I searched all of CT and Boston before coming across Susan Lipiner at Frame Dimensions in West Hartford. Immediately I knew I was in very good hands. Susan was incredibly responsive, caring, and creative. She went above and beyond coordinating all the moving parts, communicating timelines, and giving artistic insights and recommendations along the way. When I saw the final piece in person it literally took my breath away. Thank you again Susan for going above and beyond in creating a spectacular work of art that will be a part of my family for generations to come.

I've worked with Liz several times and she has helped me frame many items that I am proud to hang in my house. All the framers have been very friendly, considerate of my taste and budget, while still offering suggestions of their own. If you go to the Artful Framer looking for great framing at a reasonable price, I'm sure you will be very pleased with the results.

They have a variety of moleskin notebooks... but not exactly what I was looking for today. I talked to a lady at the front desk and ended up going with a hardcover A4 extended Leuchtturm1917 notebook. They have testers and I wandered around trying out different pens to make sure that nothing bled through the pages. I generally get one of these notebooks and it becomes my baby for a good year or so... and anyway I believe that it is going to work well. (I have been Moleskin-loyal for a few years now but the paper quality seems similar and thus I am feeling confident). I come here from time to time for XXL canvases, acrylic paints, and to get supplies for my fountain pens. I always seem to spend a couple hours here... whether I intend to or not! They have information about local art classes pinned right to the front door and for anyone who has leveled-up from (or is unable to find what they need at) Michaels, this is a wonderful place with fair prices! They often seem to have some kind of sale going on. I have a membership or loyalty card and I have no idea how much it saves me (or what the exact plan does) but they offered to set me up a good 5-10 visits ago and then continue to look up my account by my last name.
