Most of our blogs and posts here are a direct result our interaction with our Customers and the 
feedback we receive from them, for which we are grateful. One sunny ( sometimes a rarity here in Melbourne ) Saturday morning a young mum visited us bringing an A3 frame with a broken glass. She asked if had a frame to match, which we did, the frame being a pretty much standard 3x2 cms box moulding picture frame profile. We showed her one of our frames and she was on the cusp on buying it when she asked, pretty much by way of a ...
You place an online order, you pay, you get your stuff and that’s it. There are no duties, obligations or responsibilities, right? Wait, not so fast, we would respond. While not a face-to-face personal interaction, ordering online is a human activity that does carry some responsibilities. This is because we approach and interact with others asking them to do something for us, even if it’s electronically and not personally. And when interact with others under any circumstances, it pays to be nice, doesn’t it? Have you ever found that ... 
And by art, we certainly don’t mean the crypto art being flogged online nowadays which isn’t just cryptic but basically incomprehensible to most folks. We mean art on paper, mostly being drawings, limited editions, lithographs, serigraphs, watercolours, gouaches or small oil paintings. In times gone by, Customers would visit art shows, attend art galleries or visit artists’ studios to buy art. And just as often, they might visit their local picture framer and see what posters there might be in the print bin. We fondly remember Mickey Mouse, Snow White, Peter Pan, Superman, Jaws, Mad Max, The Man from ... 
the famous dictum “ By three methods we may learn wisdom: the first, by reflection, which is noblest; the second, by imitation, which is easiest; and the third by experience, which is the bitterest." And this is pretty much how it is when we witness how some Customers are arranging the collection and transport of the picture frames we’ve framed for them. Ergo: a) We reflect on how they do this, resolving never to do what they do, b) we never imitate what they do, lest we wreck the frames and c) we practice doing the opposite of what are doing, which may be harder and ... 
surprised Customer some time ago. The gentleman in question had brought in a very rumpled, markedly creased, badly folded, extensively dog-eared and rather aged, large movie poster for framing. All the Customer required was for the poster to be put in a frame and look straight and flat. He didn’t want conservation, didn’t care for preservation or how we did it and, and, oh, yes, he was on a tight budget a couldn’t spend “too much on it”. So we suggested clear glass and a frame with a price ... 
work. It doesn’t matter whether it’s for your 
a wall that will make the beholder sniffle, if not cry, in a happy, emotional response. Typically the framed item might be a photograph, a note, a document or an object marking or commemorating a birth, a newborn wristband, cast of baby hands or feet, a christening, a school report or something and anything just as close or as dear to a family’s heart. This brings us to one inescapable truth of life, all children will eventually grow up, and become adults. And adults love their birthdays, just as much as children ... 
Program starts once more, as it has, for decades. It is needed because, truly, the public sector is a huge, employee-hungry, employer. The Federal Government alone has 14 official Government Departments in Australia. In alphabetical order these are, Attorney-General's Department, Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, Department of Defence, Department of Education Skills and Employment, Department of Finance, Department of Foreign ... 
In fact, picture frames with black mouldings is our single and most popular product. Which bring us to that old conundrum, the colour black isn’t a really colour! Contradictory? Well, check out any rainbow. You ought to be able to sequentially see, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet but not black. This is because black is darkness, or the absence of light and not on the visible colour spectrum. Technically then, neither black nor white are ... 
wrapped and stored away from sunlight since 1967. She was excited at having discovered the print which was the last of a set of three her artist father had created, and now wanted it framed in a "safe" picture frame. Alas, the set of 3 prints was somehow mislaid and became separated over the years, and only the first 2 prints had been framed.
