The Picture Box is a successful custom framing shop and sellers of fine prints and artworks. They…read morehave three stores in Melbourne and I was fortunate to have brought my first two pieces of purchased art here for framing. Not having been in the position to buy custom-made picture frames before, I was quite clueless about what I wanted or even what would suit the works best. This was no problem though as the staff member who helped me was patient and showed me my options, made wonderful suggestions, and tried to show me as much possible, how the artworks would look in various frames. It took about two weeks for the frames to be made and they cost a pretty penny, but they really enhance each artwork and I still love looking at them hung up in my house so I'm sure it was money well spent. I will definitely go back to the Picture Box when I'm next flush enough to do so.

Kami has some of the most beautiful papers and gifts that have to do with this type of hobby. Cool notepads, pens, and stationery sets.

As someone who keeps every card and letter they're given, I firmly believe that a beautiful card is…read morean investment. And if you're after a beautiful card in Melbourne there is no place better to go than Kami, meaning 'paper' in Japanese. A card, paper and stationery retailer specialising in absolutely beautiful Japanese inspired and locally designed wares, Kami is one of Fitzroy's most magical little boutiques. From the omnipresently beautiful window displays - rendered in paper of course! - to the incredibly vast range of cards on offer, Kami is an aesthete's dream. I spent far too long to confess at Kami yesterday choosing a card for a loved one and settled on one of Kami's 'Katazone' square cards with an abstract floral motif individually printed on the card. At around $5 - 8 a pop Kami's cards aren't cheap but considering how beautiful and bespoke they are, they're a virtual bargain.

Brunswick ready-made frames quite literally have thousands of frames to choose from in all colours and sizes, or they will make one up for you to custom-fit your print.
