THIS IS CUSTOM FRAMING

Some other frame shop's idea of  "Custom Framing" is sticking a few pictures in a boring pre-made frame...

Art of Framing is NOT one of those frame shops.







Framed is an authentic WWII Air Force Jacket.

I know how hard it can be to haul your pictures, paintings, memorabilia, photos, etc around during these winter months. Especially, when you have a bazillion other errands to do each day. 

So, why not let us do the leg work!

We will come to your home or office, pick up your item and bring it to our shop for framing. 
Then, when you have a chance, you can pop in to Art of Framing and see what design ideas we have for you.
This would save you a good half an hour in your day.
There is no extra charge for this wonderful service.

One old 1847 UP Map and one not so old UP Map

How cool is this????
Here is an 1847 Geological map of the Keweenaw to Chocolay. In the detailed photo here, you'll see Marquette named as Worcester (pronounced Wooster). Two years later the name of our city is changed to Marquette, honoring Jesuit missionary Jacques Marquette, who explored this land and further during the 1670's.


This is a completely authentic 164 year old map.













The next map is a 
WWII RESTRICTED AIR MAP L3 LAKE SUPERIOR dated 1943













If you have any questions about these maps or any of the previous maps posted, give us a call 906-228-7719
Monday - Friday 9:30 - 5:30 and Saturday 9:30 - 3:00

Where did the last year go?!

Happy New Year !!
We're 8 days into the new year of 2011 already. I can't believe I'm saying that year! 

I remember when I was a kid (teenager) in the 80's and thinking about the future, particularly the 2000's, and how I imagined it. People driving in their own spaceship cars was what I thought it would be like. I remember vaguely when cordless phones were introduced and I thought to myself... Self, I wonder if people will be walking around with their home phone everywhere they go in the future? What a world, what a world...


Well, here is to a new year.
Cheers everyone!
