Pumpkins are everywhere this time of year
October 22, 2009
The potters of the Mid 19th century experimented in the most amazing shapes and glazes.
Lucky for us so many examples survived the changing times.
I wonder what the artist’s of that time would think of how I transform them.
I could not resist this pair, perfect for this time of year. There shape, chunky and round,
just like the pumpkins we have been decorating our homes with.
I paired them with a great paper made with leaves running throughout.
Bring a bit of nature indoors 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.

Those are so warm and would certainly “spice” up any room.
