Happy Valentine's Day!
Greetings!

We have lots of news this month, and another great framing coupon for both do-it-yourself and custom framing!

The Best Wedding Present
                                                celebration wedding                                    
We always enjoy helping our customers design framed wedding invitations because the response from the bride and groom is so enthusiastic!

Last month we framed a very special invitation for a wedding in Brazil.  Sarah designed hand painted color  washes representing the flags of the USA & Brazil. We topped it off with a midnight blue glitter frame.

The Framer's Workshop Mentioned in the L.A. Times
30YearsLogo If you've been wondering about the phenomenon of President Obama images hanging in California homes, this article in the Los Angeles Times makes a very  interesting read. We were also featured in an Obama memorabilia segment on KPIX Eyewitness News last month!

Framing Memories for Valentine's Day
oval antique frame 
Maybe it's tucked in your drawer or stashed in a shoe box: the antique handkerchief too fragile to use, the monogrammed spoon that speaks of another lifetime, the antique playbill in a leather album. In this Valentine season, why not gather these objects close to your heart and frame one as a gift of love? We invite you to view our Heritage Framing page for more wonderful antique framing ideas.

Thanks so much to those who have asked after me. 2008 was certainly an orthopedic year! I am recovering from the broken arm and my new knees are working well!  If you need to see me personally, be sure to call for an appointment. As soon as I am cleared to drive again, I will be back to work on a regular basis.
I look forward to seeing you at the shop soon, and again, thank you so much for your good wishes. --Kirstie

West Coast Art & Frame Show
Kirstie and Jeff at WCAF

Jeff and I attended the WCAF show and National Conference  in Las Vegas at the end of January.

With the economy in mind, our mission was to bring back the very best in new low-priced framing materials
for our popular value line and framing package specials.


We also found beautiful new art and frame releases which we'll share with you as they arrive!
