Make Pendant Lights Out of Thrifty Vintage Finds — Put A Bulb In It! from RetroRenovation.com on Vimeo.
I got a call from my friend Pam at Retro Renovation a couple of weeks ago. She talked to me about making a video for her readers. “Put a bulb in it” was the theme. Taking thrifty finds, treasures or what ever you have in mind and making a hanging pendant out of it. What a great idea. So here is my first video. We had such fun making this one, there are more to come. Enjoy, and get creative.

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 2881 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. 
Nice job Susan! I think you’ve got a new career.
Happy Spring,

Thanks Judy, we had a great time. I think we laughed more than anything. All the snow has melted. Happy SPRING to you.

Susan, it looks like you and Pam had a fun time making this video. I love the ideas! I featured your site on stylesson.com – now I’m off to look for items that would make good pendant lights…
LOL! I thought this was going to be a “take” on Portlandia’s “Put a BIrd on It”!! There are some good ideas here! I love unique lighting.
…and I thought you were putting bulbs in the garden! Happy Spring, nice video.
