Fête (fet): A French term meaning "festival" or "celebration." It evokes the image of a joyful gathering, enriched with entertainment and cherished friendship.

When people travel, especially abroad, it is in those moments of wonder that we often whisper to ourselves, "I could live here."

Finds — the act of discovering a new treasure.

While there are treasures all around the world, Patina’s niche for one of a kind treasures is in Europe.

When I grew up, family gatherings tended to be traditional in style. While dear in my heart and the fondest of memories, spending time in Europe, mainly Italy, has changed the way my husband and I choose to live our lives.

Patina Collection was born from my love of bringing a truly authentic European influence into my own home and lifestyle in Naples, Florida.

As many of you know, Patina Collection was created out of my love for European antiques and accessories.
