Frame Source, Boston?

sara505

I've just returned from half a day's worth of trying to find a 10x15 mat/16x20 frame combo here in Boston for a rush order, due today.

I tried Zeff - sometimes a good source, but not dependable - no luck there; also Blick and Bed, Bath, and Beyond (which, believe it or not sometimes has good stuff) - all to no avail.

I ended up at my old haunt-Bay State Color, in Hanover, a good hour's drive round trip, where I scored what I needed.

I can cut my own mats, but am not set up for it here.

The funny thing is, Mosher Photo, a mom-and-pop photo store on the island, has a great selection of frames, including my oft-sought after 10x15 combo, but I did not think to pick one up on my way off yesterday.

It baffles me as to why the mat/frame industry has not picked up on the need for the 10x15, full frame product.

At any rate, to make my life a little easier next time - does anyone have a good source of mats and frames in the Boston area?

Thank you in advance.

PS - I've been wondering, for years, why post titles are in bold font, and others are not. How do you do this?

titles appear bold only for the threads in which there are new posts unread by you

Really? That seems plausible, except that a couple of threads I read through are still bold.

Okay, now I see how it works.

Anyway, back to frames in Boston...

There's a small place on Huntington Ave; right across from the Pru. I've never been in, but it may be worth giving them a call.
