Hi Folks,

A quick note to annouce that I’m retiring.

Yep, come January or February, I’ll be hanging up my tools and going on, hopefully, a long, long vacation with my wife and partner.

I’ve enjoyed almost thirty years of creating the best framing we could for some amazing artworks and images. We’ve been in three locations over the years; starting in Fairfield with Image Maker Frames in 1986. We then opened Broadmead Gallery & Framing as the first store in Broadmead Village. Three years later, we closed Fairfield to concentrate on one location. Eight years after that we moved to our present location in Royal Oak Shopping Centre.

We have created unique displays of everything from rice cakes to wedding dresses, toast to hockey sticks; and it’s always been the most rewarding thing to see our customer’s eyes when we’ve managed to surprise and delight you with the results.

My sister De has been with me in the business from the very beginning, and she says she’ll stay on for another couple of years. Her creativity and attention to detail has made us the foremost framers in the city for needleworks and creative crafts.

I know I’ll miss seeing you wonderful folks coming into the shop, and I’ll miss the challenges of framing those ‘impossible’ pieces, like the dagger and sand, the football, the 18 foot long frame, to name a few.

But there are new challenges out there that I want to try.

So, if you get a chance, drop by and say hello. Better yet, bring in one more beautiful artwork, and challenge us to make the most beautiful framed piece we can before I hang it up for good.

If you do that, and bring us one last piece of art, I’ll put UV filtering glass on absolutely FREE!

Cheers,

Bruce
