Found & Framed

The fragments
aren't lost.
They're chapters.

Found & Framed builds handcrafted shadow-box keepsakes — the tassel, the first bootie, the pressed bloom — arranged and framed into something you can keep on a shelf for the rest of your life.

How it began

A collection
is just a life,
catalogued.

Found & Framed started with a single box — a specimen plate for a creature that doesn't exist, built to hold the small proofs of a person's becoming.

A butterfly for the wide-eyed years. A magnifying glass for the seasons of learning and unlearning. A little cork vial of gathered fragments — experiences, people, lessons — that quietly shape who someone is still growing into.

Field note: these fragments are not lost. They are chapters. And every life deserves to be arranged with the same care a naturalist gives a rare find.

That idea became the workshop. We take the objects that mark your moments and frame them the way a museum frames its treasures — considered, catalogued, and made to last.

The Collection

Moments, kept in shadow

Each piece is built by hand around your objects. These are the forms we're commissioned for most — every one made to order.

The Making

Three steps, one keepsake

Stage One i.

You gather

You bring us the objects — or tell us what the moment was, and we help you choose what belongs in it.

Stage Two ii.

We arrange

Each piece is composed, mounted and captioned by hand, framed like a specimen worth keeping.

Stage Three iii.

You keep

The finished box arrives ready for the wall or shelf — a chapter, arranged and made to last.
