Apologies for the silence, shutting down the business proved to be pretty stressful and so I took a break.

Re: Pastel coloured mouldings and customer trends.

Hardly sell any pastel frames, unless they are almost on the grey spectrum. These days it feels like I could sell a walnut frame for any job.

Re: Final finish for hand painted frames..

The good thing about the FB and little green etc, is you can by a tester pot for £4 meaning you don't need to mix the paint, making it an awful lot easier when the customer comes back in asking for the same colour.
