I too, have always loved things with a patina. When I was a little girl I was always fascinated by things from "olden times". It gave me my first glimpse into wrapping my mind around the elasticity of time passing, and moving forward. That fascination grew into a life long appreciation and quite a few collections put together from antique shops, flea markets, and estate (yard and garage) sales.

So every now and then I want to post a few photos I call The Vamp's Patina Style. Just little detail shots of things that seem charming to me.

I am sure that you all have a version of your own patina style, with treasured objects and pieces of furniture.

Now go out there and find some faded, rusted, crusty, frayed, chipped, fabulous patina style!
