Have you ever felt like you were in a season of life where you were operating at full throttle? All the time? That’s how I’m feeling these days.
Don’t get me wrong – wonderful things are happening (two graduations and a wedding) – but I’m physically and mentally going 17 hours a day. It’s at times like this that I’m reminded – again – that I’m not 25 years old anymore!
25 year olds are often at the perfect time in their lives to discover Jubilee Furniture. Many are finding and furnishing a first apartment and so a 30,000 square foot warehouse chocked full of amazing, gently used furniture (and some household items) at reasonable prices is like finding a gold mine! A gold mine on North Ave. in Carol Stream, Illinois! Woot to the woo!
Here are a FEW of the things you’ll find at Jubilee Furniture today from 1 to 8 and tomorrow from 9 to 4:

Wheaton College donated about 16 of these sofa manufactured by RJ London specifically for “institutions of higher education” (that’s from their website) – they have a 25 year warranty so you know they’re built to last.

this is an amazing BarcaLounger rocker/recliner (I love the stripes) priced $50

this week we received a wonderful donation from the Bright Horizons’ child care center in Oak Brook – the stackable child’s chairs are manufactured by Virco and are priced $8 each (there is some rust on the chrome parts but the chairs are solid and well built); cubbies, bookcases and child height tables haven’t been priced yet – but talk to me or Dan if you’re interested
No matter what season of life you’re in, dear reader, I pray you’re valuing relationships, looking for opportunities to bless others, remembering to laugh often and not take yourself too seriously (can you tell that’s something I need to work on?).
Love!
