I Did It Myself

Great service, price and conversation! Go meet Sandi, you’ll be glad you did.

Sandi is a pleasure to work with excellent work and quick turn around. Last Christmas she frames a family photo with two days of me dropping it and in time for the holiday.

Having an artistic, creative eye is a true gift– unfortunately one I don’t possess. For that reason, when faced with decorative decisions, I usually defer to a professional. I ran the Boston Marathon last year (2015) and have had a medal and a certificate hanging around my house for almost a year with no idea what to do with them. A friend suggested that I meet with a talented framer who has an eye and a knack for these type of things and so I headed to Lynn to meet with Sandi Watkins. She was incredibly pleasant, and easy to work with. She understood my concerns and factored my few restrictions into the design of the piece. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Sandi came up with a way to frame the two items creatively together, highlighting the beauty of both pieces. I couldn’t have pulled this off on my own if I tried. Thank you, Sandi!!!

I have asked Sandi to frame other prints before, but this time I just handed it to her and she handed it back to me framed a week later. I forgot to tell her how I wanted it, but she knew! How cool is that?

My daughter painted two rustic scenes in oils and we took them to the shop. Sandy said she was going to show us some suggested frames which she removed from the vast array of samples Velcroed to the walls. She told my daughter not to tell her what she liked about the samples, but rather the reasons she DID NOT like the ones Sandy chose, explaining that in this way, she would be able to assess our taste and tweak the choices. What a great way to do it. The woman was so nice and so knowledgeable about what would bring out the best in the paintings, and although we live in Danvers, we have found our new frame shop for sure. She does great work and we are so pleased we found her through the Lynn Chamber of Commerce.
