A day in the life of Rocky the office dog!

If you refer to earlier posts, in the very beginning I introduced you to Rocky the office dog.  I also mentioned that Cary and he aren't particulary close. (If dogs had litter boxes his would be Cary's office, and for those of you that know Cary....it doesn't go over well!)  I mention this because I want to clarify Cary DID NOT place the bag on Rocky's head, he might of considered leaving it for a very brief moment, but Rocky got himself in this predicament all by himself.  You see there is a theme behind Rocky's pictures....food.  The first post he is guarding a chicken bone and here he was scouring the trash for scraps.  I personally find this quite amusing considering he is all of 3lbs.  All this being said, Rocky has seperation anxiety so he wasn't in the bag for more then a second before he was rescued.  After cleaning off his tennis ball size head and feeding him a marshmellow all was well!  Enjoy,  Jenny

Everybody needs a wall hook, or two, or three...you get my point!

If you are like me having wall hooks in your house is as necessary as having beds, towels and food!  Where else do we hang coats, backpacks, towels, robes and those ever famous sports medals?  Often times Jubilee's new product additions stem from my household requests.....did I mention I love the power:)  Well, apparently this year I have been yearning for hooks!  So......hooks it is.  I'm attaching some pics of several of our new additions.  This is just a sampling of the new designs and colors.  Where are they already in my house you ask, well let's see....Mackenzie's bedroom, bathroom and my mudroom.  What next?  Happy Thursday,  Jenny

Add a little cheer to your lampshades and brighten up your holiday!

We all have a little left over Christmas ribbon, some extra ornaments and a lampshade don't we?  Well put them to good use and don't leave those lampshades and chandeliers untouched during the holidays.  Lighting sets the mood in your home or office, it brings warmth to a room during those cold winter months....so what better way to welcome in the holidays then by decorating your lampshades.  Here are just a couple examples of what we mean.  Happy Holidays and stay warm!  Jenny

Take a walk on the wild side!

I may be getting ready to date myself, but here goes!  We all know the song by Donny Osmond A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY, A LITTLE BIT ROCK 'N ROLL right?  Well that is how I feel about Jubilee.   Jubilee is A LITTLE BIT SHABBY CHIC, A LITTLE BIT FUNKY TOO!  (corny....I know)   It's Friday, so I felt it appropriate to give you a little peek at our wild side.  Just a couple more of the wonderful items coming soon.  Have a great weekend!  Jenny

From ordinary to extraordinary....magnet magic!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving...the Jubilee staff sure did!  I wanted to show you a little something fun to do with magnets (a new addition to the Jubilee line). Magnets can be used in so many different ways but one of my favorites is how they help transform an ordinary chandelier into something extraordinary!  Checkout the before and after photos....just imagine the possibilities!  Until next time:)  Jenny

Lighting up the holidays

Let's light up your home for the holidays!  Lighting is one of the most important elements in decorating, yet is often the most overlooked.  Jubilee has been charming our homes with its breathtaking array of colors and subtle vintage style for many years.  When deciding what lighting to use in your home think outside of the box.  Pick the perfect chandelier to cozy up your master bath or even accent a corner in a reading room.  A chandelier can be the finishing touch in that perfectly dreamy nursery.  The right lighting can be both a little funky and a little sweet at the same time.  Let your imagination run wild, you'll be amazed at all of your "bright" ideas!  Jenny

I think I've become a knob snob!

Jubilee's new knobs are in and they are FABULOUS! What is the simplest way to save money on upgrading your bathroom, kitchen, or old chest...change the knobs. How do you go from ordinary to extraordinary....change the knobs. What is the easiest way to update...change the knobs. You get my point. Here is just a sampling of what Jubilee has to offer. I bet you can understand why I've become a knob snob! Enjoy, Jenny

How to get your decorating funk on...

So one day a couple of months ago my 9 yr. old daughter walks in, hugs me, and announces that her "beautiful" room just doesn't fit her funky personality. Sadly, I must concede she was right....only problem; after 13 yrs. of decorating in the children's industry, I've NEVER done funky! What I did know is that Mackenzie is our target market so Jubilee had to get their "funk" on:) I'm adding a picture (please excuse the iPhone quality) of what we did. I think you'll see we found a really nice happy medium, and assuming many of you face this same challenge, we are excited to be introducing it to the market. Those fabulous colorful flowers attached to the shade....those are magnets! I'm also adding a sneak peek of another new introduction. The scalloped round magnet board is displaying one of our new metal letters and a butterfly magnet. Exciting new things coming your way. Jenny

P. S. Best of luck decorating for your "tweener"!

Meet the staff....well the office dog:)

Introducing......Rocky, the office dog. Why is he in the office you ask? He serves two purposes: 1) to annoy Cary 2) protection. Rocky is all of 3.5 lbs. and about 8 inches high. There is a reason they call Chihuahuas "sharks", ask our mailman he won't enter the office! Which leads me to Rocky's picture. On this particular day he acquired a chicken bone at lunch. Would you reach in there and take it? Rocky's Mom is Nancy (designer extraordinaire) and Rocky's babysitter is me....we really shouldn't get in to that:) Back to work! Jenny

Blogger challenged!

Oh my....never did I realize how totally blogger challenged I am! Please feel free to laugh, but promise you will hang in there:) As I type I'm not even sure where it will land on the page, how do I change the header, how do I tag things, or add pictures? Yes, I've found the help page, but whether I understand it is another thing.

On to the real business....Jubilee Collection is now blogging! It may not be attractive, but we'll get there. We want to keep you informed of new products, company specials, get feedback, and more then anything let you get to know us.

Okay, I'm going to try to add a picture now. Fingers crossed it shows up! There it is....isn't it beautiful?!? Until next time. My head hurts! Jenny
