When I uncovered a great box of vintage Christmas cards, this one pictured above was on top.

Wishing you,
Peace, Hope & Joy.
See you in 2011.

Grab a box of matches,
light a pretty candle,
build a fire,
open a bottle of wine,
wish everyone,
PEACE, HOPE & JOY
Enjoy this Holiday Season!!!

I get a call, House Beautiful is putting one of Shandell’s matchboxes in their magazine.
All I can think about is how grateful I am.
A big thank you for putting Shandell’s matchbox in the pages of “The Best”.

Wishing you PEACE, HOPE & JOY.
HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY & A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Shandell’s has joined a great group of artists in a virtual market of hand made goods.
Visit Poppytalkhandmade to see all of these wonderful things. In a world of mass production, it is fabulous to be among a group of people who work with their hands from all parts of the world. Poppytalkhandmade is celebrating their year anniversary on Canada’s Thanksgiving day, a great time to thank Jan & Earl for their creation.
Indie Love is a pre-holiday market for all to enjoy. Shandell’s virtual table has our newest addition for the holiday’s, a Dove ornament made from vintage wallpaper and 19th century glass glitter. For years I have keep all of my rolls of vintage ceiling papers and have finally found a great use for them. Doves, make a perfect platform for their tone on tone patterns, the patterns look like feathers. You will also find tissue boxes and matches with fun vintage images great for any room in the house. Shandell’s Star ornaments made with vintage wallpaper are still as popular as ever. More to come in the next couple of weeks.
If you happen to live in the north east of the USA, you are enjoying as I am the unbelievable change of color at the moment. The colors this year are breathtaking.
Peace,
Susan
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.
