The Canvas Patch

07/17/2025

People ask often why there isn't an online shop for the Canvas Patch. Marti the owner curates her stock little by little and when an Item is gone, it's usually gone for good. As well, with thousands and thousands of unique pieces, there's no way to accurately catalogue it especially since Marti doesn't have a computer or the internet. That said, although it's old school, Marti would be happy to ship anything that you might have seen if there's something that you're interested in! I would recommend calling her directly at the store and she would be happy to help, or better yet drop in and pay her a visit when you're in town and enjoy some old school shopping and hospitality!

Please help Marti keep her cool this summer! ❄️😎The Canvas Patch is looking for a handyman- it’s a two person job. I need to replace my air conditioner and it will need to be reframed in. If that’s something you can do, please send me a message!

The Gift of Love

why is this shop so special
of qualities so rare
it’s more than just the merchandise
selected by our Queen of Hearts
with competence and care

what makes The Canvas Patch unique
it’s so obvious our hearts declare
with each and every purchase
the gift of love is there
