I am so saddened by the news of Jans passing. I grew very fond of her from visiting her shop and I really value the help she gave me in bringing new life to several of my antique lamps. I was excited to use the beautiful Dutch chandelier this Thanksgiving that I recently purchased from her. She was so kind and helpful and I will really miss her❤

Nancy, I'm so sorry about your sister! I ran into her from time to time over the years and she was always so nice. I always thought of you two as a team and I hope you can find some comfort in thinking of the good times with her.

We will so miss Jan and that wonderful little shop. Everytime I think of her I can hear her destintive voice. Her little shops from over the years have always been a fun adventure into the past. She would always be tinkering with something. It's a marvel that she could figure out the solutions to many complicated problems with lamps. Truly a pioneer. Going to miss her and wish I had visited her more often.
