 We decided to turn this trip into a mini holiday where we went sight seeing in and around London. Upon our arrival we navigated Hyde Park, waved to the Queen at the Palace and indulged in a plate of fish and chips.

 With that out of the way we spent the next day at Westminster Abbey and The British Museum (where we were in awe of the Elgin Marbles). They were a bucket list thing for me and an eye opener for Anne.

 Our day excursion outside of London to Hampton Court was a colourful experience with the locals (ask us). Hampton court is a castle that dates back to medieval times and was finished by Christopher Wren during the Renaissance.

 We then spent a day apart doing our own thing I went museums and Anne went shopping.

Friday we connected with the VISpring group and so began our journey into the professional world of Fine Hand Built Mattresses.

 We toured London retailers who sell and specialize in VISpring.

These included And So To Bed, Selfridges and of course Harrods’s!

Each store had a slightly different take on how to demonstrate the proper mattress for the individual. But they all had the common goal of making certain that each customer was getting the correct firmness and comfort to promote a sound, restful sleep. Anne and Bruce both benefited greatly from this experience….. the mattress specialist at Harrods was especially helpful and demonstrated a knowledge base that was most impressive. Just an FYI  VISpring is Harrods premiere mattress and VISpring has it’s own gallery within Harrods. Two models exclusive to Harrods are both made by VIspring!

 Upon arriving at Plymouth we toured the harbour and waterfront taking in the sea air and smells of the various restaurants wafting thru the narrow streets.

 Our tour of the factory and VISpring headquarters demonstrated the breadth of the product line as well as the truly handmade quality that the dedicated workers put into each and every mattress.

 Here we saw the entire mattress building process from the raw materials thru to the shipping of finished product. All fibres are natural and there is no off-gassing. Their exclusive alloy springs are spun cold (not tempered) which contributes to the longevity of their tensile strength.

Pride in quality and craftsmanship is one of the cornerstones of our supplier, Regency House.  Not unlike the award winning Hollywood sweetheart, the Hepburn sofa reflects the results of over 35 years of hard work and dedication.  A timeless beauty makes a lasting impression.

Audrey Hepburn was the epitome of urban chic, and so is her sofa.  The curved back design is blanketed in golden fabric, silky to the touch.  Beautifully encased in an espresso wood frame, the stunning accent pillows make it a classic.  Gorgeous!

A visit to our showroom is all it will take to convince you that quality is indeed affordable.  Regularly priced at $4,369, we are excited to be able to offer it at just $2,999.  Add the matching X backed armchair and it’s Tea Time At Tiffany’s.

Do people say you’re a little bit anal?  Can you accurately cost out a purchase order, answer the phone and enter details about a problem a customer has, balance the cost of an incoming load of freight with the invoices, phone customers to schedule delivery and vendors to check on an order, and do this all without someone looking over your shoulder telling you what needs to be done next?  Can you interact with customers in a fun but professional manner?  Does it bother you enough that when things don’t quite add up you become a private investigator to get to the bottom of it?  Do you like variety in your workday and can you work a schedule of Tuesday through Saturday?  Can you survive happily on 30K – 38k per year?  In short are you my next customer care specialist?  Now you’re probably wondering if all this will keep you busy all day and the answer will be no.  In your spare time you will help out printing price tags making signage and host of other small jobs, maybe even helping a customer load a smaller purchase into their vehicle.  It’s hectic. But you’re going to be working surrounded by beautiful things. That’s always a plus. And you’re going to love your co-workers.  Convince us that you’re the person that we need.  Send your story to careers@mcelherans.com, fax to 780-448-2593 or apply in person.

We, at McElheran’s, truly believe that it is more than okay to have fun at work and possible to do so while being productive.  No one has demonstrated this more than our warehouse/delivery workers.  It is pure joy to be around these guys when they are in a playful mood and they have managed to turn many a frown upside down, both with staff and customers.

Recently, West Edmonton Mall’s Comic Strip, held their 5^th annual ‘Funniest Person With A Day Job’ Contest. Our very own warehouse worker extraordinaire, Scott Belford, not only made it to the final round but ‘smoked em’ with his uncanny humour.  He won the grand prize!  It was an amazing evening of nothing but laughter and good times.  Everyone in attendance was impressed with the talent demonstrated by this city’s, fun loving, ‘day job’ workers, not to mention the courage and moxie they would need to go up onto that stage.  None were more impressed and proud, however, than the staff of McElheran’s Fine Furniture.  That’s our boy!!

“I’ve made people laugh my entire life which mostly got me into trouble until I was out of school.  My mom tells me one of my junior high school teachers confessed needing to bite on the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing as my behavior was definitely considered inappropriate in the classroom and he didn’t want to encourage it…..but it was so funny!  In high school my chemistry teacher tried to console her by saying “You can always sell him to the circus!” I am just a happy guy and I like to make my days fun, regardless of where I am or what I am doing”

Humour is life’s good medicine and those who deliver it are definitely gifted.  How fortunate, for us, that Edmonton’s 2010 Funniest Person With A Day Job lights up our lives daily!  Thanks Scott and Congratulations!  We are all so very proud of you.

 If you need more than just a desk the collection also has a credenza & hutch, file cabinet and a bookcase.

 This desk has been our bestselling desk but thanks to a special offer from Sligh we were able to buy a few of them for a fabulous price.  It regularly is over five grand but we’ve got three for $2599.99, while they last.   Hurry on down before someone else corals up this great buy.
