Mr. Frame offers border options galore BY RUDY HOWELL
IF YOU HAPPEN to have swords,
Second World Wa r weapons, shark skeletons, or 2,000-yearold Pompeiian vases lying around your house in need of framing, we know just the place for you. Since 2015, Mister Frame, located at 2009 Tudor Glen, has seen— and framed—it all. “As a single mother, I don’t get to travel a lot, so I’m able to travel vicariously through our customers,” says manager, Alicia Marangoni.
A family-run custom picture framing business, Mister Frame offers a large selection of custom frames, matting, and conservation materials designed to ensure the longevity of your artwork and possessions. Aside from the obvious, the store also provides printing and digital photo restoration services as well as carries home décor items and needle craft supplies, making it one of two stores left in St. Albert along with Michaels to supply the latter. “We’re somewhat of a niche market,” Marangoni says.
