Greetings!

We hope you are enjoying the summer season. At the shop we have been growing our collection of antique map reproductions, and this month we introduce a beautiful San Francisco birds-eye view. Look for more sails on the Bay on August 26th when the first America's Cup race begins.  We have also framed some really unusual items this month and we invite you to sail through this newsletter to see what exciting projects we have been working on. And, be sure to check out a really great coupon at the end of this page.

We laid it on a padded, fabric covered base and covered it with tightly fitting UV filtering acrylic. The scarf is held in place using pressure only. See our Examples Page for more.
