November 2009 - Luncheon Sponsor - Lasting Images Framing

Preserving your treasured memories

Lasting Images Framing carries on the tradition of a small town, family owned picture framing business. The secret of their success over the past 19 years has been outstanding customer service and competitive pricing with the highest quality materials available. While other shops continue to raise their prices, Lasting Images has upheld their low price guarantee. With over 2,000 frame samples to choose from, and 40,000 feet of in stock molding, there is a frame to fit any style or budget. “I truly love what I do” says owner Rachel Whalen, “Every day is something different, and I get to share my creative energy with my customers. It is a lot of fun.”

Custom framing not only looks good, it protects the artwork inside. Most ready made picture frames offer no protection from ultra-violet light damage, and use mats and backing with high acid levels. The damage happens slowly over months and years. Before you know it, the vibrant colors are no longer crisp and the image begins to fade. Using conservation quality materials is the best choice. For a few dollars more, your art or photo stays looking as good as the day it was created.

The upcoming new year will be an exciting one for Lasting Images. “I’m always thinking of new things to do here at the shop.” said Rachel, “I don’t sit still for long. I am currently working on making ready made frames with conservation materials. There will be a selection of photo and document frames with personalization available. I love unique and different frames!” Also, due to popular demand, there will be art and craft classes starting after the first of the year. E-mail Rachel at Rachel@LastingFrames.com for updates.
