After so much planning and anticipation, Patty has landing safely in Vilnius and is now gearing up for not one, but TWO, holiday trunk shows in Lithuania! Our gracious host, Yurga Lago, a renowned jewelry designer in her own right, has been nothing short of amazing. With her help we will be debuting the Patty Tobin collection in the city of Vilnius on Thursday, December 1st from 7:00PM-9:00PM, at Yurga’s boutique. Special guests and press have been invited to attend, so that they might have a chance to meet Patty in person and see her beautiful collection of semiprecious gemstone and freshwater pearl jewelry first-hand.

I saw the collection before Patty left and it is totally “signature” Patty Tobin: gorgeous pearl and gemstones ropes, luscious “gemmy gem gem” torsades, stunning pendants, matching earrings and bold cuff bracelets. One thing is for certain: The women of Vilnius are in for a real treat!

New to the plan — and a very exciting addition — is our second show, which will be hosted again by Yurga at her larger boutique in Klaipeda, a beautiful city situated right on the coast of Lithuania where the mouth of the Nemunas River flows into the Baltic Sea (talk about a great venue). The show will be held on Saturday, December 3rd at 7:00PM.

Stay tuned to hear how it all goes!

Everybody knows about Black Friday, but do you know about Small Business Saturday?? This coming Saturday marks the 2nd annual Small Business Saturday — a day dedicated to supporting small businesses on one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year.

Black Friday has notoriously been the “kickoff” for holiday shopping with big box retailers offering major discounts on everything from home electronics to clothes to bedding, but there are a lot of businesses that get left behind on this “Superbowl” of shopping days and that’s all the little mom and pop stores like us who can’t afford to offer 75% their merchandise.

But here at Patty Tobin, we’re doing our best to offer you a big discount on jewelry! For one day only, we’re offering our customers 15% their purchase at our Chelsea boutique (108 W. 17th Street) and on our online store!!

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to get a great deal on holiday gifts AND to support a local, family owned small business 🙂 It’s a win-win deal! VISIT OUR ONLINE SHOP NOW! (Enter this code to receive your discount: SBS1126)

Yesterday’s showcase at the United Nations Plaza was a smashing success. The women attending the Islamic Heritage Society’s annual luncheon loved the jewelry and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the reception. The event was a special fundraiser for the poverty-stricken country of Somalia with proceeds going to benefit the women and children of the area – a cause we were more than happy to support. The president and board members of the Islamic Heritage Society, along with Anwar Al-Mansoor, the luncheon chair, couldn’t have be lovelier. We hope to work with them again for their annual shopping event this coming Spring.
