Well if I haven't mentioned before that I work for the most amazing people then I am mentioning it now, however, I am pretty sure that I have said this once or twice before. We had our annual holiday party on Thursday night and WOW is all I can say! We went to Ichiban Steak House in Harrah's here in Reno and then went to see the Shanghai Acrobatics and Kung Fu show after dinner.
Here we all are wearing sweater samples from the shop, even Greg got in on the fun!
It was a night to remember for sure and this has been a year to put in the books too! We have
Laura got up in front of all us beans (a lot of new little beans) and told them all that she thought I am the face of Jimmy Beans Wool and well dang I cried like a baby. So I have been thinking about this ever since and trying to put it into perspective for myself and I have come up with this little analogy, so bear (hmm should this be bare with me?) with me while I do my best to express my feelings.
Yes, most of you have met me and you see my face both in the shop and in a lot of our videos, but a face has a body and I am blessed with the most amazing body to help my face smile for all of you!
I am so very lucky to have such a great retail team behind me helping my face be a happy one and that is Terry & Amerique.
Terry has come to us like a gift from the knitting gods and is so genero

Then there is Amerique who has such a gentle voice and beautiful smile that I keep asking her to quit Grad School and come work all the time, but alas, she seems to have a goal in mind with this school thing, ha ha! Amerique and her fabulous smile are in the picture to the left!
Then a face has a body with a head and brain which runs all the other parts of the body. That head and brain are of course Laura and
Then there is the neck, shoulders and arms and that has to be our new E-
Of course there are hands and fingers so the whole body is dexterous and can function in a elegant way and that has to be our own Sandy who is so amazing pulling your orders, organizing the back and keeping us in supplies that our body would just crumple into a heap without her there. Thanks my 'Jo' aka Sandy for all you do to keep me up and running in the front!! Here is Sandy to the left wearing her fabulous gifts from Amerique and knitting, who would have guessed?
You know when I think of hands and fingers I have to also think of Victoria who is our buyer and keeps all of our inventory flowing, so you don't ha

When I think of hands and fingers
Now we have grown and have added some new muscles to our body and those run some of the things that you may no

Then there is Shevawn who came back from India in late spring and somehow we lucked out and she started working for us with her fabulous personality and amazing ability to learn; we are truly lucky to have her doing our back orders, checking our shipments
Now we do have some really new little beans and I would like to introduce you to Leanne, Ai
That brings me to the heart of the body, well sure it is all of us, but truly all of you who are our customers and keep coming back to us with your business. We know you can shop elsewhere and we hope you do too, at your LYS, but when you can't get what you need there we are so humbled that you shop with us.
So the body that is Jimmy Beans Wool thanks all of you for making us such a success and we all wish you the best of Holidays with a New Year filled with everything that you deserve.
As always happy knitting! Jeanne
Wow - what a nice evening! I think I would have totally freaked out if I went to a restaurant and had seen ALL of you there. Do people recognize you in public and give you the "celebrity" treatment? Thanks for the photos. It was fun to look at them and read about your special evening out for Christmas. Merry Christmas to ALL of you and the very best, most wonderful New Year wishes to all of you too!!!!
ReplyDeleteJeanne - you are blessed to have the job you have (duh - you already know that!) but you touch people in a way that really brings them joy in the knitting world. I'm so happy to have you in my life, and that Laura spoke for you in such a way affirms what the rest of us knows. Happy New Decade to all at JBW!
