Patina is closing.

Hello fabulous Patina Boutique friends and family,

After eight amazing years of fantastic fashions, loving customers, lots of fun and amazing amounts of store growth, Patina Boutique has decided to close its doors... We can't believe it ourselves!

Because we like to see the best in every experience, we want to celebrate Patina Boutique in its closing days. We are starting to mark items down - from clothes, vintage items and accessories, to all of the furniture and display pieces - everything will need to find a new loving owner. Each week selected items will be marked down lower and additional items will be put on sale.

Each week until we close our doors, new merchandise will be arriving, so keep your eyes peeled for our emails announcing new arrivals and store-closing updates. And of course, please come in to exchange hugs, laughs, memories and fashion - this is a time to celebrate our customers and all the fun we've shared at Patina Boutique.

Our loyal customers and fashionistas are the reason Patina has thrived and are the heart of the store. Thank you for making Patina Boutique what it is today - and maybe what it will be again someday down the road (you never know!)

Thank you all so much for all of your love and support over the last eight years!

♥ Jenny Johnson,

Patina Boutique Owner

New Line

Here's a brand that is worth the hype. "Don't Worry Be Happy" is a company with a message and we are so happy to be one of the stores to help spread the word. We have their delicious T's, sweatshirts, and tanks all relaying an idea of hope.

THE STORY:
"When Kevin Carlberg was diagnosed with brain cancer he donned his “Don’t Worry Be Happy” shirt and wore it everywhere. He explained his life’s philosophy, “I’m happy and I want to make other people feel happy too, and know that you can survive this.”Embodying this simple mantra, he miraculously thrived, six years longer than ever expected. He inspired dozens of news stories, and helped raise millions of dollars for cancer research. This powerful message asks you to realize that “worry” over a future that may never come causes disease. Embrace the present, and choose wellness by being happy. Wearing this shirt will uplift you and those around you giving hope to those who need it the most. Surround every survivor with this message. Be the spark of hope and light that creates a miracle as it did for Kevin."

Operation NICE.

We love this story! Just a little something inspiring for the day (:
One terribly hot day a couple weeks ago my husband and I had some errands to run, but we were also craving snow cones. As we drove to our favorite snow cone stand we saw a man welding at a local school building. He looked hot dressed in the leather covers and gloves that protected his skin. When we finally arrived at the snow cone stand my husband said, "Do you think we should get one for that guy?"



I wasn't surprised by his kindness, but I certainly didn't expect it in that instance. I agreed that it would be a nice gesture, but I left the decision up to him. I could see the wheels turning in his head and I knew he wanted to do something nice for a fellow hard-working man.

At the stand we each ordered a snow cone for ourselves and then Hubs gave me a funny, bashful look and asked, "What do you think?" I shrugged my shoulders and smiled. Then he ordered a third grape/coconut snow cone.

A few minutes later we were headed back toward the school building hoping the man would still be there working alone. And he was. I pulled the car into the parking lot just in front of the man's truck. I had no intention of doing this deed with Hubs because it had been his idea, and I knew it would make him feel good to do it alone. I watched as he approached the man, who immediately stopped welding when he saw my husband standing nearby. He pulled the protective helmet off his head to reveal a long, braided beard and a curious stare. Hubs said, "You looked like you could use a break," and held the snow cone out to the man. I could see the man was obviously surprised and overwhelmed with this gesture as he took the snow cone and thanked my husband.

As we drove away I watched the man in my rear view mirror. He pulled off his gloves, sat everything aside, took a seat on the stairs and began enjoying his frozen treat. I felt immediately satisfied and full of pride for my husband. I had never been so proud of someone as I was of Hubs that day. His kindness, which is not at all rare, took yet another leap and bound beyond what I ever would have expected. It was just another reminder that I am a very lucky wife.

Summer.

Ah, it feels as though summer has finally arrived in Southern Caifornia. Goodbye misty mornings and hello to 85 degree afternoons. The simple great things about summer are becoming a reality instead of just a picture in your head. Things like the warm sand between your toes and the smell of the fair's deep fried oreo's are now actually tangible and we wouldn't have it any other way. Here are some lovely summer photos just because...

Just in the all new chain mesh Genetic jeans, oh so flattering and oh so fabulous. With this new twist on distressed jeans, all your friends will be asking where you got them. It's not that you have to tell all your fashion secrets, but you'll smile knowing they're from a little brown house in the Chase Bank parking lot.
