    There is a Frame shop a couple of doors down from Hector Grays on Liffey Street.

    It's fairly expensive as well. I personally would avoid.

    What kind of pictures are they? ie, family, freidns or cars or nature....

    I was in the same boat as you a while ago when my friend gave me an A1 drawing and I ended up getting a frame in Bernados or something, or think it may have been Oxfam at the Coombe end of Francis st for a mere €30.

    Otherwise if I were you and they were certain frames, try online. Ebay, etc.

    Just to counter this point.

    I got a picture framed just before Xmas, and found it reasonably priced, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

    as recommended to me , a framer who works from his shed much cheaper than the frame shops and the quality excellent - i know 1 lad does as a hobby but is really good
