thinking about gifts for you and yours?
As the days grow shorter and the air becomes crisp, there's a palpable excitement in the air. The holiday season is just around the corner, beckoning us to immerse ourselves in warmth, love, and a touch of sparkle. And what better way to embrace the festive spirit than by indulging ourselves and our loved ones with a thoughtful gift? Whether it's a beautifully adorned picture frame to capture cherished memories, a handcrafted piece of artwork, or perhaps a combination of both, the possibilities are endless at Andover Picture Framing.
Spring is About to Spring
With Mothers Day not far away, it marks the start of a seasonal time of year much loved by all. When Spring arrives and we emerge from the cold dark days of winter (Let’s be honest, Autumn and Winter of 2022/2023 has been a both a wet and cold affair!), the Sun comes out, the birds sing, the inspects start to buzz and along with the sap in trees rising, our spirits do also. It’s a colourful and magical time of year when nature comes back to life and we experience those lovely spring flowers bursting through!
Fanatical About Film Art
The Christmas period often brings with it some very different items that need picture framing. It’s wonderful to celebrate and show-off our “fandom” and a well chosen picture frame, layout and mount design can really make those precious photo’s, pictures and fan artefacts really stand out. Much like their subject matter they become a piece worth celebrating, displaying and talking about with others.
Not just simply promotional posters (although we have done some wonderful examples of these) - Recently we had the pleasure of framing a couple of TV / Film (and book!) related fan art pieces.
One Word… “Christmas”

Celebrating Good memories - Making a House a Home
The summer is often a time when great memories are made. We all have our own ways of capturing those moments
Local News Interview with Andover Picture Framing
During the warm month of June, we did a live stream video with our local Business Improvement District (BID) organisation. It was wonderful an opportunity to talk about our excellent picture framing business, get a view of the shop and meet the owner.
70 Amazing Years
In 2022, Her Majesty The Queen will become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee after 70 years of service.
We will be closing the shop and celebrating Her Majesty’s historic reign over the Platinum Jubilee Central Weekend from 2nd to 5th June.
Forgotten Treasures
Staying positive is so important for all of us as we navigate life. The framing of pictures, art and mementos that mean something special to the owner can really help. When we speak to people, time and again we hear phrases like “Yeah, I’ve been meaning to get this framed for years…” and “I’ve had this photo on display in a closed draw for far too long”.
Seeing your own art, photos, prints, posters, pictures or memorabilia expertly framed and displayed to their best can help enhance those happy recollections.
