SHOUT OUT TO JAMES AND ANNA EVES AT CAPE ANN GICLEE

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Don’t you love the look of a white mat and white frame? James and Anna over at Cape Ann Giclée are now offering matting and framing. Their workmanship is pristine, exquisite really.

For the past several years I have been trudging to frame shops looking for white frames, cutting the mats myself, and generally not happy about the inordinate amount of time spent doing these tasks. Now you can go to Cape Ann Giclée and they not only have a beautiful selection of papers and options for printing, but all can be matted and framed, in either a plain white or plain black frame, and all for a very reasonable fee. Thanks James and Anna for a terrific (and greatly simplified) experience. I am shipping “Lily Pads in the Moonlight” tomorrow to my client in Aspen and I just know she is going to love it!

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Do you have a favorite Christmas carol or holiday music that you would like to share? For the past several years we have featured a twelve days before Christmas carol countdown and I would love to continue the tradition, beginning on the 13th of December. Please send your suggestions to kimsmithdesigns@hotmail.com or leave a comment in the comment section. Thank you!

This Tom Petty song always gets me in the mood for decorating our home and I’ve been blasting it loudly off and on all day, much to my husband’s dismay 🙂
