#framing

Black Friday marks the beginning of the holiday season. So, we at Untold Patriots Stories thought it was a good time to discuss how to score a touchdown for those on your shopping list.  

For our Thanksgiving week episode, we welcome the owner of New England Picture. NEP has been around since the late 80's. They will frame your cherished sports memorabilia or heirlooms and, also, provide you with new autographed items of all sports and teams including our beloved Patriots. You can find their locations in New England or have items shipped to you at www.NewEnglandPicture.com.

Jeff talks about how the industry has changed through the years and how our local professional teams' championships effected the business. What are their best-selling items?  What are the must-have items for Pats fans? Which current Patriots has been his favorite to work with so far?

New England Picture also holds autograph signings, both private and public (where the signer appears at a NEP store). For example, they have Patriots and NFL HOFer, Richard Seymour, scheduled to appear at the South Shore Plaza in Braintree, MA on Monday, December 4th from 7:00-8:00pm. Please see their website for details.

Jeff doesn't just run a sports memorabilia business. He is a knowledgeable fan as well. He gives us his take on the current Pats team and his thoughts on their future. Spoiler alert: he squashes some of Scott's negativity. 

Untold Patriots Stories wishes you all a wonderful Thanksgiving and a successful Black Friday shopping!  




  

Meet Christina, owner and operator of Frame Masters Gallery in Audubon Park. From an early age, Christina always found happiness in designing, building, dismantling, and tinkering. In her shop, she gets to do all of the above while also figuring out how to frame just about anything you can think of. Even more incredible, she also takes the extra time to really get to know and understand her customers, making sure everyone is heard and leaves her shop with a smile (or crying happy tears.) Either way, it’s all very inspiring. You can also visit her shop online at http://Fmgorlando.com or on Instagram @theframemastersgallery

Amanda paints landscapes of Alaska, wild animals, seaside attractions and pet portraits.
She also accepts commission based request for unique art creations.
