Classic Legacy specializes in creating custom gifts.   We are commissioned often to create gifts for the participants of golf tournaments.   Today we shipped gifts to  the Theater Foundation of Temecula.    They are not the usual type of gifts that players receive.    I think they will welcome these gifts that are unique, fun, and useful.

14 May 2013 A. Schwab a Memphis treasure being renewed and preserved

A. Schwab a Memphis treasure being renewed and preserved

posted by Leave a Comment

Memphis has a treasure in the landmark store A. Schwab. This store has become a Memphis institution, beloved by many generations. An authentic mercantile experience still greets visitors from around the world. Children of all ages enjoy an assortment of old-fashioned delights. A. Schwab’s original hardwood floors, antique pine display tables (built in the alley behind Beale), old-school merchandise, and rich family history make it one of a kind. I had the privilege to be invited by Terry Saunders to take a tour and see some of the behind the scene developments and to learn what is next for this 136 year old store.

Terry Saunders

Terry Saunders is the new owner of A.Schwab. She is very committed to preserving the history of this institution.

A. Schwab push cart

This push cart was used on Beale Street in Memphis and now is a wonderful display in A. Schwab.

A. Schwab typewriter

All sorts of vintage objects are used in displays. This vintage typewriter was used for many years by A. Schwab.

 

A. Schwab Record players and Radios

So many memories….A. Schwab Record players and Radios….This store is like a museum in many ways!

Guitars displayed at A. Schwab

Guitars displayed at A. Schwab…..Memphis is “Home of the Blues” and “Beale Street is the Heart of the Blues.”

A. Schwab Stage for events

The top floor of A. Schwab holds all sorts of treasures….including this stage for musicians. What a great place to hear the Blues.

Wheels in A.Schwab basement

Terry even took me to the basement and showed me the collection of A.Schwab tools and century old artifacts.

A Schwab Memphis Home of the Blues

I just love this old pin! Memphis Home of the Blues. Beale Street Heart of the Blues.

Terry  and her team is doing a wonderful job reviving A. Schwab.    It is a work in progress.   There will soon be a soda fountain / restaurant  where everyone can come to hear the Blues!    It has been a treat for me to learn more about A. Schwab.   This is a Memphis treasure that has to be seen!    I’m going to love creating custom gifts for A.Schwab!   Thank you Terry for the tour of A. Schwab.

5 May 2013 Classic Legacy Charms & Jewelry May not be Best Mother’s Day Gift

Classic Legacy Charms & Jewelry May not be Best Mother’s Day Gift

posted by 1 Comment

Classic Legacy charms and jewelry might NOT be the best gift for Mother’s Day.    What a contrary thing for me to say…..of course I think the charms are beautiful, meaningful, and a great gift.   They are affordable and easy to attach to any Classic Legacy bracelet or necklace.   I think that the best gift for Mother’s Day is probably not Classic Legacy charms.    I’m looking forward to driving to visit my Mother over the weekend of Mother’s Day.    I’ve had fun looking through photos.   I will  enjoy celebrating with Mother this year by spending a weekend together at the farm.

Our Family

This photo was taken when I was ten. I think it was Christmas day. Mother and Daddy were busy with four children.

Mother and Daughters

Happy Mother’s Day! We will enjoy being at the farm and hopefully being outside in the yard and garden.

Traveling with Mother

We have enjoyed traveling together. This was taken in front of the Historic Raphael Hotel In Kansas City, MO.

Traveling to Stonehenge

We have even traveled to Stonehenge!

Children at the Farm

My daughters and I loved going to the farm! Cows were always a favorite entertainment.

My daughters

My daughters are an inspiration to me. The cycle continues!

Happy Mother’s Day to all Mothers.    How will you spend the day?

25 April 2013 Why Classic Legacy Gives You a Free Presentation for Custom Gifts

Why Classic Legacy Gives You a Free Presentation for Custom Gifts

posted by

Did you know that we give free presentations?   If you would like to see how your business logo, photo, or art would look on custom gifts we can do that for you.   FREE!   Why do we offer this service?   How can we afford to do this at no charge?   Here are some reasons:

Visualization with Your Image is Meaningful

It is hard to image how your own photo, logo, or art will look on a gift.    We realize that sometimes background must be cropped or background added to fit the space.    You want to know how that will look.   It is important to see how YOUR image will look.   Here is an example of original art given to us by The Broadmoor Hotel. We cropped the original art to fit on the marble Classic Legacy bottle stopper.

This is the original art given to us by the Broadmoor Hotel. It is a Maxfield Parrish Original Painting.

Marble Wine Bottle stopper with Custom Image

This is part of the presentation we made to the Broadmoor. We were able to show them how the image would be cropped to fit on the Classic Legacy Marble Wine Bottle stopper.

To view even more images from the presentation to The Broadmoor Hotel click here.

Changes Can Easily be Made

Classic Legacy does virtual presentations.   Therefore when changes do need to be made it is easy to make those changes before the products are actually produced.   For example background color can be changed (most of the time)……it depends on the type of art file given to us.    Here is an example of how the background color was changed from white to black on these custom cuff links for The Cliburn Foundation.  We were even able to show them how their logo would look in different shapes of the cuff link that Classic Legacy offers.

Cuff Link Square The Cliburn

Round Custom Cuff Links with Cliburn Logo

Presentations Unite the Team

When your team sees a presentation of  your logo on custom gifts everyone tends to “get it”…..and come together after seeing a common vision for marketing.   Being able to have something concrete is very important.   Here is an example of a presentation that we made to Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis.   Their entire team was able to review the presentation and make final decisions about what gifts to choose.

Presentations Increase Loyalty and Commitments

It does take time and effort on the part of Classic Legacy to create these presentations.   We do not charge for these presentations.   To begin a presentation we need a high-resolution jpg image of your logo, art or photograph.   The resolution should be at least 300 DPI or above….600 DPI is ideal.   We also would like to know the products that your are interested in.   For example some clients only want wine related gifts.   It usually takes 2-3 days to create a presentation.    This presentation will be emailed to you to review.    We have found that presentations increase loyalty and commitment.  Below is our list of available custom gifts, requirements, and prices.  Click on the image and you will see a large PDF version.

Incorporated Local Architecture in Custom Gifts

When developing custom gifts people love to celebrate their town and their architecture.   Celebrating what is around you is important and meaningful.    This acrylic  tray showcases  the train stations of Berwyn, Paoli, Malvern, Merion, Narberth, Wynnewood, Ardmore, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Rosemont, Villanova, Radnor, Wayne, St. David’s, Strafford and Devon. The laminated insert  can be removed and replaced with any 8×10 inch photograph of your choice. This allows for personalized use for wedding events, graduation parties, birthday celebrations – you name it!    Tray measures 9 x 11.25 x 3 inches.

Chosen Gifts That are Useful

No one wants to receive a gift that is just going to be put in a drawer or closet and never used.   Both the Classic Legacy tray and the marble coasters are useful!   The marble coasters are natural hand cut marble and are perfect for both hot and cold drinks.   I just love the whimsical art!

Chosen Gifts That Evoke Emotions

Good gifts make you feel…..good, happy, joyful, thankful, or reminiscent.   The sketches of the Main Line train stations bring back memories.    Good gifts evoke emotions.   Here are some more of the marble coasters.

Praying for Boston – When You Don’t Know What to Say

posted by

Today it doesn’t seem right to talk about custom gifts.  Sometimes it is just important to pray.   Join me in praying for the city of Boston.   These are some quotes that are meaningful to me.

Every time you smile

Think about the gift you give every time you smile.

Kind Words

Think about how important kind words are.

God Handle so Much

Sometimes it is hard to handle so much….but I love the reassurance of this quote.

I’m thinking on these quotes tonight.
