Framed Love Letters
Make handwritten memories last!
In a world that moves at the speed of a click, is anything more meaningful than a handwritten note? Letter writing has become a lost art—replaced by emails and texts that are convenient, but rarely personal. There’s something undeniably romantic about ink on paper: the curve of familiar penmanship, the charm of a vintage postcard, the quiet stories tucked into every fold and crease.
A love letter from your partner, a quick note a friend left on your desk, a postcard sent from across the world—these are more than words. They’re moments. Framing preserves not just the paper, but the memory, turning something fleeting into something lasting.
Grandpa’s Love Letters
Did your grandfather write love letters to your grandmother while he was away in the military? Now that they’re gone, those letters feel even more precious. They offer a rare glimpse into their voices, their humor, their tenderness—the quiet details that made up their love story.
Framing a letter or two doesn’t just preserve the paper. It keeps their story present, honoring the connection they shared and allowing it to be felt for generations to come.
Golden History
Historical letters and documents are more than paper—they’re tangible pieces of the past. Many are valuable antiques, carrying stories, signatures, and moments that shaped history. They deserve to be honored and carefully preserved for generations to come.
Elevate their presence. Adorn them in gold. This is the perfect opportunity to choose rich, ornate frames that reflect their significance—fanciful details, gilded finishes, and timeless craftsmanship that complement the weight of history they hold.
The Romance of Travel
Postcards make wonderful framed displays. Whether it’s a vintage card sent decades ago by a relative or a colorful souvenir from a friend’s recent adventure, each one captures a moment in time.
Pair it with a favorite photo or two to tell the full story—where they were, who they were with, and why it mattered. Framed together, those small pieces become a beautiful snapshot of memory and place.
Precious Words
What a beautiful surprise—your dear friend gifting you a poem, lovingly written and illustrated just for you. Moments like that deserve more than a drawer or a keepsake box.
Frame it. Let it live where you can see it every day—a reminder of friendship, creativity, and the thoughtfulness behind every word and brushstroke.
Lot for Sale
Back in the day, a handwritten bill of sale was all it took—a signature, a date, and a handshake. Simpler times, captured in ink.
You won’t see documents like that anymore. Frame these rare glimpses into the past and preserve a piece of everyday history—humble, authentic, and full of character.
Just for Fun
Frame a stack of letters still tucked in their envelopes. The mystery of what’s inside invites curiosity, turning your display into a conversation piece full of intrigue and nostalgia.
Pro Tip
Most letters, postcards, and recipe cards are written edge to edge, with meaningful details filling every inch of the page. Instead of covering any of it with a traditional mat opening, consider float mounting—placing the piece on top of the mat so all edges remain visible.
This approach preserves every word, every signature, every tiny flourish of handwriting. Nothing is hidden, and the entire story can be seen exactly as it was written.

For the ultimate in preservation, choose mats made from “Rag” or 100% cotton. Cotton is as pure as it gets, ensuring that your letters and keepsakes will remain safe and legible for generations to come. As a bonus, these mats often come in soft, subtle colors that beautifully complement vintage items, enhancing their charm without overpowering them.
