Grocery List This paper grocery list from Ripley Cash Grocery was found when Leah Gray was cleaning out her mother's house. She remembered playing with it as a child and could not believe it was still amongst her family's things. In order to preserve her treasure, we hand stitched each bead surrounding the list so that they were stationary and mounted the piece to a fabric covered matboard. The design incorporated an accenting fillet and a match-ing fabric covered liner. Now this is a piece that she can enjoy in her home and pass on to her children. Thank you Leah.

Sue Williams wanted to create a memo-rable gift for her husband, David, as a complete surprise. She brought in vari-ous WWII memorabilia that belonged to David's father. We designed a shadowbox that showcased his father's years in the Army Air Force that included his leather jacket, patches, medals, a custom mono-gram and a photo of the B-24 he flew in called the "Jolly Roger." Military shadowbox-es are a great way to honor those who have served their country and are a beautiful family keepsake. Thank you Sue for bringing us this project.

WWII Leather Jacket

Antique Accordion Doug Fails was given this antique accordion by his sister-in-law as a unique gift. The accordion was made in Germany, but the story of its origins can be traced to Austria during WWII. He wanted an equally unique and interesting way to display it. We de-cided to incorporate a custom acrylic box and stand into the custom framing design. The style of the frame and the grey suede fabric base highlight the delicate details on the instrument. Thank you Doug for letting us custom frame this piece!

Customer Highlight: Vanity Set

Dixie Waters excited to see her finished and framed vanity set

Dixie Waters inherited her mother's celluloid vanity set from the early

1900's. She wanted an innovative way to preserve and display the tools on

her dresser. We used the original place holders for each tool and covered

them with a silk fabric for a casually placed look. The custom frame pattern and design are reminiscent of the time

period the vanity set was used. The acrylic box allows every angle of the

tools to be seen.

Vanity set includes: nail buffer, shoe hook for buttons, shoe horn, nail tool, mirror, glass powder box, hairbrush,

nail file, keepsake box and comb

Custom Pet Mats!

It looks like there is another frame in the gallery with my picture in it, but this time it has my name on it! I'm so handsome after I get a hair cut, I guess someone noticed... Sometimes customers tell me about their pets and how they will get jealous if they knew they met me. I de-cided that we should make custom pet mats for all their furry friends at home. "Thank you for letting me get to meet your owners." Even though cats aren't my favorite, we can make custom pet mats for them too!

What's NEW?

Put your pet's name with their photo! We can add a custom pet mat to any of

Natural and organicelements typically create a calming affect in a home's decor with Earth tones, rustic frames and textural mats. We focused on bring-ing the beauty of nature into an interior space with sets and pairs of artwork. Using similar subject matter, mats and frames, a well balanced and visually striking wall grouping can be created.
