The Deerest of Donations
Written By: A.J. Stewart | Issue: 2018/12 - December
For more than 20 years, High Country Furniture & Design in Waynesville has been providing residents of the Plateau with beautiful furniture and accessories for your home. They pride themselves on their wide and eclectic selection, as they should. High Country is the place to go to find that perfect piece. Whether it’s for the living room, dining room or office, they have the perfect piece.
Owners Anne and Chuck Worrell have recently added a very special piece to their collection: a pair of bronze deer. At the 2018 Fall Furniture Market in High Point, NC, the Worrell’s placed the winning bid on the deer in an auction to benefit Whole Child International. All of the proceeds from the auction were donated to the organization.
Whole Child International is dedicated to “improving the lives of orphaned, abandoned, abused and neglected children worldwide.” Their goal is the restructuring of existing orphanages and institutions to focus on the emotional needs of the children, as well as their physical needs. The first few years of childhood are critical in the development of social and emotional skills. The organization was founded by Karen Spencer, wife of Charles, Ninth Earl Spencer (younger brother of Diana, Princess of Wales).
The bronze deer have been autographed by Charles next to the Spencer family crest on the base of each deer. The Worrell family will keep one of the deer for their private collection. The other will be available for purchase. To see the deer and find your own unique addition to your home, visit High Country Furniture & Design on Dellwood Road in Waynesville.
You can also visit one of their other locations in Downtown Waynesville and Main Street in Hendersonville. For more information, visit highcountry.com and like them on Facebook.
