It's August. Warm, humid. Time to slow down, go on vacation, read a book, or barbecue in the backyard. Time to relax, just do the bare necessities.
That's exactly what my writing alter-ego must be doing, (I'm a Gemini, I know all about alter-ego) because he decided to keep this intro nice and short, wouldn't want to distract you too much from your book or the sandcastle you're building with your kids at the beach.
So do enjoy the summer, at least between rainstorms.
I mostly just want to mention "Bear Necessities" the fundraiser now at the Elusie Gallery - a couple of exhibits by artists that have used Eastmont's framing services - the publication of "Hounds", a limited edition print of the beautiful painting by Juli Kirk that so many of you had the chance to see at the Elusie Gallery last month - and a custom framing offer that you won't be able to refuse and we hope will help us reduce our inventory.
Voilą, read on!

Framer's Choice.
We are still experiencing overstock syndrome, can't seem to be able to get rid of our extra matboards and/or moldings.
So here's the deal:
We will give you a 33% discount on your custom framing order if you let us chose the framing design.
You simply give us a general idea of how you want your artwork to look like and we will chose the ingredients ourselves.
We will frame it only if we feel confident that it will complement the work and fit within your guidelines and budget.
This offer is limited to items up to about 11" x 14", our stock consisiting mostly of shorter moldings and smaller matboards.
Offer ends August 31st.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our promotional offer on Museum Glass continues through August 31st as well:
20% discount on Tru Vue Museum Glass
Take advantage of this offer to have your work framed with the best glass on the market, or to reglaze work that has too much glare and/or need extra protection.
Offers cannot be combined with any other discounts or promotions.
Oh, and by the way, these are NOT Michael's or AC Moore type discounts! Real honest discount off our REGULAR prices.
