June Art Show
No Bad Ideas; The Art and Illustration of Ed Abbott
Ed Abbott combines illustration and design with making, to create his unique art. His primary subject matter is pop culture or low brow art. He utilizes a variety of media for his two and three dimensional pieces. Ed wants his creations to be as fun for people to look at, or own, as they were to make.
Join us on Friday, June 3, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM for the opening reception. Show continues through June 30.

Fall News and Shows!
A lot has been happening here at the Frame Shoppe!
We have new hours: Monday through Friday 11:00 to 6:00, Saturday 10:00 to 4:00
We have a new facade and almost have a new sign!
We are already busy framing for the holidays. Like many other industries we are having supply chain issues, so we recommend coming in as early as possible for any holiday framing projects.
We have a featured artist for November, and our annual Big Little Art Show is back! Opening reception Saturday, December 4, 6:00 to 10:00
Independence Day Closing and Construction
We will be closed Friday, July 2 through Monday, July 5 for Independence Day.
Our shopping center is getting a facelift! The entire facade is being updated. We will remain open during the construction. It’s a mess at this point, but long overdue. It will look great when it’s done, so bear with us!
Summer Hours, Appointments, Masks Required, and Supply Chain Issues.
Our Summer Hours are Monday through Friday 11:00 to 5:00, Saturday 10:00 to 4:00. Other times by appointment.
To provide more personalized service and avoid longer in store wait time, appointments are recommended for custom framing services, particularly for large or complicated orders.
We ask that customers wear masks.
We are still experiencing supply chain problems, so turnaround time is averaging 3 weeks and rush orders may not always be possible.
Updated Hours and News
We will continue to be working by appointment only for custom framing. This is the best way for us to control the number of people in the store at one time. We are still experiencing some supply chain issues with our vendors, so our current turnaround times are 2 to 4 weeks.
Gallery browsing and general shopping does not require an appointment Monday through Friday from 11:00 to 5:00.
Please call (302) 478-1163 or email talleyville@yahoo.com to schedule a time.
Thanks for your patience!
We're Now Open by Appointment and Have Gift Cards!
We’re back! Sort of.
Like many other small businesses, we’ve struggled through the past couple of months. We were working on opening a second store by purchasing the Fast Frame in Pike Creek. Covid-19 changed our plans. Long story short, we will only have the Talleyville store. We did some renovations and purchased some new equipment, so we’ve been busy, but not framing or making money!
We will be doing all framing consultations by appointment for a while to help minimize the number of people in the store at once. Please call us at (302) 478-1163 or email talleyville@yahoo.com to set up a time. We also encourage you to email photos of your artwork, along with any colors or styles you have in mind, ahead of time so we can prepare for your visit.
For now, there will be no browsing of the gallery. We hope to have a plan for this in early June.
Not ready to venture out just yet? We don’t blame you! We now have gift cards available. Call or email for details.
Stay safe, and we hope to see everyone again soon!
COVID-19 Update
We will be closed through May 15 in accordance with the state of Delaware’s closure of non-essential businesses. We will be open as soon as we’re allowed. Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram and join our email list by using the link on our homepage.
If you have questions, please email us at talleyville@yahoo.com
