I came into the studio on Monday morning and had a message from Lynn Hazelwood from the Hudson Magazine blog. Her message said that she was so thrilled to find me can I give her a call.
So I did and we had a great talk. She is from England and I love the intro line to the story “How to brighten up a dowdy room with one- (or maybe two-) of-a-kind lamps and shades”. My grams is from England and the word “dowdy” brought back wonderful memories.
What lamps do you have that could use a brightening up? Table lamp, floor lamp, wall sconce or chandelier? Bring a bit of sunshine indoors.
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. 
Always love your lamps!!!
Happy March 1!

Susan – What a wonderful story! And the lamps look so beautiful.
