Our niece Pippa was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Paediatric Wild-Type Gastro Intestinal Stromal Tumour (GIST) in October 2009 at the age of 15.

Pippa has raised a huge amount of money for Sarcoma Uk and won the Sue Ryder young achiever of the year 2012.

She is now 18 and enjoying life to the full. She is an inspiration to young and old and thoroughly deserves this award.

Photographs are the most obvious memento but adding additional articles like programs and tickets is really easy and can add a whole new dimension to the piece.

Framing is an eye-catching way to present these items for years to come, and makes the perfect gift. It also helps protect against wear and tear, and will ensure the memory of your experiences isn’t simply pushed into a drawer and forgotten about.

We have lots of ideas for displaying a whole range of sporting memorabilia and souvenirs or  just a simple painting or canvas bought on holiday. So pop into the shop and we can share our knowledge and advice with you.            Our visit to the London 2012 Games Weightlifting Finals at Excel on 1st August. This framing idea includes tickets, photo and programme. It is framed in a box frame with UV glass and the overall size is 430mm x 770mm. Cost £150.00      Prices vary depending on size, type of frame and glass.

It may seem hard to believe with the weather we’ve had lately, but summer is here and whether it will bring a day trip to Blackpool or a month in Australia, there are holiday memories to be made – and preserved.

Photographs are the most common holiday mementos. They can range from breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge to snapshots of the kids gathered around Mickey at Disney World. All photos trigger memories. The key is how to display them.

Consider framing several photos together in a mount with multiple openings leaving room for a caption mount to show their ages, when the photos were taken, write a description of the day captured in the photo, or include a favourite quote that sums up the trip.

People are often amazed not only about how many different things can be framed, but also how effective the end result is. So when the holiday is over, don’t just throw all of your souvenirs in a draw, bring them down to us and let us show you what we can do, I’m sure you’ll be amazed.

People are changing the design of their homes more regularly than ever before.  They change the colour scheme, paint walls and buy new accessories, but they often don’t think to update their frames.

The correct choice of artwork and frame can add important finishing touches to the interior design of your home.  But with colours and themes going out as soon as they come in, it’s important to keep up with the latest design trends.  Some of our most cherished memories can hang on our walls, and every now and then it’s worth giving them a bit of a makeover, perhaps with a new frame or mount.

Over time frames become tarnished and natural wear and tear can take its toll on backings and even the wire we use to hang them on, so periodic cleaning and maintenance can make all the difference.
