Sparksville auction: 'I hope they'll be dreamers' By Linda Waggener Who will be the new owners of the Jeff and Henrietta Scott homeplace, studio and apple orchard after Saturday's auction? "I hope they'll be dreamers, Henrietta says, "I hope they're dreamers who know exactly how these buildings can continue to have life and meaning just like Jeffrey and I did." Her beloved Jeffrey Scott died three years ago and as hard as she's tried since then, she says she finally had to admit the energy of the studio is gone for her and the physical strength to run the orchard is not there to keep it all at its best. So she chose to auction it and the sale is this coming Saturday, June 15, 2019. Henrietta will be there, saying goodbyes to everyone who comes to the auction. And as the sale closes, she will say a final goodbye to the property on which they've raised their daughters, expanded at retirement from lifetime teaching careers, and built businesss. Then she will take residence near family in Somerset and begin to paint again and her work will tell how her life goes from there. Her paintings during Jeff's illness and in the months after his death, she says, were terrible, angry things. She will try to look for the beauty again. She is the visual artist and art teacher. Jeff was a history teacher who became an artist in their Highland Raku studio. "He simply bonded with the art of pottery making," she said. "I had taken training in it and never really loved it, but Jeff did and he was excellent at it." Scroll down the page to the Golden Rule-Wilson auction banner ad for more. Click it to visit sale details. The sale begins in Sparksville Saturday, June 15, 2019 at 10amCT. Thinking of the difficulty for Henrietta and her goodbyes this week, I'll add photos and comments. We shared tears and hugs at the open house last Saturday. She and Jeff were part of my family's life through the raising, education and launching of our children, around art and around local business ventures. Now Henrietta and I share being the ones left behind after having lost a partner of 48 years, and our monthers. The grief is unimaginable. - LW This story was posted on 2019-06-10 10:02:28
