From Egg Hunt to Wall Hunt: How Small Keepsakes Make Great Frames
Easter isn’t just about eggs and baskets—it’s also about the little things that end up stuck to the fridge, tossed in a drawer, or forgotten in a shoebox. At Framers Market & Gallery, we often hear stories about keepsakes that feel important but don’t quite know what to do with: a child’s painted Easter egg, a tiny straw basket, a handmade card with crooked letters, or a pressed wildflower from a spring hike. These aren’t “museum pieces,” but they’re the kind of objects that carry a lot of feeling. That’s where framing can be a little playful. Instead of thinking of a frame as something for “very important” photos only, think of it as a way to give everyday moments a small stage. A shadowbox frame can hold: A dyed egg, carefully preserved and slightly glossy under glass. A miniature Easter basket sitting on a soft mat. A child’s handprint or footprint in spring colors. A mix of small photos and a few flat trinkets arranged in a simple grid. The fun part is in the conversation: choosing a mat color that feels like spring, deciding whether the frame should be quiet and simple or a little bit bold, and thinking about which room in the house would feel right for that memory. Sometimes the best choice is the one that makes you say, “Yep, that’s us.” If you’re in Prescott and want to see how a few everyday Easter pieces can come together in one frame, you’re welcome to stop by, bring along a few small keepsakes, and just talk through ideas. There’s no pressure, just a shared love of slowing down enough to notice the little things Easter brings each year.
