Could you clarify a bit where you mean when you say toward the back.....there is the main aisle with several side aisles....as I recall.
I would like to find the ladies you recommend.

Center 3/4 towards the back entering from main parking area off of 441. Get a directory when you enter, it may help.

Can't remember the cost, we had them framed 3-4 years ago. We checked Michaels and another place on the corner of 441 and 466 first, very costly. The people at the flea market have a picture framing company in Tavares I think, we dropped the picture off at the flea market one weekend and picked it up there the next. I think the price was 1/2 of what was quoted at the other places. Take your pictures there and talk to them, they also guided us with color suggestions to compliment the pictures. They are on the corner of the main isle and " G "

Thanx for the additional info.
Do you know if they will repair? For example we have a couple of large framed art works that have broken glass or simply aged works that need new matting, etc.

They are in aisle G. Not sure if it is north or south but they go all the way to the middle.

If you want to buy new prints, ART.com is a great web site to order all kinds of art, framed and otherwise. Much more reasonable than local stores.
