“We visited ‘Framed in time’ store last week! We were really struggling with a gallery wrapped canvas as we didn’t know how to separate the canvas from a heavily stapled wooden frame! And though it was not something the store specializes in, the very kind gentlemen John Fournier (who also owns the store) helped us out! We had about 8 frames and he was so sweet and kind to help us preserve our artworks! He is a top-notch human being and the store is the best in town for all kinds of frame related work! Do visit this store and meet the kind staff and lovely owner John too :)”
“My only complaint about this ratio establishment was the lack of communication regarding the pricing of tattoos. My husband and I came here to get tattoos and were at first quoted the consultation price...but later we were told our tattoos would cost more when we just got two names tattooed on us. It was confusing! But anyway, past the pricing experience, the actual tattoo font selection and consultation went seamlessly. We were happy with how our tattoos turned out and it wasn't painful at all. Even my husband who feels paper cuts are tremendously painful had no problem being tattooed! Our tattoo artist was named Deanna and she was very pleasant to deal with. I'm not sure I would return to this establishment as I wasn't the happiest with the ink type used. But, we had a good time during the duration we were tattooed here.”

18 Walden St, Concord“I landed in Concord to meet a client for dinner. As i was early I wandered into this arts snd crafts store. Upon noting the quality of workmanship I mentioned to the clerk - whom I later found to be the owner- an idea for a pair of "tear-drop gem stone earrings." I was told they might have an artisan who would be able to create my feeble sketch. Within a few days... to my surprise they emailed me with a photo of gem stones, sketch and a quote. Very reasonable compared to other jewelers in the same berg, no less. Gave her a credit card and got a delivery date. A few days later another email offering a variety of gold clasps. A few weeks later I picked them up and they were stunning. WOW... Seamless, excellent quality and reasonably priced ... Concord, MA no less. GO”

25 Main St, Concord“Pleasant lighting and well organized space. Gallery owner and artist guests created a friendly opening event. Purchase process for available works was straight forward. New selections of ceramic art seem to be regularly organized and some smaller pieces of past collections are available. Location in Concord was easy to find.”
“I highly recommend for your custom framing but they have such and Interesting collection of items, you should stop there for those. The staff is friendly and always welcoming. It's a little bit of "happy" when you walk in the door.”

268 Great Rd, Acton“I had four photographs framed here, three large and one the size of a sheet of paper. The gentleman who helped me was excellent at helping me pick frames and decide whether to have them matted. It was expensive, but for the quality it was similar to other framing stores, and done within the time frame estimated. The pictures look lovely in our living room, and the frames compliment the photos and wall color perfectly!”
“We go apple picking every fall and we’ve gone to a lot of different orchards and farms in the area. This is the first organic farm we’ve been to and the smallest. We picked a half a bussel of apples that didn’t look as amazing as the other farms apples. But after I washed them, they look gorgeous and my husband and I agree that these have the best flavor yet. We’ve really enjoyed the different varieties and they all taste equally good as a snacking apple or baked into something. The crimson crisp is my favorite.We took the time to walk through the sculpture garden and it was so peaceful and full of beautiful art. Once in the woods, the sculptures kind of blended into them. Anne’s bone yard is my favorite and this is the best time to visit. The woods are so lovey and teaming with life and they made it magical.We had a lovely time chatting with the owner and the main farmer and they are so friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they produce. No wonder the food, art, and nature go so well together and are of exceptional quality.”

“I've taken my kids here two summers in a row for various drama camps. Their staff is very friendly, very accommodating and very inclusive. I love the sense of accomplishment my children get from working as a team and putting on a production and the Arts Alliance does a great job creating an atmosphere of fun and learning.”
“I can’t speak highly enough of the experience of having Dave make a beautiful cabinet to hold our 55 inch TV. He took time to walk me through the studio in Sudbury. He’s clearly passionate about what he does- never tried to upsell me. His ideas for the arts and craft like cabinet were spot on. He was thoughtful and generous with his time. Accommodated my schedule and turned up on time (and with us own mini vacuum cleaner ) Exceptional in every way. Can’t speak highly enough of him and his artistic vision.”
