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
