Happy Juneteenth!!
I am open today because I have too much work to catch up on to take the day off. Thank you all for that blessing!

Here’s a few historical facts around the celebration of Juneteenth….
• Emancipation Proclamation was signed and went into effect at midnight January 1, 1863.
• Official surrender of the Confederacy April 9, 1865
• Slavery continued in outlying areas, especially Texas, which was the westernmost point of the Confederate stronghold
• June 19, 1865 - arrival of over 2000 Union troops in Galveston Bay and the reading of General Order Number 3 “ The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor.”
• This was not just a peaceful proclamation-this was an armed enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation signed two years earlier.
• The 13th Amendment was ratified in December 1865
• It wasn’t until August 1866 that President Andrew Johnson formally declared the conflict over

Jazz Fest weekend is here!!! 🎷 And it got me thinking about collectible posters.

I’ve been digging into my personal collection of favorite Jazz Fest posters lately—some I’ve held onto for years—and finally starting to sort through them and design custom, professional framing for each piece. It’s been a fun process deciding what each poster deserves, and I’ll be offering some of these framed pieces for sale soon. The first one of the collection is almost complete, and I'm giving you a sneak peak!

If you’ve got collectible posters of your own, now’s the perfect time to give them the treatment they deserve. I also just shared a blog post with tips to consider when framing collectible posters (or buying ones already framed) — check it out if you’re looking for inspiration! https://www.frameshopinc.com/2026/04/23/28575/custom-framing-collectible-posters-jazz-fest/

More to come soon 👀
