In the May 2010 Parting Glance, 20/20 ran a photo of a tray table from 1987 made to look like glasses. It resonated
with reader Frances Scholz, who decided to build a bigger, better version with husband Douglas and daughter Heather. At Expo West in 2011 she showed us a small look book of her growing assortment of eyewear-inspired furniture and displays. We were honored featuring their craft back then and continue to be amazed by the creativity of this evolving eye-biz, Backyard Spectacles—equally thrilled we had a part in fueling such independent thinking. Perhaps you need a piece of this. THIS is the spirited enthusiasm we adore at 20/20. Frances Scholz, YOU are our muse for both our March issues’ Parting Glance. Here’s hoping readers are inspired enough to head to backyardspectacles.com or call them at (907) 947-8968.
