Here is a great example of a shadow box! This is a framed scarf from the Elvis impersonator that came to the casino. The background is a collage of photos taken during the concert, and below is a picture of the woman who received this wonderful gift with Elvis, and her tickets!
This is a great example of a VERY fancy framing job for a wedding invitation, wedding certificate, and the broken glass from the wedding ceremony. WOW!
Nancy Johns Gallery & Framing did up this t-shirt signed by Cesar Millan for the Windsor Essex County Humane Society!
concert tickets, framed by Nancy Johns Gallery & Framing
This handmade wooden stamp, collected by an avid traveller, has been framed with no glass. It’s quite unique!
What a great idea for a gift! A running factory race number, and pictures from the big race!
This American flag was framed using our 65% UV Anti-Reflective glass. It is such a wonderful keepsake, and the flag will be preseved forever.
Framing a wedding invitation is a fantastic gift idea for the bride and groom!
These war medals were flawlessly framed on black velvet. The deep frame has been made to look like a shadow box, with matting cut and adhered on the inside sides of the frame.
Newspaper articles, a photograph, and an actual baby clothing hanger of the Dionne Quintuplets have been framed to preserve memories in an antique style.
This four leaf clover was framed at our smallest size of only 4″ x 4″! So cute!
These red paper cut-outs looking fantastic in a red laquered wood frame. What a perfect fit!
This is an example of how you can make two smaller frames look like one substantial frame. Our clients really needed this piece to make a statement, so we doubled up two frames for them. WOW!
These two pieces were restored by Jim, our restoration and appraisals professional! Once the paintings were brought back to mint condition, we framed them to match for our client. We are VERY proud to these two beautiful antique pieces.
This is a pretty cool way to utilize a wood frame that comes in all different colours!
This drawing on velvet really impressed us! We think the framing looks pretty good too 
See the photo of the actual dog below…what a great rendering using pastel by a local artist!
This 42″ x 78″ tapestry has been stretched over a stretcher bar, just like a canvas!
Here is an example to show how canvases don’t always have to be put on a stretcher bar. This one, purchased during a client’s travels, has been mounted and framed with two woods. The smaller yellow wood frame matches perfectly and gives the piece a really unique hint of colour!
This is a great way to keep your concert memories. One of our clients (and special friend!)frames all of her concert tickets together at the end of each year.
This is a wonderful photo of Former Windsor Symphony Orchestra Conductor, Maestro John Morris Russell, holding his parting gift (framed by us), with Chorus President Peter Antaya.
We also framed a very sentimental gift, and it even comes with a lovely story! Check it out:
I cannot express what a wonderful birthday gift Heather gave me by way of your gallery. It’s not too often I get choked up but the presentation of “Fencing Pliers” was absolutely wonderful. The importance of the two tools in my life made them a wonderful gift.
The newer and sharper nosed set (most people can’t tell the difference) were
owned by my father and were always easy to find in the tool box of the 1969
Ford 3000: I still own the tractor. They went everywhere with him and
served many purposes around the farm beyond fencing, from hammer to sliver
extractor. I never thought of my dad as a surgeon but in the middle of a
project he improvised in what ever way he had to. My father is gone now but
every time I see the pliers I am reminded of his life lessons of integrity,
honesty and enjoying the people around me.
The older (and maybe wiser) set were owned by my mother’s father. In his
later years he stayed with us for a time and he was more easily found either in
the fields or the woods rather than in the house. I think he more than
helped out since his eighty some years of experience were always useful for
livestock husbandry, arboriculture, horticulture and general opinions of the
world. Like my father, “Grampa” is long since passed but he
provided his own life lessons; have fun, enjoy the company of women and always
talk to strangers.
I have my own set of pliers that are still active in service and over their
relatively shorter life have grown smooth in spots and rough in others (much
like me). They may never be presented like the two I received for my
birthday but all three are cherished for not only what they have done but for
what they continue to do each day.
DIFFERENT KINDS OF GLASS TO CHOOSE FROM
If you need something framed with glass and would like to have hardly any glare on the piece, anti-reflective glass is perfect! Non-glare glass creates a frosted look to your image, and sometimes leads to dimming colours. AR glass keeps all original colours in tact, and removes almost all glare that regular glass can cause. AR glass comes with either 70% or 90% UV protection.
These posters are 34″ x 36.” The piece on the left has AR glass, and the piece on the left has regular glass.
This was one of the most thoughtful Christmas presents we ever helped with 
Nancy framed this Olympic Torch for Mayor Eddie Francis! She really can frame pretty much anything
Original art cards are a perfect addition to any special gift. Since they are small original paintings, they are ready to frame! Here is an example of Jude Quick’s original watercolour art card that was purchased and brought in for framing:
We frame jerseys regularly. The largest size jersey can be framed for $450.00. Anything smaller will go down in price (kids and baby jerseys are great gifts to frame too!) Here is a great example of one of our jerseys:
This gorgeous original painting was framed for the owner of the dress! The painting is by Stephanie Nagle. If you are interested in having your favourite dress painted, please contact the gallery for Stephanie’s information at 519.945.2222
It is 43″ x 68″ and has a beautiful ornate wooden frame by Omega Moulding.
I was wondering if you could give “credit” to Stephanie Nagle on the dress used on the site somehow. Stephanie is trying to get some commissions going and heard you were using the image.
Thanks
