About Us

Welcome to Crazing About Patina! I'm so glad you've found your way to my little corner of the vintage world.

My journey into antiques and vintage treasures began as many great adventures do – unexpectedly. As a former educator who recently transitioned to full-time parenting for my autistic 7-year-old son, I discovered that my love of beautiful, storied objects could become something more than just a passion.

What started as weekend treasure hunts and garage sale finds has blossomed into Crazing About Patina, where I specialize in curating unique art and home decor pieces that bring character and history into modern homes. My background in education has taught me the importance of research and authenticity. Every piece I select is chosen with care, and I'm always happy to share what I know about an item's history, provenance, or the best ways to incorporate vintage finds into contemporary spaces.

As a parent to a child with special needs, I understand the importance of creating spaces that feel calm, beautiful, and uniquely yours. I believe that surrounding ourselves with objects that speak to us can transform not just our homes, but our daily experience within them.

Whether you're a seasoned collector or just beginning to explore the world of vintage decor, I'm here to help you find that perfect piece that makes your heart skip a beat.

Thank you for supporting my small business and for joining me on this journey of celebrating the beauty in things that have lived, loved, and aged gracefully.
