Frame Love

My father and I have always been very close, especially since he raised my brother and I from a very young age.  I moved away from Winston-Salem to Los Angeles at the ripe old age of 22 and, since, have found my time with my father extra valuable.  I was working in Vancouver, Canada about 6 years ago and my father came for a nice 10 day visit.  During his stay, we took a sea plane over to the beautiful Victoria Island.  That day was a day I will keep forever in my mind and heart as one of the best days of my life.  The sun was shining, flowers were blooming and I had my best buddy with me to explore this new place.  While we were there, I saw this little bridge and thought it would be an interesting subject for a piece I wanted to create for my father.  What you see is a labor of love and a memory that I will treasure for the rest of my life.

Editor's note - Jill's piece is a batiked and painted fabric.

Delaney admires her art after it has been framed by us and hung proudly in her home.  Look for her brother, Ben, and his "Frame Love," too.

The smile on Ben's face is priceless.  His art has received the Hampton House treatment.  It's "Frame Love" at first sight!

Mrs. Rothrock came to us with incredible art and an incredible story.  We helped her choose framing to enhance and preserve drawings she had received from her grandson years ago. She was thrilled with the final product and couldn't wait to present it to him as a surprise.

A very big and heartfelt thank you to Mark and everyone at Hampton House. This year was my daughter's first year swimming as a high school freshman. She did well and received an All Conference Certificate for her efforts. I took the certificate to be framed and to inquire about how to fix the inadvertent misspelling of my daughter's name. When I picked up the framed certificate today I was amazed!! Within the frame (very nicely done) was a reproduction of the certificate with my daughter's name spelled correctly!! The look on our daughter's face was truly one of those moments that will be cherished forever. Thank you so very much, Jeff Maynard

Thanks for the great work helping display my family's history.

With our help, the Sutton family now has their precious heirloom properly preserved so that they may showcase cherished memories for years to come.

"Thank you [all] for your help with this special keepsake."

As a congratulations for making it to states in wrestling, Jacob Tilley's father William had a newspaper article framed for his son. Jacob had this to say, "It is a perfect setup of pictures. I never would have imagined it would look this nice." Jacob's mom added, "Priceless! Just priceless!"

Well, I can honestly say customers like you guys are priceless as well! Congratulations on your accomplishment.

"We have entrusted many pieces of our heirloom art to the good people at Hampton House. We have been delighted on every occaison and would recommend them to any one who want the vrey best. They have been able to find the right combination of framing and matting which make the object complete and as close to perfect as can be."

Here's a nice little piece that needed a small amount of love from Hampton House.  The customer was so pleased she ordered 10 more copies.

Mr. Colins brought in a dress his wife wore as a child.  We added a photo of her daughter wearing it, archivally preserved it and it's ready to hang for generations.

My Mom purchased watercolor original prints from an aspiring artist 25 years ago and we found them recently, tucked away, forgotten in a closet. I took them to Hampton House and had them framed and gave them to her this year for Christmas and she LOVED them! The Hampton House staff helped me select the perfect matting and frame and these will be treasures in our home forever! Thanks Hampton House!
