In Memorandum: Terri Glenn

You’ve likely seen in posts or designer dishes past, vintage finds that we’ve repurposed in projects or for ourselves.   We always enjoy our scouting trips for these unique pieces that ooze character.  A typical stop for years has been Architectural Antiques Warehouse on Highway 61…our favorite for irons, unique architectural remnants ranging from antique doors and windows to mantels and shutterdogs, beautiful urns and planters, light fixtures and candelabras. 

 

 

One much anticipated staple at this establishment was Terri Glenn.  She was always so friendly, helpful and humorous.  Whether joking about the extreme temperatures in the store [hot as blazes or utterly frigid - at least to us here in Charleston] or telling us the history of a particular piece, she was always generous with her time with us and truly sincere in our conversations.  It was always a pleasure to visit with her when we stopped by to see the latest inventory. 

 

 

Last week we heard the extremely saddening news that Terri recently passed away from a house fire.  We send our condolences to her family and friends and are afraid our visits are never going to be quite the same without her welcoming smile and lighthearted banter that we’ve grown accustomed to over the past three years.  

 

Memorial donations can be made to Charleston Animal Society or the American Red Cross. 

 

Here are a few of our favorites from Architectural Antiques that we’ve used throughout the years.  Be sure to stop by their cash & carry sale this week to get some great pricing on unique finds.
