Patiencence Brewster's wonderful whimsical designs were created out of a desire to make the most detailed interpretations of her wonderful greeting cards as possible.
In 2000 she discovered through the grapevine that Department 56 was interested in making some of her cards into ornaments. What a surprise!
It turned out that they not only liked her designs but, for the first time in history, they trusted her and trusted the public. They did not ask her to change a thing. When the first little "Krinkles", as they called them, arrived from the Philippines, she was amazed. They looked exactly like the ones she had made and painted herself!
Incredibly enough, they just flew off the shelves. The line sold out immediately. So she made more Krinkles and have been making them ever since now under her own name, Patience Brewster.
