Shameless plug: my wife runs a frame shop. Really small operation, just her and a single part-time employee but she does great work. Not sure what your budget is, custom isn't cheap.

I too am glad to have the rain back. The cold was fun at first but so many days in a row at or below freezing is rough. Definitely nice to pull the raincoat back out of the closet.

    my wife runs a frame shop

Oh yes? Tell me more! Anywhere near Burien?

I have one triptych that I need to frame, but that's the only "fancy" one. The others just need simple matte and frame. I'm paying a local Burien shop about $150/ea to frame a couple of others.

She's over in Columbia City. About to move her shop up the street to Hillman City.

Excellent! I shall bring her some business, soon.

(And while I am there, I can go to the bakery and get one of those bagel-wrapped hotdogs from the butcher's shop next door! LOVE those things...)

Your wife is lucky. A frame shop must be a hell of a lot of fun to run.

It has its ups and downs. Overall she's much happier running her own business than working for someone else.
