How fancy of a frame or how much do you want to pay? I have bought frames at all of the following places:

Kohls
Target
Walmart
Michael's
Hobby Lobby
Bed, Bath and Beyond
Joanne Fabrics

Kohls can be a little high but tends to have more frames for specific types of pictures (ie: Family, Sisters, Friends, etc). Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond both have decent looking frames at reasonable prices. Michael's carries anything from simple no-frills to customized frames. Have found specialized frames (like colage type) from Joanne Fabrics. Hobby Lobby is much like Michael. Walmart....I'm sure you know. I have also made my own frames which haven't always been the fanciest but made the picture more meaningful to me. If you are an afficianado of flea markets and garage sales ALWAYS be on the look-out. It can be almost as enjoyable to take a picture to fit the frame as find a frame to fit the picture.

And of course digital frames open up a whole new world with the ability to add multiple pictures, incorporate music, operate by remote control, change via wi-fi or internet and probably other features since I have last looked at them.

Check out Michel Co. on line. They carry frames folders, and albums for the Pro. This is not Michael's!

If you looking for a multiple image frame, try your local craft store, up here in Canada we have Micheals and they have a great selection of frames.


Michael's is here in the U.S. as well.

I buy all my frames from: http://www.frameusa.com/index.htm

I buy all my mats from: http://www.matboardplus.com/

Both are Made in USA. Both have what I consider a great variety, and prices are right. Orders can be placed on-line or via 800 phone number.

I have never had a problem with either. My clients are completely satisfied.

When in a bind, I shop local Michael's and A.C. Moore shops, and only buy US made products.

I hope this helps.
