I’ve written about my friend Susan’s shop Shandell’s before, and how I particularly love her covered matchboxes. Well – as I was perusing my November issue of House Beautiful, I was delighted to see her work mentioned in the “best” of the month section!
The caption reads:
“Matchbox: A wooden matchbox with a handmade decoupaged cover? It sparked our interest. Sold in a variety of vintage designs (there’s a different image on each side), they make a great hostess gift on their own or paired with a candle. $14. SHANDELL’S: shandells.com.“
Not familiar with Susan’s work? You can see more of her antique and handmade paper creations (lamps, shades, matchboxes, tissue paper box covers, etc.) on her website, Shandell’s.
Here are some of my favorite matchboxes in the shop right now:
A little late to order the Halloween inspired on for this year, but Santa would look adorable on the mantle for Christmas 2010…
