“I was brought to literal tears when I saw how they preserved two incredible memories for me… I took a trip with my best friends for my 40th birthday to Napa and had two iconic three star Michelin restaurant experiences at Single Tread and French Laundry. For over a year, I had the customized menus and some beautiful pieces from the experience just sitting in a closet and I knew I wanted to preserve it in a permanent way… What they created is simply stunning and is now a centerpiece in my dining room. I’m so thrilled that I get to relive the memory of that trip every day when I see these two framed pieces. It’s an investment but well worth it. Thank you Sok and Melissa!”
“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”
“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!”
“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)”
“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!”
“Absolutely love this place. Great gifts for everyone handmade jewelry and clothes a great selection for gifts for men, women, and children. It’s my go to one stop shop.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Finally affordable custom framing! I've tried many framing places around and they have the best quality for the lowest prices! SO MANY CHOICES and friendly, helpful and knowledgeable framers.”

“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 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.”
“I had such a great experience with Sarah yesterday! I sent a few pictures to her ahead of time showing her some ideas of what I wanted and she was prepared with drawings when I got there, and she took the time to place the piece on my body exactly how I wanted it before beginning. She was meticulous and careful and it turned out exactly as I expected. The studio is pleasant and calm and even though I was there for 3 hours, it didn’t feel that way! Sarah was professional and kind and I will definitely be going back to her. Highly recommend!!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Long time customer of Abiyah Naturals. From her handmade body butters to the soaps! You will never be disappointed! And her always have unique finds from beaded jewelry to hand poured candles.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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”
“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!”
“Lovely experience recently with the Frame Shop's thoughtful, knowledgeable, friendly staff. I'd gotten works framed with them years ago that still look great; I went back with new art. The staff patiently presented many framing options, and offered their opinions when asked. I appreciated how they genuinely seemed to admire the art just as much as I do. They shared their knowledge of materials and techniques as we discussed framing possibilities, and I left with confidence that my art will be beautifully preserved for display for decades. Picking up the work was easy, and it looks just as stunning as I hoped it would!”
“Just happened to be in the area and I was delighted to find this gem of a gallery. Very high quality work by a host of highly talented artists. Ryan was informed, welcoming and knowledgeable.”
“I love this place beyond words! I used to live in Philly and would visit the store in person often. Now that I've been living in Los Angeles for over a decade, I'm grateful I can still shop at Indigo online. Over the last few years I have purchased two of my favorite pieces of art - both Haitian beaded voodoo flags. They are breathtaking. The shop owner, Tony was incredibly helpful in answering my myriad of questions. It's not easy to find crafts from all vast areas around the world, so a shop like this is a true treasure.”
“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.”
“George's place is Antique hunter paradise!
It's tiny but his connection to French sources can yield amazing and unexpected finds. He was the first person I made friends with in the area and it has been a beautiful discovery. Now I try to stop by whenever I am in the area and I get excited with anticipation at the possibilities... Magic!”

“I don't know why its called Metalworks since there is lots beyond (metal) jewelry. Beautiful ceramics, silk scarves, and other items. Beyond the jewelry its a bit eclectic, but I find it to be a great place when I need a high-quality gift. Very helpful owner. I've purchased the silk scarves, the pottery, and earrings as gifts and they were uniformly a great hit.”
“We visited on a whim but ended up as one of our favorite stops during our stay. It showcased wonderful exhibits by Adi Sundoro and Mary Enoch Elizabeth Baxter. They both had smart and relevant social commentary. The museum shop had a great collection of coffee table books, art books and prints. The staff was friendly. Would recommend as a short but worthwhile visit.”
“Best art gallery in the area! Gotten quite a few pieces, looking forward to our next acquisition. Adrian and Robyn are such a great team, active in the community, and so helpful with their decades of knowledge and vast experience.”
“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.”
