Anyone grow BeautyBush 'Duet' ?

Does anyone grow this plant? I recently bought one @ a local nursery beacuase I fell in love with the beautiful variegated foilage. It's only about a foot tall right now and the tag says it grows 4-5', I was just wondering if anyone has a picture of this plant in their garden they can post. I would like to see what it looks like either in full size, in bloom or in the fall with the white berries on. Basically any info would be helpful. I just wonder if I picked a good shrub or not. Thanks in advance.

You must be talking about a variegated beauty berry (Callicarpa) rather than a beauty bush (Kolkwitzia). Think I've seen it at one or more outlets here, but have not paid much attention - or tried it.
