I guess part of growing up is realizing that just because you can buy a $25 poster frame at the box…read morestores- doesn't mean you should. Stopped in to American Picture Frame to see what it would cost to get a vintage poster framed. I was caught off guard by how reasonably priced it turned out to be! He spent the time to demo frame colors/materials, explained the benefits of different backings and glass (who woulda even thunk it mattered!), and gave all the cost options. Exactly a week later we got the call they were done, and they look amazing! Do not go to the big chain craft store for framing. A lot of them outsource your custom order, which doesn't feel right when you think about the cost. When you hang up a print that means a lot to you, it's a great feeling to know someone from your neighborhood helped preserve it forever!

My usual vendor was not able to fulfill the order the way I wanted, and it took them about a week to let me know they couldn't do my bespoke request due to tooling limitations.

It's a huge bonus to be able to drive to their actual facility and talk to real people that are making the product. I even got a tour of the place which was educational and interesting. They put a little extra care into their work than a big box lab and it shows. If you're looking for the best metals you can buy, these are your guys.

We stoped by as part of Gallery Night Providence and I had an opportunity to talk with the owners…read moreand shared that I come from a long line of artists and art lovers, in fact, my great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents have brought many of their items here over the years to be expertly matted and framed. I learned that this business had the distinction of being the oldest framing shop in the country dating back to the early 1900's and has remained a family run local business during this time. (Wow! That's impressive!) Initially based out of the Arcade in Downcity Providence, they moved to this location in the 1970's and have continued to expand over time. What you will find today are three massive floors filled with artwork, prints, drawings, ceramics, etc from great local artists in addition to their large framing area. They can handle all types of projects small or large and provide service and support both locally and out of state. They boast quality craftsmanship, lifetime guarantees on their work, and prices that are comparable to what you'd find from the big box chains that offer framing services (no coupon needed!) The difference is the years of knowledge and experience you get when choosing Providence Picture Frame as well as the good feeling you get knowing that you are helping a long time family run store stay in business for future generations. You'll also find friendly employees who care passionately about their business, their community, and helping the customer get exactly what they are looking for. Pro tips: Consider shopping in their gallery for unique and special birthday or holiday gifts. Not sure how to display that special photo, artwork, or sentimental item? Stop by to talk to them about their custom framing ideas and to preserve your one of a kind item for a lifetime.

I recently started dipping my toes back into film photography and was looking for a place to get my…read morefirst roll developed when I ran across the positive reviews for this location. I haven't had film developed since the '90s, so I was certain I was going to end up at a chain, but I decided to look for a local business. Kerry's far exceeded my expectations. I walked in and explained to the woman at the counter that I hadn't done this since likely before she was born. She took my email and told me I would get a message when the film was done and that my scans would be sent via a link. They offered me my negatives, but the first roll was only a test and I said scans alone were fine. I was not expecting my pictures within an hour, but that was the turnaround. The scans were magnificent. I bought a new roll of film while I was there, and the selection is much better than Walmart's and the price was fair. I'm floored with my first experience at this lab. Not only will I be shooting more now that I know I have a lab in the area, but this is where I'm taking all my business.

Michaels has a coupon everyday on their website you can use in person (an employee told me this, she is the goat), and that will save you some money. The place usually is very clean, and the prices are affordable. My only complaint is the selection they used to have compared to what they have now is changed. It's more or less just random things in the middle of the isles very things that really matter or are crafty. But otherwise nice parking lot, and nice employees.
