An adorable home on University Boulevard filled with surprises for the ardent shopper. As soon as you walk up on the porch, pay special attention to the teak patio furniture. Once inside, it’s the antiques we think you’ll notice – everything from the game table to a pair of 19th C Smokers Bow Chairs. Fred’s personal favorite – an antique wooden box. I’m captivated by the vintage Mexican pottery … large piece of antique textile … and doll furniture created by the homeowner’s father. Two other items were additional standouts – a large very unusual soup tureen and an old framed Map of Texas. It’s one of Ronda’s smaller sales, but one that packs a punch. Let’s start with …
