County Crafts Bespoke Picture Framing Service

Picture Framing Market Harborough

I don’t really like going in small shops. I always feel a bit awkward if I don’t buy anything and find myself making some lame excuse as to why I have to leave without making a purchase. On the flip side my brain says get what you need from a small independent instead of a big giant spreading the wealth more evenly. The problem for many small shopkeepers I think customers don’t know what to expect crossing threshold so choose to pass by instead. I know I don’t want to get trapped or be forced to engage in a confined space.

This is a shout out for small shops everywhere making a difference for their customers, adding value and genuinely going the extra mile to make the experience better.

I have only ever been in Country Crafts once. My home is complete, I don’t really buy framed art or gifts so not on my radar especially.

Although I came across some old quite rare photographs I decided to have framed and went to Country Crafts with the assignment.

The experience was so memorable I decided to share. I don’t remember the name of the shop keeper the experience I’ll never forget. It was so unusual and genuine I told a lot of people after the fact.

And when I was in Market Harborough the other day I snapped this picture with the intention of writing this to make that shopkeepers day when he reads it, just like he made mine a couple of years ago.

I am sure he won’t remember me, he serves loads of people each day and as I said I’ve only ever been in once, my pictures cost me about £100 each which was very reasonable I thought, bespoke picture framing is notoriously expensive because of all the labour involved.

If you like out of this world genuine customer service this is one shop where you’ll get it.

This shopkeeper will make you feel so good you’ll want to go back and even when you don’t need what he sells his good vibes and karma continue to spread.

Loved the work you did with my pictures and the memory of our funny meeting, there’s certainly no one else I would go to when I need more bespoke picture framing.

Lovely lovely shop.
