Treading Lightly ..... The New Eco Range

Back to main blog page

9 sleeps until Christmas! Is it just me, or did everyone else lose track of all time this year? I hope it’s not the first sign of aging… ?

With Christmas just around the corner, we’ve been building up into a frenzy of excitement. Like Santa’s elves, we’re hammering away night and day; making frames at warp speed so they make it under the Christmas trees in time. It’s not unusual for me to be here at 4am on weekends.... and no, it’s not because I don’t have a life, it’s because I am so passionate and dedicated to my art! (Okay, so I don’t have a life, but its fun to pretend that I do while I’m working!!)

So… for your Christmas shopping pleasure, we have ready made frames of every shape and colour, we have do-it-yourself supplies, and we’re always on stand-by to help you design your own frames.

This Christmas, we have 2 big announcements:

#1 – We’re running our inaugural Christmas Competition on a $100 voucher to spend on any of our products. If you’d like to be in the draw, you can put your name in the box at our factory (8/104 Newmarket Road, Windsor) or simply email your details to us and we’ll throw it in for you. a1frames@bigpond.net.au . With your permission, we’ll also add you to the mailing list for our quarterly newsletter, which has lots of offers of further discounts and member specials.
And… drum roll please…

#2 – We’re launching the first ever Eco Range of frame mouldings!
• Eco Choice is a new range of picture frame mouldings, made using environmentally friendly materials and processes.
• Eco Choice timber is harvested from managed plantations, carefully grown and controlled using sustainable forestry techniques.
• Eco Choice colours have been produced using water based and solvent free finishes.
• Eco Choice range is committed to helping the environment for generations to come b donating a proportion of sales to Australian conversation initiatives.

We are so excited to offer the Eco Choice range for custom framing and our DIY clients, and to make our small contribution to sustainability. We hope that our customers will be inspired to use mouldings as much as possible that aren’t derived from rain forest timber and are produced with integrity. One small step for framers… and one big step for mankind! (Oh, there I go again with my delusions of grandeur!

Happy Christmas, every body. We look forward to serving all your framing needs in the New Year!
