A little taste of our NEW fall menu which launches Wednesday, September 23 🍎🍁☕️ We’re looking forward to welcoming the autumnal season later this week with some of the flavors we love most about fall…the warmth of maple and brown butter, the sweetness of apple and pears, cozy, warming spices, roasted vegetables, toasted nuts and of course, a little pumpkin spice. Our cafe will soon be filled with the scents and flavors of the season, from freshly baked sweet treats and savory bites, to seasonal drinks that feel like fall in a cup. A few familiar favorites are staying on our menu as well!

Please note, we’ll be closing early at 3 pm tomorrow (Monday, September 21) to train our staff on our new menu. And on Tuesday, while we are closed, we’ll be swapping out the remainder of our late summer merchandise for fall, so when you arrive on Wednesday, fall will be in full swing across both our Mercantile and cafe.

We can’t wait to celebrate this glorious season with you!

Shorter days, cooler mornings and the first crispy leaves. Fall has slowly begun to emerge from summer’s shadow and with it, we are slowly changing over our merchandise to fall. As you may have heard, at Life’s Patina, we live with the seasons, from what we eat to how we decorate. For us, September feels like a bit of an in between month, not quite still summer but not quite fully fall. We’re still enjoying the last of the garden’s bounty and basking in the sunshine, drinking in our fill until next year, but we’re also noticing the leaves begin their transition and the earlier setting of the sun. Our merchandise and menu reflect this slow, natural transition from summer to fall as well. This week we introduced the first of our fall merchandise with more to come over the next few weeks and marked all summer merchandise off by 40% until this coming Tuesday September 15th! We’re still serving up our summer menu but our specials reflect late summer and we’ll be switching to our new fall menu on Wednesday September 23rd.

We hope you’ll join us to live in the present moment and soak in the end of summer and early fall!

It’s all in the details✨. For us, creating a memorable event isn’t just about the happening itself, but all the little touches that make our guests feel considered, welcomed and part of something special. Hand tea-stained menus for our historical teas. Thoughtfully made, seasonally inspired place cards. A spritzer to start the affair right. A beautiful butter board for a creative appetizer. A beautiful flower press as a gift at the end of a workshop. Each detail is an opportunity to intentionally layer in texture, personality and charm and leave our guests with sweet lingering memories of their experience. Swipe through to see some of the details we’ve loved dreaming up for recent events.

We love taking on this process for clients who book private events with us as well! Whether it’s a baby or bridal shower, luncheon, rehearsal dinner, meeting or a special gathering all your own, we’d love to work together to bring the event of your dreams to life. At the link in our bio you can learn more about hosting a special event with us and submit an inquiry for your date. Make sure to check the boxes for florals, paper goods and ephemera and/or event styling if you’re interested in those services that we offer!
