<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Picture framing is a job and some days it is all sawdust and paper cuts. Other days we get a note like this....</strong></p>

<p><strong><em>Hi! <br />
My name is Corey C. and I just received the frames I ordered<br />
from your company. I wanted to send an email to thank you and your<br />
company for the great product and great experience. I was very pleased to receive a discount on the shipping. I was also very happy with the quality of the product. I will definitely be coming back for more orders.</p>

<p>The frames were for my mother and my two aunts. Their older sister<br />
(also my aunt) passed away one year ago. She spent her late teens in a girl group in the 60s. I searched far and wide for a copy of her<br />
album. I finally found them and gave them as a gift. It was a great<br />
moment for my family. Thank you for helping make my vision come true.</p>

<p>Here is a picture of the gifts.....</em><br />
</strong><br />
<center><img alt="3woman.jpg" src="http://www.salinepictureframe.com/news/archives/3woman.jpg" width="400" height="299" /><br />
<strong>Know someone who was in the band? Our <a href="http://www.salinepictureframe.com/showroom/category/record-album-frames/">record album frames</a> may be the perfect gift.</strong><br />

<description><![CDATA[<center><img alt="framed-albums.jpg" src="http://www.salinepictureframe.com/news/archives/framed-albums.jpg" width="400" height="392" />

<p><strong>We knew that someday they would catch up. </p>

<p>This is an article from last Sunday’s <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2010/09/17/fashion/20100919-PULSE-2.html">New York Times</a> of an album display at a new gallery shop in New York called Gagosian Shop. For those of us who are young/old enough to remember the hours spent pouring over our vinyl album covers, these are works of art as well as documents of social history, our history. </p>

<p>Framing them and hanging them on our wall makes great sense. These are specific to our taste, full of memories, and an affordable way to decorate a wall. We offer several styles of displaying them as well as archival matting and backing and UV protection glass.</p>

<p>We even offer frames for the beloved 45. (If you are young enough to not know what a 45 is, email me and I’ll explain.)</p>
