My wife and I recently had some maps of Lake George that belonged to her grandfather framed at…read moreFrame Dimensions. The maps were stored in a shipping tube for several years and we knew we wanted to have them framed so we could display them. From the moment we walked in to the store, we were treated very kindly as they walked us through the different framing and mounting options for our maps. We were looking for a frame that looked a bit weathered to look something like a dock, and they had the perfect framing material. We picked up the maps the other day, and they did an amazing job. The frames themselves look fantastic, and the maps were mounted perfectly with the minimum of overlap to maximize the visibility of the maps. We are very pleased with our entire experience with Frame Dimensions and will be returning in the future for any framing needs we have.

They have a variety of moleskin notebooks... but not exactly what I was looking for today. I talked to a lady at the front desk and ended up going with a hardcover A4 extended Leuchtturm1917 notebook. They have testers and I wandered around trying out different pens to make sure that nothing bled through the pages. I generally get one of these notebooks and it becomes my baby for a good year or so... and anyway I believe that it is going to work well. (I have been Moleskin-loyal for a few years now but the paper quality seems similar and thus I am feeling confident). I come here from time to time for XXL canvases, acrylic paints, and to get supplies for my fountain pens. I always seem to spend a couple hours here... whether I intend to or not! They have information about local art classes pinned right to the front door and for anyone who has leveled-up from (or is unable to find what they need at) Michaels, this is a wonderful place with fair prices! They often seem to have some kind of sale going on. I have a membership or loyalty card and I have no idea how much it saves me (or what the exact plan does) but they offered to set me up a good 5-10 visits ago and then continue to look up my account by my last name.
