Until I found these guys. Bought an outstanding Congolese nail fetish as well as a Dogon "leaner" from Mali, both in pristine condition. Pricing is very fair, although might be considered expensive by Ashland standards. Owner really knows her stuff and is obviously passionate about what she's doing. A low key place, but don't be fooled....go inside - there are treasures to be had!

A scary framing story for Halloween....I just wish it wasn't true. I contacted Whitney to frame a…read morevintage poster from the 1920's that was my husbands. My husband passed away vey suddenly 2109 from brain cancer. He had saved for a couple of years to buy this poster, which was hand painted, and he never got to see it framed. The sentimental value of this poster was huge for me - on top of how expensive it was. Whitney said it would cost $2,655.18 to frame it - so yes, her services were very expensive, and I expected that her professionalism would match the price tag....it did not. All was fine in the beginning. I told Whiney that because it was so large, whoever framed it would need to also hang it or have someone hang it while they supervised . Whitney agreed and did a home visit to my place with her husband. They decided it was something a contractor should hang and said they would make arrangements. There were some delays in some shades getting installed at my house and I called Whitney and asked her if we should hang the poster or wait - the windows have 99 percent UV protection on them. She said it is best to wait. So when the shades get installed, I called her again. She said she would get something lined up with the contractor. After 5 weeks of not being given a date to hang the poster, Whitney then says well we had a date and because of the shade issue, she no longer feels an obligation to see her commitment to have it hung through.....you are going to notice a pattern in this story of things like this. I'm frustrated but just go about trying to find someone to hang it. From here everything goes sideways. The poster gets delivered to me (I hire someone who has a van to bring it to my house). When it arrives  none of corners of the frame match up  - and one corner is so badly askew that I can see the raw white wood that is under the painted part of the frame. I call Whitney and leave a message. When she calls back, she tries telling me that the comers not matching up is ok in her book, and her voice is shaking. I tell her I have talked with my previous framing person in another state, and he has said this is simply not true. She then bursts into tears and says, "I'm sorry you don't like my work", and quickly gets off the phone. I'm shocked by the response - it's so unprofessional. The next day I send a message asking for a calmer conversation to discuss solutions. Her husband calls me and he comes and gets the poster. Our conversation at my home is fine and calm. I get an email from Whiney saying when it is completed again, she would like me to come to the shop and approve the work and that she will pay to have the poster delivered. When I go to the shop the I bring a friend, and the framing is much better. But Whitey is aggressive and combative and I have no idea why, and then states she now won't deliver the poster because it is their busy season. My friend and I leave and I tell her I will send her an email - she is waving around a piece of paper she wants me to sign. I decline - she keeps shoving it towards me. We leave - and I'm so grateful to have a witness to this craziness. After some back and forth over email with me telling her I can't spend any more money on her broken promises, she finally agrees to deliver the poster, and says she will make the arrangements. And then the unthinkable happens....on October 30th, in the middle of a rain storm, unknown to me, she hires a man with a open bed pick up truck to bring my poster to me - yes, she and her husband loaded my husbands poster in a tarp in a rain storm in the back of a pick up truck where it was rained on for about an hour. Moisture got under the framing and the whole poster is now rippled. Her poor judgement and inability to control her emotions ruined my husband's dearly loved artwork. I have talked to two different framers who are appalled, I'm heartbroken. So use them at your own peril....what comes next for me in getting this remedied won't be pleasant, and will cost them quite a bit to make right, and given Whitney's unpredictable temperament, will most likely involve lawyers.

I would not have written this review if I hadn't had a significant other in the business,…read more"Picturesque Faming" and had some experience in that field. Back on Sept.16 I stopped in the store when I finally found it opened to place my order. Then yesterday (Oct 30th) I received my matting after calling, leaving messages and then stopping by to find the shop opened only to find my matting, which was being waited for, still in it's shipping wrapping and nothing done to it. That's when Whitney told me to wait and she would do it right then and there. But having another appointment I couldn't wait. That's when Whitney coldly told me, "that's what appointments are for!" I was afraid she'd rush the job and eventually that's what seemed to have happened. For the edging was not cleaning done. I know I was trying to "keep it local" and grimaced at the charge of $52.64 (especially when Hobby Lobby quoted $12 per mat or $24 for my job. Whitney back peddled and offered a $15.79 discount for a total of $36.85. After waiting for some input to say it's was ready, I called on 10/30 to which Whitney replied would you like to make that appointment now? I said YES! OK today at 2pm. I arrived at 1:55 and waited till 2:05 and was about to leave when Whitney showed up, frustrated but apologetic about being late. She backed it up saying she would have called if she had my cell number. I went in and she was obviously flustered and found the 2 matts and handed them to me. Not in a bag, but just handed over in their bare form, which I protected from the elements of rainy October weather (yes it was raining that Wednesday) under my coat. Upon coming home to 2 ladies who happened to be doing art work, I showed them the 2 matts, and they pointed out that the angles on the 2 matts were not equal in angle or size. If I hadn't been pressed for time I would have brought them back for a "redo". But it took 1 1/2 months to get these two pieces done, and I was afraid to ask. For I witnessed the same aggressive and combative behavior that I read in Am C.'s review in Whitney. I will always try to support local business, but such behavior and poor quality work doesn't make it for me. I should have moved on, except on that first day, she took the full amount, not half, which is normal, and I was stuck with my decisions. Live and learn.
