Get yourself some bargain picture frames

Beek · June 2010

Walking up from tube today, saw John Jones were having a "jumble sale"... A massive warehouse clearance... tons and tons of beautiful picture frames, from £3 upwards - most 10 quid though. All sorts of styles, lots of sets of matching ones, plain wood, guilded baroque style, plain black, silver, you name it. I had to make a return visit. Mostly big ones - measuring 50cm plus, well worth a browse!

Oh bumchops, why does everything happen when I'm away? I am desperate for picture frames and the larger and more baroque the better. Did you notice if it's just this weekend?

Beek · June 2010

Yes, it's just this weekend, Sat + Sun.

Beek · June 2010

Just read this page, maybe you could make an appointment? <<http://www.johnjones.co.uk/john-jones-news/john-jones-jumble-sale.aspx>>;

Just chatting to the guy. After today they'll accept visitors by appointment only. I may well buy something quite silly from them.

JaneDoe · June 2010

They have some great stuff and it's very cheap. I just bought a frame for a massive flyposter I have been wanting to get framed for ages and it was £10.

miss annie · June 2010

Thank you all for the info. I called them and am going in for a rummage at lunchtime today.

tosscat · June 2010

I got a lovely sort of perspex block frame which is perfect for a poncho I've been looking to have framed.

Kate Jones · September 2010

We still have lots of very cheap and very beautiful frames for sale - anyone who is interested should let me know and we'll organise to open the store room up for a rummage. There are some absolute bargains - plus various art supplies (stretched canvases, brushes, primers).

andiebrown · September 2010

I actually really need some frames and my sister would be really interested in the art supplies - i'd love to come and have a rummage in the store room, please

Kate Jones · September 2010

no problem, are you able to come in during the week at all?

applehead · September 2010

hi kate, what is the protocol for coming along to buy art materials - i just live 2 mins away....so wish you were still the art materials shop

bennyfromtheblok · September 2010

Hi Kate, any plan to open on the weekend again?

Kate Jones · September 2010

@applehead - we miss the art materials shop too! was such a great team and lovely artist clients... but we just couldn't compete with online discount prices. where do you get your materials from now? cass art seems pretty ambitious - just opened a big store in hampstead and wants to go national - and always seems to be offering huge discounts.

we're going to open on another weekend soon - just need to plan it in, but in the meantime if you want to pop in during the week at all just email me kate.jones@johnjones.co.uk and i can arrange for someone to open up the storeroom.

miss annie · September 2010

'Art for Art's sake' in Muswell Hill is quite good for art and craft materials. I'm a big fan of Cowling and Wilcox in Soho though and prefer them to Cass.

andiebrown · September 2010

@Kate Jones - yes, i can come in on a weekday. Just checking with my Sister which days she can be free and then i'll email you. Thanks

Kate Jones · September 2010

I've just had a look around the store room again and there is LOADS of good stuff - some really large frames as well as small. gilded silver, gold, aluminium, wood.... plus lots of art, some really fantastic b&w and colour photography, artist stretchers, glazes and ad hoc bits and pieces. we could open for a couple of hours on sat 25 september in the morning if enough people are interested - 10am - 12pm.

Arkady · September 2010

Regrettably I'm away that weekend or I'd be very enthusiastic. A

ActionVerb · September 2010

I missed the last store room sale, so would be very interested in this one.

Mirandola · September 2010

I'd be interested too.

bennyfromtheblok · September 2010

Yep, I'll be there....

miss annie · September 2010

I'm away then but would like to pop over at lunchtime on a weekday please. I'm very interested in buying a couple more of your gilded frames - will give you a call.

warbplag · September 2010

I'd love to be there! Please do open up then!

tgot · September 2010

i'd definitely come if you open on a saturday

berrynice · September 2010

me too! please do open again!!

missisclack · September 2010

Me too! But alas I shall be away on 25th too. Could you be pewrsuaded to open tomorrow? (I know, an ambitious request given that it's 2.45pm on Friday)...

Kate Jones · September 2010

I'm afraid we're not going to open this Saturday - down to personal circumstances at the moment. But I promise we will open on a Saturday very soon, just for the stroudgreen.org members and I will post the date and times a few weeks in advance so everyone has lots of notice.
