Featuring Megan’s Custom Framing – Waynesboro, PA
Presented by Crescent Brands
Every day, independent custom framers bring creativity, craftsmanship, and heart into their communities. At Crescent Brands, we’re proud to support the thousands of small businesses who choose our matboard, moulding, and materials to elevate the art entrusted to them.
This Small Business Saturday, we’re highlighting one of those shops: Megan’s Custom Framing in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania — a third-generation local business built on artistry, connection, and community.
A Legacy Carried Forward
Walking into Megan’s Custom Framing feels like stepping into a story, one shaped by decades of craftsmanship and three generations of women owners who poured their creativity into the shop. Today, Megan carries that legacy forward with a clear mission: to help people bring meaning, memory, and beauty into their homes through framing.
“Creation is healing,” Megan says. “I’ve always been creating, and now I get to help others bring their art to life, too.”
Her passion mirrors the heart of Crescent Brands: bringing together design, materials, and storytelling to elevate every piece that crosses a framer’s table.
Where Art Meets Story
Every project in Megan’s shop begins with a conversation. What’s the story behind this piece? How will it be displayed? What matters most to the person bringing it in?
Whether it’s an intaglio print, a textile from a loved one, or a once-in-a-lifetime keepsake, Megan designs with intention — choosing colors, textures, and materials that honor the artwork and the person behind it.
Her background in art history and color theory shines through in every frame design.
“I love seeing how art interacts with the person who owns it,” she says. “It’s personal every time.”
Craftsmanship, Supported by Crescent
Framers like Megan rely on materials that protect and elevate the stories they’re trusted with. From conservation to design-forward choices, Crescent Brands is proud to play a role in that process. In local frame shops like Megan’s you can find:
- Crescent & Bainbridge matboards for conservation, preservation, and protection of your precious art
- Nurre Caxton woods for classic, handcrafted elegance
- Nielsen metals for modern, minimalist framing
These collections are created to give framers confidence, whether they’re preserving history or creating bold, contemporary designs.
The Process: Thoughtful, Transparent, and Personal
When customers bring something in, Megan starts with honesty and education. Budgets, goals, and options are reviewed together. In rural communities especially, custom framing can be an investment. Megan wants people to understand exactly what they’re getting, and why it matters.
From matboard selection to UV-filtering glazing, each choice is designed to ensure the artwork can be enjoyed for years, even generations.
“People don’t always realize how much thought and craftsmanship go into custom framing,” Megan says. “It’s not just materials, it’s storytelling.”
Rooted in Community
Like many independent framers, Megan’s business is woven into the fabric of her town. She knows her customers. She remembers their projects. She supports local causes because her shop is part of the neighborhood.
This Small Business Saturday, Megan is giving back:
- $10 donated to the local food bank next door for every order placed
- A $100 gift certificate giveaway for customers who visit the shop
At Crescent Brands, we believe this is the heart of the framing industry: small businesses supporting the people around them through creativity and care.
Looking Ahead: New Materials, Fresh Ideas
Megan is excited by emerging trends in the framing world, especially modern acrylics, bold color stories, and unexpected combinations of texture and matte surfaces.
One recent standout? A black suede mat paired with green and gold moulding for the Appalachian Trail Fest — a design that brought the natural theme to life.
This spirit of experimentation is exactly what fuels Crescent’s design innovation across matboard, moulding, and specialty surfaces.
Why Small Businesses Matter to Crescent
Independent framers keep the art world personal. They preserve what matters. They make creativity accessible in every community.
As a family-owned company, Crescent Brands is honored to support these shops with thoughtfully designed materials that help tell stories, one frame at a time.
This Small Business Saturday, we encourage everyone to:
Shop local. Frame local. Support the creatives who make our communities brighter.
