LUXE Luther Creations Fundraiser Catalog

Hi Everyone. It's been a while since I last posted. Apologies. I've been a bit sidetracked with the fundraiser catalog that I've been putting together for an Irish Dance Class that needs to raise money to get themselves to Ireland in 2011.

It is such an honor that to be asked to do this. My neighbor's daughter is in the Irish Dance class and all the girls are super talented. It's amazing to watch them dance! The speed and agility with which they dance is incredible!

I have hand selected some of my favorite pieces from my collection as well as create a few new ones for the catalog. Several of the pieces have an Irish theme as it is for an Irish Dance Class. It was only fitting to include those pieces. I love the Irish culture and the myth and lore that surrounds it as well.

In addition to the catalog, I have created an online shop on Etsy where customers can order the fundraiser items of their choice. Here is the link: http://www.mulkerins.etsy.com/

Here is a preview of some of what you will find in the catalog:

LUXE Luther Creations

LUXE Luther Creations is obviously a whimsical play on words; one that my husband thinks he should receive royalties for. It came to me one night as I was trying my hand at making note cards and I needed something different from my (at the time) current business name of Charming Adornments, which was the branch of my business focused on making handmade bookmarks, key rings and wine charms. My notecards didn't, in my mind, fit in with my line of Charming Adornments products, so a line extension had to be created; hence LUXE Luther Creations was born.

As time went on and I opened a 2nd Etsy shop for my LUXE Luther products, I realized that maintaining two Etsy shops was hard work. So I decided to have a merger; one in which LUXE Luther Creations became the brand name for ALL my products.

Shortly after that, in the spring of 2008, I began trying my hand at jewelry and quickly became addicted. My obsession with ribbon for making bookmarks and key rings was quickly replaced by an addiction to beads! I now have 2 rather large rolling bead "suitcases".

Given the current economy, sadly, I have put my business on hold, but it is not without its silver lining. I am taking this time to focus on personal growth to I have a clearer outlook for my products and my business in the near future.

In the meantime, if you would like to check out my Etsy shop, please visit http://www.LUXELuther.etsy.com.

Thanks for reading!
