The alphabet was originally invented so that babies wouldn't realize they'd been tricked into thinking a few crummy wooden blocks were toys. However, it can also be used to string letters into words, as this Groupon proves.

Choose from Four Options

  • $59 for a standard black or brown 39.5"x15.5" framed name (a $134.99 value)
  • $69 for a deluxe black or brown 39.5"x15.5" framed name (a $154.99 value)
  • $59 for a wooden gallery-block (a $134.99 value)
  • $69 for a standard signature board with white or beige matting (a $154.99 value)

All pictures are printed in black-and-white or sepia tone. The standard and deluxe framed names can accommodate up to 11 characters in the word or name while the gallery-block and signature boards can only hold up to nine letters.

With each shipped order, Frame The Alphabet will include a $75 gift certificate for a future purchase.

Frame The Alphabet

When photographed just right, the bend of a wrought-iron beam or the curve of a stalk of wheat can look just like a letter of the alphabet. This creative observation captured the attention of photographer Crystal Copeland––a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography––who became inspired to seek out more outdoor features that could double as letters. With the help of her business-savvy husband, Lee, Copeland strung these letters into words and began selling them at an online store—Frame The Alphabet.

The site's interactive letter bank houses a vast collection of Crystal's photos, which can be used to spell out names and words. You may wish to work in visual thematics, crafting names entirely out of sports images for the family athlete or creating an ironic counterpoint to words such as nature with images of city signs, industrial faucets, and spinning cogs. The selected word is then encased within a brown or black 39.5"x15.5" frame made from real pinewood or printed onto a single, wooden gallery block, which comes ready to hang. The signature-board option further customizes the piece with a blank matte board and an 8"x10" space where you can insert a personal picture.

The Groupon Guide to: Living with a Secret

Rarely does a soul get off this planet without seeing or doing a truly terrible thing. Keep it to yourself with these helpful secret-concealing tips:

  • Talk loudly and constantly about everything except the hidden shame that gnaws at your insides like a thousand tiny, chittering bear traps.
  • Distract yourself with activities and spectacles, all the while never addressing the private nightmare that coils around your heart, ever tightening like a boa constrictor suffocating its prey.
  • Try meditation and yoga to silence the warped and twisted version of your own voice that howls behind your eardrums, begging, pleading at every moment to be released by the decency and dignity of confession.
  • Get a pet. Tell them everything. Make sure it is a pet that no one will think twice about if you keep it forever in a cage, like a bird or a gecko. You're trapped in this together now.
  • Consult a doctor about having your mouth sealed over with a cool American-flag sticker—no one questions a patriot.

Why are more and more people having their mouths sealed shut?
