"Things that make you smile" ~ handmade by Susan Schneider
Recently I went on a hunting trip for vintage images. Not that I need more, but you can never have enough.
I stumbled upon a postcard album from the early 1900′s, that came from upstate New York. As I turned the pages this wonderful original water color appeared. I fell in love with it. For all the years of collecting I never found such a wonderful Halloween image. Not signed, I wonder who the artist was.
Perfect for Shandell’s matches. What a fabulous way to light your Halloween night.
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, has just relocated to 2976 Church Street, Pine Plains, NY 12567. I draw on a collection of thousands of unique handmade papers, antique wallpapers and other very special materials in my work. We will be open by chance or appointment.
