The Frame Shop: Holiday Gift Ideas

HO, HO, HO-ly crap this year's been tough. If you're giving the gift of something handmade, why not go one step more and get it framed? It's like putting the perfect pair of shoes on with the rest of the outfit.  You can always gift something to yourself this year, too, as a special "I made it through 2020," treat. Now's a perfect time get something started.

As we barrel into a season of gift-giving COVID style, here's a few notes on what we offer for you:

• We have designed plenty of frame packages from afar! Email us with your ideas and style and we'll use all of our creative design experience to collaborate with you on your project.
• There's a non-contact pickup and drop off location in the vestibule of the gallery. Call ahead to arrange a time.
• We will gift wrap your project! just ask! ...complementary as per usual
  
• We're offering free local non-contact delivery (we're considering 'local' 30 mile radius in proximity to the gallery)

Let's Do This!

THE KEEPSAKE

This project is, by far, the most gifted at the holidays and also the most complicated. These can take up to 5 weeks (especially during a holiday rush) to complete, so plan to come in as soon as you gather your items. The time-frame depends on the number of items needing to be hand-sewn, specialty acrylic orders...etc. Sadly, we probably won't be able to get one of these done in time for Christmas this year [thanks COVID], however, you can give a gift no matter the date!

TRAVEL COMPANIONS

We may not have been able to travel much this year, but remember when you went on that awesome trip with your sister and you picked up matching posters? How about that trip to Turkey and you wanted a piece to remember the journey? Lean on some nostalgia and gift some fun memories... Yes, we did frame an entire Turkish rug (the fringe is all hand-sewn).

MAKE IT POP

You can't get something fun framed with a standard package. Peek at the custom painted inside lip of the frame. Make your favorite things even better by really upping the WOW factor.

VINTAGE IS ALWAYS "IN"

'Tis the season to remember years of olde?
Elegance and excess apply! Preserve your grandparents' strange heirloom and bring new life to it!

BREAK THE MOLD

While it might not be readily apparent, the first frame package is a T-Shirt! This was a special way to commemorate a community bike ride in memory of a local professor. We loved that they wanted to hang it as a diamond instead of a standard square.

Pennant's add a fun retro vibe, but this one really took the...tacos. Eat More Tacos...always.
