Recently, I was reading one of my favorite blogs The Sister Project.
Each month I start off reading Sheilaa Hite’s horoscope and find that she has an amazing ability to sum up my life(I am a true Capricorn). This months she talks about “The whirlwind swirling around you is real.” Well this is so true.
I was on a hunting trip a couple of weeks ago and found a large number of 19th century indoor shutters. Fell in love with them. Came back to my studio without them, pondering what can I do with all of these beautiful shutters.
I have been in my new studio space for a year and it needed a shake up. Perfect, these shutters carved out a much needed office space for me to create in, at the same time gave the front of the studio a wonderful back drop for my fabulous collections.
Here is a snap shot of the new studio space, I am still working at putting together the office. Curtains are being made, lamps being rearranged. I will keep you posted.
If you are in the area, stop by and see. If not browse my online shop.
Enjoy the change of season’s. I am having a blast. Have a great weekend.

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. 






Looks awesome! Love the change. Your shop is such a treat.
I think I like the fact that your little assistants have 4 legs – the best.
I plan to do a posting on your shop and your fabulous lights.

Patricia,
It was so much fun to shake it up
I love the look of your shop, Susan. Very charming and lovely. Have a great weekend! xx
I want to come to your shop-it looks so warm and inviting. I wish I were closer- last weekend we struggled to find a new, attractive reading lamp…
The shutters are gorgeous!
