JB Winterberry Bids Farewell !

Farewell from JB,

It is with much sadness that we post our goodbyes. After 8 wonderful years, we have decided it is time to close our doors. Our dream had become a reality and then the economy changed that reality. Our love for the shop and Wheaton has carried us a long way. It has been a pleasure to meet each and every one of you. We never thought a small retail venture could have introduced us to so many extraordinary people.

After our shop has closed, we only hope that it' s memory lives on in the history of downtown Wheaton. We have accomplished so much and our hearts are heavy with this decision. However, small shops like ours need customers year long and in this economy only Christmas shoppers can't carry the load for the entire year. From the bottom of our hearts we thank those of you who have tried to support us and the downtown. We will not forget the love you have shown.

As many of you have gotten to know our wonderful group of employees - The JB Girls- they wish to say farewell also. Who would have thought that a group of 20 women could have bonded so deeply because of the love of one great idea...JB Winterberry.

Our "Farewell Sale" begins Monday, June 19th at 9am. All merchandise will be discounted 50% until our inventory is gone. Please stop in to say goodbye, reminisce and purchase a piece of JB Winterberry before it becomes a piece of history.

Thanks to all our terrific customers for 8 years of memories.


Fondly,
Julie, Barb & The JB Girls

Memorial Day Rememberance

Memorial Day is a day of reflection and remembrance. It is a day to remember all of our Fallen Heroes from all of the wars. 

It is a day to think about the families that will forever grieve for their lost loved one. It is a day to be thankful to those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice. They fought and died to win the freedom and democracy that we Americans cherish so dearly. 

They also fought and died to bring that same freedom and democracy to the people of other countries as well.

  JB Winteberry joins you in remembering those who have fought so valiantly for our FREEDOM!

Please remember the 

Wheaton Memorial Day Parade

Welcome to JB Winterberry

You've found our shop and we are glad you did!

     A little about us...

JB Winterberry was founded by mother/daughter team, Barb Mueller and Julie Lancia, seven years ago.  Our mission statement is " Dedicated to Creating A Beautiful Home".  That was our founding statement and still it holds true today, seven years later.

  Our loyal staff believes that Customer Service should be of utmost importance and we hope you feel our dedication, everytime you step through our doors.

  JB Winterberry is comprised of  three Beautiful and Unique Shops.

    

  The Main Street Shop is our Original Shop.  When you enter, your senses will come alive with the fragrance of  HillHouse Reed Diffusers.   Your eyes will rest on beautiful antique hand-colored etchings specially framed for JB Winterberry.  The hedge apple green walls will make you feel comfortable as you wander amongst the wonderful antique finds.  There are plenty of new home decor items as well.  We know you will love your visit.

  Next you will wander down our hall, it has become a shop all it's own.  There you will find a great selection of garden benches, arbors and urns in all shapes, styles and sizes.  Just ask one of the "JB girls"  to help you find just the right one for you.

  At the end of the hall , you will find our Gathering Room.  This room features some of our larger pieces, china cabinets, desks and farm tables.   Archipelago Candle - Bath and Body line are featured here also. This room offers a " library" feel.   The displays are beautifully designed and ready for you to enjoy.  We are always happy to help you design a vignette for your own home.  Just Ask!

  Down the wide staircase, you will find the "Secret Garden".  Bringing the outdoors into your home is our inspiration here.  Architectural finds, outdoor Fiberstone urns and statues, florals (we are told we have the best around) and darling metal yard and garden decorations abound.  We know you will love this room.  We feature Votivo candles, room sprays, soaps and lotions.  You will surely find the perfect gift here!
