I finally wandered into PJ's Frame and Gallery last night. I've lived not far from it for 8 years and have "always meant to stop in." Their window is always full of wonderful looking gift items, but I generally assume that galleries charge a premium for such items.
It was a very sweet surprise to find beautiful artist-made ornaments selling for as little as $5 (the most expensive I saw was $12!); hand-carved Santa sculptures as low as $22; and enameled metal tree sculptures started at $30! The gorgeous hand-carved geese were $250 - $550 (far too rich for me, but truly, they are magnificent and worth every penny).
For hand-made items, I'd expected quite a heftier tag and was really delighted to leave with a wonderful gift under my arm.
I will be back to check their framing services.
The only downside was that the pictures on the wall did little to captivate me, and the selection of molding options (which I did not study carefully) seemed very standard -- i.e. good neighborhood shop -- but their customer service was absolutely delightful and it's quite possible that they will absolutely stun me with their capabilities -- I do suspect they'll be fairly priced and that's a delight to find!
