This Victorian styled line of artwork, known to a lot of you by its old name, "Miniscriptures", features delicate text decorated with intricately detailed vines and flowers. Each verse comes in your choice of a gold or walnut frame, each with its own coordinating mat. Here's a word from founder Clarence Blocher:

Behind this artwork lies a story I once read about well-known British Bible teacher G. Campbell Morgan. He and his new bride set up housekeeping by renting an apartment in London. Shortly after moving in, they invited the groom's father to dinner. Dr. Morgan, proud of his new home, asked his dad, "What do you think of it?"

In 1943 my sister gave my wife and me an illuminated rendition of Isaiah 40:31 as a wedding gift. Many visitors, seeing it in our living room, commented favorably on it, and asked where they could get something similar. Unfortunately, the artist had died, but the idea inspired me to pursue the creation of the Manuscriptures business, and from that sprang the offshoot Garden of Verses.

"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
