About Me

Happily married for 28 years. Piano teacher, lampshade maker. Love to laugh. Hi, my name is Cindy and I live in Western NY south of Buffalo in beautiful Chautauqua County. I started Shades ETC in 2005 after attending a lampshade making class at Fletcher Farms in VT. A friend who was doing craft shows encouraged me to do a craft show with her and make shades for welcome lamps. I jumped in. My first show was Peak n Peeks Fall Festival in 2005. After that I was hooked. Not that I made money, I just loved making the shades. After two years of doing craft shows at probably the worst time to start, I decided to launch a shopping cart on my website and maybe stay home more instead of doing so many craft shows.
