How on earth do you find that perfect frame for that beautiful nature scene?
Or how about that golf ball which was your first hole-in-one? Perhaps that photograph of your ancestors needs a new home. One place that specializes in custom frames as well as contempory artwork is Woodland Gallery in the Village of East Davenport.
Located at 1111 Mound Street, owner Les Siebke said customers can have basically anything you want framed.
"We've framed musical instruments," said Les. "We can frame footballs, to Walter Payton jerseys to golf balls from hole-in-ones. Basically, any memorabilia you've got, we can frame."
But custom wood and metal frames just scratch the surface of what Woodland Gallery has to offer. Step inside the showroom and one can see a huge seleciton of artwork. Colorful, picturesque prints linen the walls and racks.
Paintings aren't the only artwork for sale. Photographers also have contributed to the store's stock, including Quad City area landmarks.
If it's not a particular artist that draws a customer to the store, perhaps that time comes during one of the Village of East Davenport's many festivals. Woodland Gallery has always welcomed customers during any and every festival, including the Civil War Re-enactments that are now part of the Village's past.
But, customers have one more reason to stop at the Woodland Gallery this year. Les Siebke is retiring, and therefore, is selling all of his merchandise. Everything is 40% off.
He opened the gallery in 1977, and in his nearly 40 years, he has operated locations in the Olde Town Mall, the Village of East Davenport, Southpark Mall, Muscatine & Williamsburg. Needless to say, the Woodland Gallery has been a Quad City icon for four decades.
Success has been gleaned through their custom framework and vast selection of artwork. "I think we do very, very good framing," says Les. "We have a large variety of artwork for people to choose from, whether it's photographs, posters, prints, limited editions, canvas pieces, originals...basically, we have something for everyone."
Les said he is glad to have experienced such success and happiness from the Woodland Gallery in the past 40 years. He is sad to be moving on from such happy and cherished memories, but looks forward to retirement and fishing in warmer weather! He added that artwork makes a perfect Christmas present, since is lasts a lifetime and the recipient will always remember the gift.
Quad City residents will have many fond memories of the Woodland Gallery. Their custom framing quality is unmatched and Les is right - there really is something for everyone in his gallery of beautiful artwork.
The Woodland Gallery is offering 40% off as part of their Happy Retirement Sale! Don't miss out on some hidden gems!
