Meet Wyatt Washington....





Jubilee Collection warehouse manager extraordinaire! You see the beauty of Wyatt is he isn't just a warehouse manager. He is a 46 year old single, humorous, intelligent, hardworking therapist:) Therapist you ask? Well he does eat lunch with a table full of women everyday. He listens, he smiles, he laughs, and he acts like we're normal. Isn't that what therapy is all about? In actuality Wyatt is a former electrician (comes in handy at a lighting company), one of ten children (insight into his patience), huge Dallas Cowboys fan (Cary forgives him), never misses opening day for the Rangers (says it is April 5, 1:00pm eastern time), and (drum roll please) sings a medley of different songs daily. American Idol material....probably not by Simons standards, but we enjoy it! Wyatt is a vital part of Jubilee Collection, we appreciate everything he does, he brings a smile to work daily.....thank you Wyatt Washington! Till next time, Jenny



Enjoy the pictures...Wyatt is the very handsome man on the right standing with his sidekick Melvin.  The others are Nancy's recent organization hard at work and a daily shipment of boxes preparing to go out.

Mystery solved.....



I hope everyone is off to a fabulous 2010!  It has been VERY busy around Jubilee.  Our new catalog is in and it is gorgeous....a big thank you to Coley:)  We completed our first show of the new year in Atlanta and it was a huge success, Dallas starts this week and we are anticipating a great turnout.  Speaking of Dallas.... when packing for the two shows we noticed something was missing.  For those of you not familiar with the process, for each trade show we send a full set of samples.  Samples are not always merchandise currently in stock, so these samples are PRECIOUS (we can't lose them)!  Well this time we were sending a lot of new product, knobs, magnets, lamp bases, sconces, shades, magnet boards, hooks and alphabet letters (all 26 of them).  When setting up for Dallas something was missing, eight alphabet letters...E, S, O, K, L, T, R, C!  Where in the world could they be, we had them all when the shipment arrived, and letters don't just walk away.  So phone calls in, phone calls out, scavenger hunt in the warehouse, check the trunks of our cars, under our desks, in the closets, periodically accuse each other and then something dawns on me:)  Remember my nine year old Mackenzie's new FUNKY room?  Well check out the attached pic and see if you can figure it out.   Yes folks I stole the letters from the letter box.... whoops!  Well that's it for now, have a great day and please come check out the new product.... we love feedback.  Picture one is the new catalog cover (some color variation, there is no peach) and picture two is, well you know.  Enjoy, Jenny
