“They have blessed me many times with framing that has given others joy and picture with life time memories.
Thank you so much. My prayer is for your overflow opportunities.

“Jeff is the MAN. I brought in a painting to be framed that I had remade for my girlfriend. After showing Jeff the reference photo, he identified the EXACT frame model in the photo, knew that it was discontinued, then steered me to a frame that was perfect. He identified hues in the frame’s pattern that matches the painting perfectly.
Not only will I use Jeff for all my custom framing/printing needs, I’ve been considering getting items reframed just to use Jeff’s services again. They’ve been in the neighborhood over 25 years, and it’s obvious why. Can’t recommend Millennium Gallery enough!”
“Jay was extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful with the framing process. He has been doing this for years and is an absolute professional. Would highly recommend going here for your framing needs!”
“I loved my experience at Fringe today. Everyone was so nice and welcoming, including the kitties. Gini was so friendly and easy to talk to on top of giving me a beautiful cut and explaining everything they were doing. I will absolutely be back!”
“I want to thank Philadelphia Print Shop for going out of their way to help me value a collection if botanical prints and find a buyer. I was impressed with the friendly and knowlegable owner and staff and their wealth of inventory. A pleasure to do business with.”
“Let me tell you about FrameWorks Studio & Gallery. This frame shop is 100% not just for fancy pictures or collectible art or autographed jerseys. I am 100% not a fancy or rich person. I was referred to the shop by word-of-mouth. I personally have never had anything framed ever in my life.
I truly was blown away by my experience! I literally gave them a newspaper. And I received back a piece of art! The artistry and workmanship done by this business, Is second to none! I gave them no instruction on what I wanted or needed and yet somehow they completely brought to life what I had envisioned! Not only was I completely happy with the finished product, but the recipient was truly over the moon! I can honestly say it was by far her favorite Christmas gift she received this year! Even to the way that the picture is hand wrapped and expertly packaged! All of the hardware is already good to go on the back! This truly was a turn key operation for myself!
5 STARS”
“The owner is such a sweetheart. Very happy to see Art Star alive and kicking still after the Bourse was closed down. The shop has grown a lot since the move and it's nice to see all the beautiful, independent artwork displayed. Makes me happy to see so many creators being supported locally!”
“I had a wonderful and easy experience working with Customer Picture Framer of Glenside. They are true framing professionals and know how to communicate what options there are. Matt was incredibly patient and helpful with my project. As an independent artist, they are the best framer I have worked with. You will be blown away by the quality, attention to detail, and beauty of their craftsmanship.”
“One of a kind book store. I would have loved to peruse their selection but they didn't have anywhere to sit and my foot was recently sprained so I couldn't spend much time on it. I wish it were more accessible to disabled folks.”
“My go-to spot for gifts of all kinds! They have an excellent selection of a variety of goods from local businesses, artists, and craftspeople. They also offer complimentary gift-wrapping that's top-notch!”
“First time in this unique store! Awesome vintage clothing, art and a gem of an owner! I felt welcome and at home when I walked in! Little bit of everything and even little things for the kiddos! Definitely be on my rotation of vintage stores! Shop small business and support women owners!”
“Great experience for featured artist talk. It was nice hearing from each featured artist as they explained their passion behind each creation. Intentional and welcoming. Hidden community gem”
“This is a great venue for organizing events while also serving as a community center. The staff is excellent and very helpful, and they have a wide range of events that are going on at all times to engage people.”
“Have been meaning to leave a review since this summer when Wendy’s frame shop expertly and affordably framed two pieces of art that we purchased on our honeymoon; a Portuguese tile and a small painting. We could not be happier with how both pieces turned out, and they perfectly complete our stair gallery wall! We went in with little direction or plan, and Nat helped us tremendously by giving us direction with our vision and creating a great plan. Both pieces turned out so perfect and better than I could’ve imagined! Highly recommend! Will be back in the future for sure.”
“This needlepoint store was such a great find! I was in the area and saw it on a map, but knew it was closing in half an hour. The owner told me not feel rushed and was SO kind. It was my first visit to a needlepoint store since starting the hobby and it was amazing to be treated with such kindness as the owner shared her extensive knowledge. She helped me with some thread choices and deciding which canvas to pick. She had such great tips and even got my canvas onto stretcher bars before I left! I don’t live nearby, but next time I’m in the area I will stop in again for sure!”
“Jim did a fantastic job hosting our nonprofit team during our team retreat! He recruited three other fantastic artisans to host ceramics and printmaking classes in addition to his glassblowing class. All of the instructors were friendly and patient. All materials were provided for us, and they're so kind as to mail our completed artwork to us individually after our retreat. I highly recommend Jim for nonprofit/corporate retreats!”
“Took a painting to Colls for matt and frame. Staff was patient and helpful. They had some trouble with the framing stock. Had to wait 3 weeks. Luckily, I was not in a hurry. The piece came out beautifully.”
“In the handful of times I've visited the Galerie, Hamid has always taken the time to educate my brother and me on his selections and offer substantial savings--which I deeply appreciate. The minimal lighting and maximal African art samples (mixed with the aroma of the wooden masks and sculptures) give spiritual energy to one chamber after another. I feel blessed to be in a place that may be the best representation of African art on this side of the world.”
“I was amazed by the enthusiasm of the owners. They carry original pieces, and even most expensive items are well worth the price. I am only interested in shops with a VISION, and anyone who is interested in character and personality must be a friend of this shop.”
“I highly recommend The Great Frame-Up in Wayne, PA. Pasha in particular is the best of the best. He has a very artistic eye for all aspects of framing - matting, framing materials, format and arrangement, glass, and all the rest - which really make your piece pop; his craftsmanship in completing the job is superb; and he is a real pleasure to work with. I have also done “frame it yourself” there, and the staff are very helpful, but I don’t know if they still offer that service.”
“I lucked into this shop purely by accident and I’m so glad I did! In the sea of corporate sameness that is the mall, this little pocket of art was an unexpected and welcome surprise. Lots of amazing art and prints by talented Philly-based artists and the woman working was so friendly and informative.”
“Scorpion Woodworks is well worth the visit. if you're into wood and wood art you'll love this place. From slab style tables, to wall art, sculptures, and some decorative turned pieces, Scorpion has something for everyone who loves the warmth and beauty of wood. Stop in and take a look around. you'll be happy you did.”
“I only learned of this places existence and what a treat! My friend and I sew, mostly garment sewing and spent a girls afternoon on Fabric Row, and googled in case there was a shop we may have missed and found this incredible place, we went just for the exhibition currently on display and it did not disappoint. Cool and knowledgable staff, a stunning display of fiber arts and a very relaxing space. I’m only sad I didn’t know sooner, scrolling through past exhibitions, I wish I had seen them. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping in!”
“I took an oil painting class here and loved how this became my little oasis during the work week! Jo Gamel is uplifting, informative, and just a fun vibe to be around! I learned how to use new mediums, the science behind oil and acrylic paints, and brush structures. Would 100% take her class again”
“Definitely worth seeing this and learning about less famous people who still contributed a lot to the success of the American Revolution and the establishment of the country in its early years.”
“My fiance and I stopped by here this weekend and we had such a great experience. The owner graciously showed us many different pieces of art and talked about the artists behind each. We ended up leaving with 2 different pieces, great price points and variety! We will be back.”
“Dovetail is such a fantastic place. I’ve been shopping here for the past few years, and the indie spirit they’ve built is truly magical. You’ll find quirky, funny gifts, local artisan creations, and a collaborative energy that brings together the Co Lab, Vinyl Chickie, and Align all under one roof. Rhiannon has done such a great job with the new space, and I’m proud to count myself both a customer and a friend.”
“Enjoyed the Gurushots exhibit this weekend! The photos were displayed in a beautiful manner, the gallery hosts were very welcoming and pleasant and it was fun meeting several of the photographers.”
“I’m a repeat customer of Steve’s and would not consider any other tattoo artist. The shop is clean and what I like most is Steve’s artistic knowledge. He took my idea and while it changed, he explained why and how what he proposed will look better. For something that I will have forever, I appreciate the artistic insight that I don’t have. I love what he did and can’t wait for round two! (I’m the eel and queen trigger fish on IG)”
