We’re Still Standing
by Hannah Schoechert, 7th grade student

Those twin towers
Standing tall with pride,
Fell with grieving hearts.
Stunned, America cried.

But we’re still standing.

Bin Laden tried
To crush our land,
But we stood our ground
With our flag in hand.

And we’re still standing.

Red for valor
And the blood that fell.
White for purity
Our heroes tell.
Blue for the justice
That will be done,
Proving once more
These colors don’t run.

And we’re still standing.

Good Morning Frameshop Friends!
As we all spend more time at home we are finding lots of projects to complete. Some of those projects include framing pictures and memorabilia. I personally love this. At this time, with the stay at home orders and all of my suppliers being closed because of those orders, I am not able to take new framing appointments. Please hold on to those precious items and call me for an appointment when restrictions are lifted. I will be happy to help you complete your framing projects once we are able to greet each other face to face. Until then, stay safe and love one another. I hope you all have a Happy Easter!

Debbie

Hello My Frame Shop Friends!
I am long overdue for an update. It’s been a very busy month full of moving heaving things. I’m completely moved out of my space in La Plata and I am currently working on setting up shop at home. I should be able to take new appointments toward the end of February. For those that have been patiently waiting, Thank You! I will start completing those orders as soon as I get all of the equipment set up and accessible.
Also, a BIG Thanks to my husband for his tireless efforts and his co workers for helping us with the exceptionally heaving things.

Dear Frame Shop Friends,

It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that Bernie’s Frame Shop will be leaving it’s home in La Plata. Unfortunately, the cost of doing business is becoming greater than what I feel I can reasonable charge my customers for picture framing. I have cut back expenses and staff as much as possible and it just isn’t enough. That combined with the on-line shopping culture and changing shopping habits has made it difficult for most of us in the picture framing industry.

I will continue to provide custom picture framing services from my home in King George, Va. The shop phone number will remain the same. Just call to make an appointment. Bridge tolls for my Maryland customers will be credited to the framing order. I can also bring the finished product to you in Charles County, as I have to pick my daughter up from school in La Plata everyday. I know this will not be as convenient, but I will be able to provide the same high quality product that Bernie’s Frame Shop has always given to its customers.

Our doors in La Plata will remain open until December 14. If you need anything before Christmas, please bring it in by October 26th. I will not be able to get shadow boxes done before the holidays. If you are not in a hurry for framing, you can place an order anytime before we close our doors and I will get them done in the new year. Once everything is moved and settled, I will be able to get orders done faster. Without a retail shop, I will have more time to create.

Speaking of the Holidays…now is a great time to get your Christmas gifts. EVERYTHING in the showroom will be deeply discounted. I have to empty a 4,000 square foot space in a short time. If there is something you have wanted, it WILL be on sale. Fixtures will be sold as well. If anyone is interested in buying lengths of picture frame moulding, please let me know.

A big thank you to my landlords Jake and Sandy Mitchell and Courtney Wilson. They have always treated me like family and kept my rent very reasonable. I would also like to thank you all for being the best customers. My dad and I have watched your families grow. We have framed for multiple generations of many families. It’s truly wonderful to know so many amazing people and share in all of your memories. I hope to continue the tradition.

Please stop by to say hello before December 14th.

All the best,
Debbie
