October is just the start of a fun-packed and festive holiday season!

Beware! Spooktacular Framing Ahead
As the fall weather turns more boo-tiful, these framing ideas will help you carve out some festive decor for your home! & Scare up a fang-tastic month by following our Fall events guide.
Halloween Fun

Costumes are great--but what do you do when they no longer fit? These customers brought us an antique shadowbox already built and a vintage Halloween jester's outfit with matching hat. We arranged the costume to fit into the shadowbox and sewed it onto new backing board for a perfect October display. Now instead of storing it in a closet, they can admire the costume behind glass whenever they wish!

Brewing Mischief

Sometimes you can find exactly the sort of artwork you're looking for, already framed from long ago. This picture came in just like that--and needed a lot of help! The mat and backing were discolored and no longer matched the faded etching of the little witch girl with her cauldron. We cut a new mat and gave the customer UV protective glass, but were able to re-use the original frame for that real vintage look. Look out for the goblins!
Life, Death & Recycling

We love handmade frames! This customer came to us looking for everything but the frame for this botanically designed skull. We mounted the picture, cut some great textured mat choices, and added the glass. Then he built the frame himself out of reclaimed wood! He sent us a picture of it finished and hanging in his home. Beautiful and spooky.

3-month charity event begins

For our third year, AFT will be having our "3 Months 3 Charities" donation from October to December. We'll donate a percent of any gallery sale to one of 3 local non-profits!

To participate, simply shop at A Framer's Touch between now and December 24th. Once you have made a purchase, use our sale form to mark your favorite charity--this year features the Oregon Food Bank, Bonnie Hays Animal Shelter, and the Forest Grove Library--and we'll make sure that your participatory donation goes to the charity you chose.

It really is that easy!
