcome cooler weather and pull out those cherished vintage blankets, here's a gentle reminder on caring for these cozy treasures:

• Store clean and completely dry to prevent mildew
• Air outdoors occasionally on dry, sunny days
• Spot clean when possible instead of full washing
• For washing, use cold water and mild detergent
• Never wring or twist - lay flat to dry
• Avoid direct heat or sunlight when drying
• Store with cedar blocks, not mothballs

Your vintage blankets will keep you warm for generations with proper care!
