Patina, Patina, Patina ~Tuesday Display Chain

To tell you the truth.  I had no idea what patina was until a year ago when I started learning about prim.  I had to look it up in the dictionary and then find examples of it on Google Pictures.  Even then it was still a little vague.  I did manage to find a few examples of it in my home.  Some of it's the real thing, some of it's faux, but it's all beautiful.  
If life gets you down, just put on your patina colored glasses and then you will see just how meaningful our past and present can be.

The beauty of old never ceases to amaze me.  I am so blessed to be able to fill my home with the things I love.

Wishing you a wonderful day filled with Patina.

P.S.~  I think Patina would be a cute name for a little girl.
