SUMMARY:The Discerning Collector: The Collection of Lady Evelyn
DESCRIPTION:Amsterdam\, France\, To Chicago! The Estate of World Traveler & Garden Design Provocateur Marguerite Gluck!  	\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	This is the estate of premiere luxury landscape gardener MARGUERITE GLUCK aka The Fairy Garden Mother! \n1542 W. Wellington Ave  8/23/24th 9-3pm\nMarguerite Gluck\, one of Chicagolands oldest and most loved landscape\, gardening artist. Her lovely shop in Andersonville was an institution. Her estate opens to the public August 23/24th from 9-3pm. (1542 W Wellington Ave) Marguerite had an impeccable eye! She traveled the world sourcing antiques\, garden décor and interesting oddities from Amsterdam\, Paris--the world! \nBecause Estate Sale Goddess believes EVERYONE has a story\, we were lucky enough to venture down the rabbit hole and discover Marguerite's BFF. One of our goals is to always help YOU understand who the client was\, from a human perspective. Please grab a tissue and a cup of tea. \n\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n				\n					\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	"My Fairy Garden Mother" \nA LOVE LETTER!\n  \nMarguerite made beauty for a living. She sowed joy in abundance. Not a single root or shoot was tucked in the earth or tied to a trellis without the ringing sound of her laughter.  \n*We feel her wonderful vibe in her home. Her selection of antiques\, the carefully ironed and starched linens. Her space where she designed and created her works... \nIf I tried to describe her\, I’d begin with her face. Her face was alive\, was radiant\, was always revved up in joy. Or deep concentration. Her laugh came easy\, so easy. Her limbs flowed. She was a ballerina in the everyday. Clogs buried in garden\, wielding a shovel or pruners\, she swayed with the wind\, with the whims\, with purpose. \nShe planted my secret garden\, the one that meanders along the side of my house\, from my writing room window\, past the kitchen door\, and into the garden out back. It’s the place I’d point to if pressed to answer the question: Where did you finally find your long-sought peace? It was there in the garden that Marguerite grew. \nI first met Marguerite a garden ago\, back in 1991\, months after we married\, my beloved and I. The very day we wandered into the old Victorian that became our house for a decade\, the house to which both our boys first came home\, the house that held so many joys and so many sorrows\, Marguerite was there. She was packing up boxes with Jim the sculptor who was dying of AIDS\, and who would soon leave us his beautifully sculpted three-story house (and a set of Old Willow dishes besides). They wept and wailed and laughed together. We heard the echo of their affections before we saw them\, and when we climbed the stairs there she was: radiant\, a mop of blond curls\, eyes hazel and sparkling. \nShe knelt beside me summer after summer\, teaching me much of what I know about what grows in a garden. We wandered nurseries and tree lots. We planted according to her unorthodox teachings. When anything ailed\, she knew the fix. Or we yanked it and started again. \nMy jewel box of a tiny urban garden\, one where the alley rats dared not roam for the fierce farm cat who patrolled it\, grew to be a wonder. One whose measure in my mind far exceeded a yardstick. \nWhen at last we decided we’d finished our work\, at least for the time being\, Marguerite and Ted\, her rabbi of a husband who presided over a congregation of his psychotherapy clients\, came by one late summer’s evening to bless the little plot. In a story I love so much I included it on pages 37 and 38 of The Book of Nature**\, Ted offered up fertility prayers for my garden\, that it would blossom and bloom\, and multiply. Four months later\, on the brink of my 44th birthday\, after eight years of broken hearts and infertility\, I discovered that I was the one blossoming and multiplying. I was “with child\,” as the Bible would put it. I always giggled that Ted had mixed up his fertility prayers\, and pulled out the ones for the barren woman instead of the ones for the garden. \nAnd so\, of course\, and ever since\, Marguerite is the one to whom I turned with every garden question\, and every delight as it bloomed. When Ted died not quite two years ago\, I knew Marguerite’s heart was shattered. And there was no glue in the world to put it back together. \nMarguerite died on a Monday\, and was buried on Tuesday. And ever since I’ve been strolling through my garden\, stopping to marvel here\, stooping to deadhead there. I’ve been schlepping my hose\, and giving big drinks to each and every bloom bequeathed to me by my Marguerite. \nMarguerite will always bloom in my garden. Her longtime sidekick\, David the cop\, is coming soon to help me dream once again. There is a plot under the ornamental lilac and the row of burning bush\, and I have named it Marguerite’s Garden\, and I will be planting it before the month of her death turns to August. \nAnd it will be abundant in beauty. Because that’s what Marguerite taught me to grow. And that will never die. \n \nMarguerite’s genius in the garden spread far beyond our little block. When she couldn’t be contained\, she launched a for-hire garden crew (a motley crew counting two cops\, a U of C theology grad fluent in Mandarin Chinese\, a commodities trader\, a banker\, and a pet photographer) with a seasons-long waiting list. She planted tulips by the thousands up and down Boule Mich\, Chicago’s grand Magnificent Mile. She planted the city’s lushest rooftops and balcony gardens. She was a connoisseur of miniatures\, and knew how to cram the most in the least. She opened a dream of a flower shop in Andersonville\, aptly named Marguerite Gardens\, and twice daily received imports from her beloved Netherlands. The shop\, with the bell that tinkled as you walked in\, held a European-style flower market\, and was stuffed to the rafters with eighteenth-century antiques\, from bird cages to terraria. Aptly\, she was named for the daisy whose name means “pearl” in French\, and is the bloom from which petals are plucked in the prognostication game\, “he loves me\, he loves me not.” Married for 43 years to the inimitable\, unorthodox\, Adler School & Yale-educated rabbi and psychotherapist\, Theodore Gluck.  \n. . .That garden—where a priest\, a rabbi\, and a tight circle of people we love gathered for blessings shortly after the births of each of our boys; where baby bunnies and nestlings and goldfish were buried after premature deaths; where our stubbornly resistant house cat mastered the art of escape—that plat of earth became as sacred to me as any cloister garth. \nNot only was it where I knelt to teach my firstborn the magic of tucking a spit-out watermelon seed into the loam and\, each morning after\, tracking its implausible surge. During seven long years of miscarriage after miscarriage\, ectopic pregnancy and emergency surgery\, and doctors finally telling us to give up hope\, I dug and I dug in that garden\, all but willing the tiniest bulbs and tenderest sprouts to beat impossible odds\, refusing to let anything else die on my watch. And then\, at the end of one summer\, as the crab apples were starting to turn\, a rabbi who lived down the block came by with his wife\, whom I’d long called my fairy Garden Mother for her magical ways and her unbroken guidance. Standing under the stars\, the rabbi\, his wife\, and I\, we blessed the garden itself\, casting prayers and sprinklings of water. By that Christmas\, I was pregnant\, with nary a drop of medical intervention. Just shy of forty-five when that blessing of a baby arrived the next August\, I’ve always wondered if maybe the rabbi mixed up the garden fertility prayers. \n \nMarguerite Gluck & Theodore Gluck Wedding \n*Yes my Loves. We are all connected. Come out and feel the beautiful bountiful loving vibe that is Marguerite. This was beautifully written by her Bestie Barbara Mahany. \nALL LOVE\, Til Soon! \nYOUR Estate Sale Goddess \n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n				\n					\n	\n\n	\n				\n					\n	\n\n	\n				\n					\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	VINTAGE Shopkeepers\, Farmhouse\, PRIMITIVES & Lovers of Shabby Chic!
