LifeStyles Furniture of Moline, IL and furniture manufacturer Ekornes in Norway have partnered together to assist the Humility of Mary Shelter by offering a unique special holiday promotion for this local Quad Cities organization. When you make a $50 donation to the Humility of Mary Shelter through LifeStyles Furniture you’ll receive $200 off your Stressless recliner purchase. $50 donations can be made at the time of purchase both in the Moline store or online through LifeStylesFurniture.com.

The Humility of Mary Shelter is a social action ministry established by the Congregation of the Humility of Mary located in Davenport, Iowa. It serves the greater Quad Cities area as well as surrounding townships. The Humility of Mary Shelter assists homeless and struggling families to stay together by offering support in the way of canned food, clothing donations as well as providing housing, educational support and social services until families are able to be self-sufficient.

In 1969 religious renewal swept through the Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council and the Sisters of Humility were among the first communities to adopt a policy of self-determination. What may have seemed radical at the time was consistent with the community’s founding philosophy that members would earn their own living and go wherever they saw a need. Today, each Sister of Humility is free to decide for herself which ministry she feels called to and is best experienced and qualified for based on her training and experience.

This self-determination has allowed the ministries of the Sisters of Humility to blossom as these visionary women can now use their personal talents and gifts in the service of God. Today you’ll find CHM’s in a diverse range of professions and positions that include library services, counseling, homeless services, medical assistance, education and multi-cultural ministries. Sisters are leaders, directors, administrators and management. Truly women with vision who can get things done. LifeStyles Furniture and Ekornes are proud to partner together to help this organization and to raise donations this year for the Humility of Mary Shelter. For more information about the Congregation of the Humility of Mary visit their website at http://www.chmiowa.org.

I was shopping with my family the other night and have noticed many stores starting to put out holiday decorations and items. Everything from candy canes, to Christmas tress and holiday themed merchandise. I always wonder about how stores decide on the timing for choosing to decorate their stores for the holidays. For stores I think it’s easy to get into the mindset that the holidays are coming but for shoppers we typically aren’t really ready until it gets closer to Christmas.

When is a good time to start shopping for Christmas though? I guess it would depend on what you’re shopping for. Small items or clothing can probably be done after Thanksgiving when many retail stores start firing up the holiday sale promotions. In furniture though it’s always a good idea to get out there early though. There are several reasons why. First, some furniture items are special order. These may require anywhere from 4-6 weeks to be made and then delivered to you. Shopping early will give you enough time to order in what you want in the color and style you prefer. Second, many special in store furniture promotions can be based on the quantity of items they have in stock. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. If you can get in early though you’ll have your selection of the colors you want and won’t be coming in towards the end of a promotion when much of the selection is gone. Third, giving yourself time to scout out what you need in furniture will help to give you a better idea of what you want and eliminates the anxiety of waiting until a week before Christmas when shopping can seem overwhelming with the limited time remaining and the large crowds moving through the stores.

When to start holiday shopping all depends on what you’re looking for. In this post we’ve discussed that smaller items and clothing are probably best purchased just after Thanksgiving when retail stores begin their holiday sales and promotions. For larger items like furniture however, it is recommended to begin shopping anywhere from 4-6 weeks ahead of Christmas for several reasons. Some furniture items may be special order and you’ll want to allow enough time for these to be made and delivered. Special in store furniture specials may be sold out before Christmas so begin looking early so you can find the best selection. Avoid the large crowds by starting your search early. This will help you to get into that holiday mindset, avoid the holiday stress and may help to make for a great Christmas for both you and your family.

Ekornes Stressless furniture originates from Norway. This Scandinavian furniture manufacturer was founded back in the 1930’s by a man by the name of Jens Ekornes. The company’s original direction was in building steel components for the mattress industry. Always looking for a way to build a better product Jens Ekornes took it upon himself to create his own line of mattresses and hence the brand Svane was created. Through the years Ekornes would continue to grow the company and it ventured into producing furniture components which then led it into building club furniture such as sofas, loveseats and matching tables. In 1971 Ekornes would introduce the Stressless recliner to the world which still features many patented features not found in any other recliner in the world. If you’d like to learn more visit this link about Ekornes Stressless furniture.

      

Ekornes recently introduced a new Stressless recliner by the name of the Jazz. This new design features a unique styling that brings together metal and leather and pays homage to the original design introduced back in 1971 but with some modern improvements. This design created an interesting shape in the base of the chair and that same design has now been made in several matching tables that have been added to the Ekornes line of furniture products. For more information visit this link for Ekornes Jazz Tables.

These new designs include:
Ekornes Jazz Round Table: L:41 in. W:41 in. H:17 3/4 in.
Ekornes Jazz Sofa Table: L:55 in. W:35 1/2in. H:17 3/4in.
Ekornes Jazz Corner Table: L:23 1/4 in. W:26 3/4 in. H:19 1/4 in.
