Our new textile line consists of purses, laundry bags and Bible/book covers made from fabric remnants. This line is especially important to us because it has given us an opportunity to use beautiful fabrics, unique prints, and one of a kind pieces that were headed for the trash --- yeah, that's right--- we rescued "garbage" --- they are usually flawed (not noticeable to our untrained eyes!)--- they may be printed wrong or missing colors (we usually use these pieces for liners!)---they were headed to a burn pile where some companies were going to have to pay a worker to stand and burn 'em up!
My Elegant Clutter has a philosophy that this earth already has enough "stuff" --- we pride ourselves in designing products from scraps, rejects, leftovers, things that other people have tossed aside.... and at times, we have the honor of 'rescuing' items to add to our line.... this would explain how we created our exclusive wood line.
Our keychains are completely hand made. We make the frames and then web and bead them with large glass beads. Each piece is unique, one-of-a-kind, and tagged with the testimony of the person who made that piece. They come in multi-colored and glass pearls. These have been a huge hit throughout the country and have been used as book marks, keychains (they come with a key ring attached) and necklaces --- they look fabulous on a long chain. The pearl keychain/necklace has become one of our most popular items.
Rugged Beauty ---- another signature design by "My Elegant Clutter". To us, this describes many of our relationships in life. "Rugged" perseverance through hardships, hurts, heartaches, disappointments, etc. but “beauty” in the endurance of the friendship/relationship that evolves from overcoming situations together. Rugged Beauty also describes many of our relationships with Jesus Christ – no matter how rugged we make the journey, He always showers us with the beauty of His forgiveness and grace.
Rugged Beauty – a perfect gift for anyone in your life…
Our beaded crosses are made from nails and go through several processes and people before they get to your hands. Each piece is individually made, not on an assembly line, but in a home. Our workers take their products home and work in between naps, feedings, caring for an elderly parent, working 2 or more jobs, etc. We believe there is a place in this world for people who simply want to work.
