I’m always delighted when my ketubah clients send me photos of their ketubah, but the other day I got a very special treat.
Lauren and Jeffrey ordered my Windows to the Soul egalitarian ketubah in Seaglass for their August wedding a year ago. Lauren’s mom is an artist herself, and she hand-made a marvelous frame to coordinate with the “tile” design of the ketubah. I could not wait to see the finished product!
My wish was granted not long ago, when Lauren sent pictures of the framed ketubah. Here it is for your viewing pleasure.
(I wonder if Lauren’s mom is interested in going into the ketubah framing business?)
Do you have a special frame treatment for your Ketubahworks ketubah? Send it my way and I’ll post it here!

For my parents’ 50th anniversary, I wanted to make them something by hand, something special just from me and my brother and sister-in-law.
I’ve made a number special books for clients over the years, in the “X reasons why we love you” vein. The first one, 80 Reasons Why We Love You Dad was such a hit, that it spawned several more client commissions, all from word of mouth.
I wanted to make a similar book for my dad’s 70th birthday, and then for my mom’s, but somehow I never managed to make that happen. So when their 50th anniversary approached, I knew I need to jump on it!
(Plus 50 reasons x 1 is a lot less work than 70 reasons x 2!)
Mom and Pop’s actual anniversary was June 12, but the big party was June 19, and I presented the book during my toast.
Needless to say, they loved it. I’m delighted to report they’re having a display case built for it, so it will live where people can enjoy it, rather than up on a shelf somewhere.
I’ll take some “official” pics later, but for now, here are some snapshots.
Enjoy!
