Much like brain surgery, framing a picture requires a skillful expert or you'll risk losing your most precious memories. Place your mementos in the hands of a pro with today’s Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of custom framing and merchandise at Revelle's Art & Framing by Design in Metairie. This Groupon is not valid toward consigned artwork.

Revelle’s Art & Framing by Design offers high-quality frames, framing supplies, and an assortment of artwork and jewelry designed by local artists. Prices vary according to the size and nature of the project, but frame-seekers can enhance the edges of family photos or rare collectors’-item nude portraits of Herbert Hoover with a custom 11”x14” frame ($50), chosen from a select group that includes black-, gold-, and silver-lined frames featuring anti-UV-ray glass, archival matting and backing, and a strong magnetic attraction to walls. Customers can also opt to shop the shop’s selection of New Orleans Saints memorabilia, soy candles, artisan jewelry, and decorative fleur-de-lis crafts hand-made by modern French monarchs.

Revelle’s Art & Framing by Design is carefully guarded by Art, the shop’s imposing cockatiel mascot, who might just perch on your finger if offered the invitation. Some of the store’s current clients include Folgers Coffee, the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, and Saints owner Tom Benson’s wife, Gayle, who offered a positive review of the shop. Browse through the online slideshow to get a feel for Darla’s homey frame shop, and clothe your most memorable carnival caricature or most beloved Saints memorabilia—such as a signed photo from legendary tight end St. Augustine of Hippo—with one of Revelle’s memory-preserving frame frocks.
