A woman of incredible taste, and impeccable style, this lovely owner is sharing with us some magnificent, personal belongings. It is extremely obvious her eclectic taste that I am sure was nurtured and supported by her bachelor of arts degree from SMU. She had wonderful adventures traveling in Cuba, sailing on the SS Lurlane from San Francisco to Honolulu. Her studies took her to the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of Honolulu. Her many collections and interests include magnificent art. Including such artists, as Jack Terry, R.C. Gorman, Betty Gold, J Crowell, Peter Hurd, John Norton, John Terry, Ida Millstein, Helen Van Buren, Ted Degrzia Grazia,Tom Noble, Trinidad Osorio, Jack Laycox, just to name a few.
We are privileged to have wonderful Alebrije spirit animals, gorgeous sterling silver and turquoise jewelry, some by the famous New Mexico jeweler, Lee Yazzie. Our home has incredible furnishings acquired from all over the world. There is a beautiful Eucharist/offering box, hand painted one of a kind armoires, display cases, hand designed oversized carved dining table and chairs, hand carved display cabinet, hand carved dressers, accent tables, one of a kind gorgeous lamps, a fabulous hand carved Cradenza with wrought iron hardware, display cabinet with decorative wrought iron straps, Spanish inspired hacienda table and chairs,Vintage Talavera, hand made coffee table, gorgeous hand painted chest. We are offering beautiful pottery by Ishmail Flores and Mata Ortiz. We have hand made stoneware vintage “Rothwoman” from the 1970’s. We also have Pesca pottery dishes hand made with serving pieces.

Our collector has fabulous one of a kind scarves by Gucci, Yves St Laurent, Oscar de La Renta, Museum of Natural art, Emilio Pucci, Laurel Birch, Ono Kim , and many others.
Our awesome hostess’ art collection and fabulous collection of hand painted miniature military figurines inspired international friendships. Each painting, print, military figure inspires a feeling of spiritual self reflection and insight.
Our owner was for many years the manager of the Kings X toy soldiers in the Menger hotel in San Antonio. Her collector friends even included Phil Collins. Most of her collection is retired.
This experience has been such a meaningful journey for our entire staff. We have not only been exposed to many artists and artisans that are truly magnificent, but this eclectic home represents the incredible appreciation she had of life, love, and all things beautiful and different,
We feel blessed to know her family and are anxious to share her life’s mantra with you. See you soon and God Bless!
