Half Hats
July 23, 2009
I have making a lot of “Hats” ( small shades for chandeliers and sconces) this summer. A great way to change the appearance of a room, a quick change in wardrobe. From Sassy Sleeves to Hats, here are my newest, Half Hats for sconces.
Wonderful shapes and sizes that are a blank canvas to my vast collection of papers old and new. Just let your imagination run wild with all of the possibilities that can happen. When you take the plain lampshade you now have on your favorite sconce and replace it with a funky Half Hat or maybe a Half Hat would be the answer to making an ordinary sconce extra ordinary.
If you are in the area stop by and see what Hats you fancy or visit my online store.
The combination’s are endless, a certain way to make you smile.
Shandell's is the creative home of me, Susan Schneider, a longtime collector of things vintage with a passion for recycling them into things that make you smile. Shandell's, a working lampshade and vintage lighting studio, is located at the corner of Route 22 and Route 44, at 5916 North Elm Avenue, Millerton, New York, 12546, housed in a newly renovated century-old building. I draw on a collection of thousands of unique handmade papers, antique wallpapers and other very special materials in my work. We are open Thursday through Saturday, 11 to 5, and by chance or appointment. (518) 789-6603.

Your photography has improved 100%….I love the little shades, especially the horizontal greenish one on the left! Keep up the great work & you will see how it all pays off…pacing..pacing..pacing!(That is the sound of money in the cash draw).Sending you good vibes for your back….& light a candle to get rid of the cat energy. See you this weekend.
