My Private Christmas Showing

The photos shown here were taken of My Framers Holiday Window display. She regularly uses my drawings and watercolors as framing examples, which for me is like having a private showing that is changed out with the seasons.


The store front is recessed several feet from the side walk and has huge display windows. The right side is always devoted to her framing and my artwork. The back wall has a huge wreath with a 'framed' limited edition print of Mr Lincoln in the center. (difficult to see)

More of my framed work hangs on either side of the wreath and scattered throughout the side window are various prints and other small framed pieces.

She frames my work and doesn't charge me a dime until it sells. My work shows off her framing and her framing enables me to display my art. How much better can it get?

These last two photos are of the other side of her display windows...showcasing the works of the 'stitch group' that meets at her establishment each week. The display window is full of the most beautiful knitted and crocheted slippers, capes, sweaters, scarves, purses, hats....and on and on.

"Serendipity Framing and Needlework" is located in downtown Lincoln, Ill. right on the square. The wonderfully decorated windows attract much attention especially as our local movie theater is close by. You can always find people (day or night) studying the display windows, smiling and calling out...as they point out 'new finds' to their friends.

What a blessing it was when God placed Jeanie in my path. If you are ever in the vicinity, you simply must stop by her shop. Women come from quite a distance to buy her wonderful yarns and her framing, well...it's simply a work of art in itself!

What an absolutely gorgeous window - enhanced by your stunning works of art. Thank you for sharing these beautiful images. Sure wish I could see it in person (and you too!) Merry Christmas!

So very beautiful Marsha! As always, I'm so impressed - with your artwork, your marketing, the way you make the most of all the various avenues of sharing your art. May you have fabulous, healthy holidays!

Ruth,
Yes, having my work displayed at my framers shop has been such a blessing. I'm believing that I am on the road to good health and looking forward to a great 2010.

Padgett and Jennifer,
