Spring is here and summer is just around the corner. But in the Chicagoland area one can never be sure what Mother Nature has in store for us. Eventually sunshine, flowers, budding trees and green grass overtake the landscape. Our lives are also overtaken with weddings, graduations, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, celebrations of all kinds.
As these events come up the perfect way to commemorate them is to give a truly touching and memorable gift. Weddings can provide a treasure trove of frameable ideas. Something from the first date, engagement, collection of photos of the couple. These items can be framed for anniversaries also. And of course there is after the wedding, photos, hankies, vail, invitations, anything can be framed into a keepsake to last the years.
Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are the perfect time to frame something to tug the heart strings. Grandma’s blueberry pie recipe, Grandfather’s medals, pictures of the family home, children’s art, that photo of everyone around the new car, and don’t forget the family pets. We have framed many photos, drawings, collars and paw prints of a beloved pet.
Some of the great summer memories can also be framed for display. A piece of wood or the keys from the old lake house, something made at summer camp, items brought back from summer vacations, shell collections, swimsuits, garden seed packets, fishing lures, there is no end to the items that once beautifully framed by The Framemakers will be a lasting treasure not only over the seasons but from generation to generation.
