Mary Livingston graduated from the U of Md. in 1983 with a Bachelors of Art in History. From there she went to George Washington University to work on a masters in Historic Preservation. She loves history of all kinds, and is particularly passionate about old family photos and any memorabilia that tells a story of the lives of people. She gets very excited when she has the opportunity to work with customers who bring in their family treasures to frame and can't wait to complete the project. She feels it is an honor to get a glimpse of other people's stories and truly believes that our personal history is important to pass down to our families, perserving the object and memories as carefully as possible. History tells us where we came from and who we are. Some of her favorite things to frame are, old family photos, old letters, old recipes, and medals from soldiers and awards, to name a few.
