Classic Legacy custom bottle stoppers for Berkshire Hathaway

      Classic Legacy was commissioned in 2009,  by Borsheims to design custom bottle stoppers for the Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting.    This year we were again honored to be chosen.    One theme shows Warren Buffett  and Charlie Munger with baseball caps.   Our favorite is the very latest design which depicts Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger as railroad engineers!   This is in celebration of Berkshire Hathaway's new acquisition of Burlington Northern Railroad.     I just read Richard Vinhais's blog about his experience at the shareholders meeting.   It is business experience that so many cherish.    We enjoy learning about the needs of our customers and being able to creatively help them market their business with innovative products.  We look forward to serving you! 


Classic Legacy custom gifts for Mardi Gras

      Mardi Gras is tomorrow and I says cheers and Let the Good Times Roll!    In the past years we have become friends of so many  that celebrate Mardi Gras.   Classic Legacy specializes in themes and custom design.   Our designs are a good fit for Krewe gifts.   I've noticed that cities all over the USA however have special events.   Memphis has the Cotton Carnival,  Kentucky the Derby, and other cities have all kinds of other unique venues.   It has been a blessing to see New Orleans bloom again.   Laissez les bons temps Rouler!

Custom Gifts and Social Media for 2010

         I've been learning about social media for most of 2009.   I'm convinced that it is going to help Classic Legacy connect with customers in a better way in 2010.   I recently have become a big fan of Jeff Bulla.   I was introduced to him in a class I took this fall, Social Media for Business, with Amy Howell of Amy Howell Marketing and Jamie Hutto with Valeo Marketing.   A year ago I did not know why anyone would want to spend time on Facebook, had never heard of Twitter, and had trouble imagining that I might blog!   That has changed!!  Jeff Bulla recently posted a blog about the 5 do's and don'ts of social media.   It has spurred me on to "get out there and just do it"!   Classic Legacy is now connecting with top tier retailers, wineries, hotels, and resorts as well as small boutiques.    Social Media has brought us together with such ease.   I'm learning what my customers need, what they like, and how Classic Legacy can best meet those needs.  Our team enjoys learning!  One of our current orders is for Berkshire Hathaway.    We did custom bottle stoppers with Warren Buffet's image  last year and they were such a hit that we were commissioned by Borsheims to do the 2010 Berkshire Hataway gifts.  The theme is a "Walk in the Park".  Let us know you theme.   We would love to create a custom gift for you in 2010!   Happy New Year!

Classic Legacy Designer of Equestrian Gifts

      Classic Legacy specializes in themes and custom design.   It was a natural for us to develop an Equestrian Gift line after learning of the 2010 Equestrian Olympics to be held at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY.    We have done much research and after input from many of our "horse" customers have created an elegant classic line representing the major Equestrian disciplines.   We also have the ability to use your photos or paintings and create custom gifts such as what we have done for Belle Meade Plantation in Nashville with the horse Iroquois.  Iroquois, the most famous horse of the 1880s and ‘90s, was a product of Belle Meade. He was the first American-born horse to win the English Derby.    Classic Legacy is known as the "go to" company to produce custom gifts and we count that has an honor and privledge.

Custom Orders Increase

     Custom orders are increasing!    The summer shows brought Classic Legacy more and more clients that are looking for custom gifts that really convey their style.   That is our area of expertise.   Our graphic artist takes a good quality digital image and works with clients to create a wonderful custom charm or medallion.   The Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans re-opened on July 1, 2009 for the first time since Katrina.   It is a historic landmark hotel with wonderful amenities.    Classic Legacy was chosen to create five custom bottle stoppers that reflect their unique themes.   We do custom design for many large resorts and hotels but also for small boutiques.  Remember us for custom gifts.


Peabody Ducks

       When you walk in the wonderful lobby of the historic Peabody Hotel the Peabody ducks are one of the most unique attractions.   In the center of the lovely fountain they swim all day long peacefully amid the many visitors to this great hotel.   Geri Lansky, of  Lansky's at the Peabody first asked Classic Legacy to design custom bottle stoppers.    We now have designed not only custom bottle stoppers but also wine charms, photo frames, business card holders, notepads, and a wine carrier.  Visitors that come to Memphis love to visit Lansky's, "the clothier of the King".   They always have wonderful gifts that remind you of good times in Memphis.  Classic Legacy is honored to be the designer of custom Peabody gifts.
