Antique Maison Ulman
|
This branch of Antique Maison is located on historic Ulman Avenue, only a minute away from the Second Street location. Visit booths from various dealers and enjoy an open floor plan with nice showcase and lots of wandering room. While still embracing the antique mall motif, Ed and Sylvia have ventured into food service with the addition of the Ulman Tearoom. This full-service café boasts a large dining room as well as a private dining area. The chintzy china and floral tablecloths set the scene for lunch and tea Wednesday through Saturday, 11am-2pm. Sip and reminisce about Sunday afternoons at Grandma's house or enjoy a cup of coffee on the beautiful back patio complete with a yard fit for Fido. The tearoom is also available for private parties, bridal showers and other special occasions.
Bay Emporium
|
Everything. Under. One. Roof. This place entertains a break from the traditional stall-after-stall antique mall. The genius behind this concept is artist and entrepreneur Vicki Niolet. Shop up and downstairs for a variety of goods from each distinct niche. The individual rooms serve as small shops, giving the tenants the option of being their own shopkeeper or letting customers make their way to a central check-out in their absence. Follow the fabulous variety of stations showcasing everything from antiques to fine architectural salvage to steampunk artwork. Make sure to take notice of the impeccable craftsmanship of the building that summons the past-life of the historic Woodmen of the World headquarters-the epicenter of polite society long, long ago. Let the ghosts guide you through the lively shops as you catch a glimpse of the old cemetery through the wavy glass windows. In this building, it's easy to feel like you've died and entered paradise.
The French Potager
|
This hybridized antique boutique is located on the Second Block of Main Street in a beautiful shotgun cottage. Brimming with character and swagger, this shop is the brainchild of young entrepreneur and author of this slightly biased blurb, Martha Whitney Butler. TFP specializes in a unique array of items from different vendors and even doubles as a florist. When you walk through the door, your senses will illuminate from the smell of fresh cut flowers - "a lot better than the dead-grandma smell that seems to manifest itself in some places," Butler chides. Outdoor booths grace the side of the building, boasting everything from patio sets to plants. You'll catch Martha Whitney spinning vinyl records selected from her personal collection on her coral-colored portable Crosley record player or even serenading the streets with French-centric tunes from her outdoor Bluetooth speaker. The hipster vibe of this shop is inescapable and you can't leave without it rubbing off on you a little. #winning

Magnolia Antiques
|
Step off of Second and Main through the glass corner doors of Magnolia Antiques and you'll find a treasure trove of antiques, collectibles, and vintage items that will leave even the seasoned collector in awe. Jack and Glenda Shornick have been in this historic location since February of 2008. They've made an excellent use of their space by turning it into a true antique mall with a variety of vendors including The Doll Doctor (formerly of Vintiques - see below!). Magnolia Antiques has gone green, growing even more with the addition of plants and fertilizers from Deep Roots Nursery. Let their truly organic plants pave the way for your own farm-to-table movement. As a bonus and to the delight of antique aficionados around town, they also carry Howard's furniture polishes.

Antique Maison
111 N. Second St.
|
The large plate glass windows of Antique Maison invite nose-pressers to go beyond the glass and experience the vast (and seemingly unending) collection of antiques, home décor, and artwork this mega-mall has to offer. Whatever you do, don't blink or you're sure to miss a treasure here and there. I swear this place ends in Alabama, so make sure to ask directions from the friendly staff and they can help guide you to any specific item you're looking for. Owned by savvy seasoned entrepreneurs, Sylvia and Ed Young, Antique Maison has "something for everyone". They've even opened up another location close by on Ulman Avenue (see below). You'll be hard-pressed to find a home in the Bay that doesn't boast at least one item from this store. Good luck leaving empty-handed!
Blue Rose Estate Sales
|
Their new location in Bay St. Louis is the successor to the famous Blue Rose Antiques, which was a Pass Christian shopping icon for decades. They've taken to the corner of Main Street and St. Francis Street in the old Loiacano's Gym- the perfect building for an antique mega-store. The new Blue Rose “in the Bay” is managed by Jul Lee Dedeaux, who opened it in partnership with her brother, Herbie Pursley and Phillip La Grange. The store is filled with higher end furniture and collectibles like chandeliers, china, pottery, crystal and stamps. Since much of the merchandise is purchased in Florida (which is filled with family treasures brought down from New York originally), amazing things appear here that aren't normally seen in Southern antique shops. Like very astonishing bubble-front glass secretaries. Dedeaux sells antique, vintage or new – as long as it’s high quality.
Countryside Antiques
|
Celebrating 37 years of business in 2014, Countryside Antiques thrives as the Mecca for top-notch, high-end antiques. Owners Tom Cottom and Mike Mayo supply the South with the textbook definition of luxurious antiques imported from France and England. Not only do they carry pieces dating back prior to the 1900s, they also carry fine art, majolica, silver, art glass, Staffordshire, cut glass, hand-knotted Persian rugs, religious artifacts, and so much more. In this shop you will find traditional furnishings seen in the grandest Mississippi and Louisiana estates and plantation homes. Look no further if you want to decorate with true antiques and let Cottom and Mayo provide you with excellent service and direction. They say you can't buy good taste, but if you could, you'd be able to buy it here.
Full Moon Clockworks
|
Just a stone’s throw from Main Street, Full Moon Clockworks is home to the only old-school clockmaker in the area.
Stepping through the door of the shop will make a visitor feel as if they have literally stepped back through time. The front room of the historic cottage is absolutely filled with clocks of all ages, shapes and sizes. They hang from the walls, line the shelves and utterly surround the workbench of master clockmaker Terry Downs. Downs is a horologist – someone trained to work with timekeeping devices. As a master clockmaker, she repairs and restores all sorts of antique and vintage clocks, a skill that is becoming increasingly rare, since older clockmakers are either passing away or retiring and few younger people have an interest in mechanical things like “old-fashioned” clocks. In addition to restoring clocks to a healthy working condition in her cottage workshop, like an old-fashioned doctor, Downs also makes house-calls when necessary – mostly for grandfather clocks. Since she’s sometimes out “on-call,” customers are encouraged to make appointments for a clock consultation.

Treasures of the Bay
|
The Waveland Business of the Year! Located in Waveland on Nicholson Avenue, the bright turquoise building invites coastal shoppers to come in and search for that perfect piece. Owners Chuck Underwood and Glenn Hood have cornered the market for coastal furniture and décor in this town, and they've got just the thing for your space.

Visit their garden area and fall in love with their selection of hand-crafted gifts- most notably their candles. Everyone in the Bay-Waveland area will attest to the high quality of their irresistible scented soy candles. Do not leave this place without picking one up!
Vintiques Doll Hospital
|
This Main Street shop has relocated to Magnolia Antiques (200 Main Street - see above). Annie the Doll Doctor is on call! Annie Breault. She’s one of the few certified doll doctors in the area and has even studied her craft in Germany. Many of the dolls in her shop are past patients who she’s kept from a sad end in some trash bin. It's clear Breault finds great joy in her work, but she also takes it very seriously. She belongs to the Doll Doctors Association, which currently has only 101 members nationwide. The association has a code of ethics – just like real physicians - to help safeguard the character and the value of their small patients. Breault explains that sometimes restoration can actually detract from the character of a doll. She carries several rare dolls and a huge selection of antiques and vintage furniture and accessories.
