Memorabilia Framing (Shadow Boxes)

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Which memories and mementos do you cherish?   What souvenirs or heirlooms have you saved, perhaps in a special box or drawer, to remember some time or some person that has slipped away?  Do you have a collection or a hobby you are passionate about?  Isn’t it time your special treasures were brought out into the light for you to display and enjoy every day?

Turn Your Keepsakes into Unique Works of Art.  I have custom solutions for creating display cases and shadow boxes for every need:

  • Sports items
  • Heirlooms and antiques
  • Collections
  • Music and theater collectibles
  • Medals, ribbons and flags
  • Clothing and other textiles
  • Vacation souvenirs
  • Memorials

If you can get it to the shop, I will work with you to design and create a framing solution that will preserve and showcase it.

Imagine the Stories You Could Tell.  What do you think of when you look at your prized possessions?  Winning the championship game?  Your grandmother’s house?  The best day of your honeymoon?  These are the stories of your life.  The stories we will help you tell through creative memorabilia framing.

I am passionate about continuing the story for later generations.  Write the story behind the display case or memorabilia framing.  I can insert a pocket on the back for it.  This will help insure that the framed piece will be treasured for many generations.  Our memories get rusty with time, I know mine do, what a great way to have those memories last a lifetime and beyond, saved in pictures and in the story that goes with the pictures.

 I have had clients write short stories about the project.  I had one client who had the great grandchildren interview and tape thier great grandparents, sort through photos and memorabilia and get the stories behind the items.  The parents helped the kids create a book, including pictures and stories,  which was then bound, to go with the finished piece.  They went on to publish about 20 copies or so to give to family members who wanted a  piece of family history.  I loved that my conversation with the clients took them in this direction.  The great grandparents were in thier 90's at the time and both passed away within the next year.  These treasured memories would have been lost forever.
