Antiques
The Alabama Antique Trail
There are plenty of amazing antique and vintage thrift stores in the area. Many of these place don’t advertise of have websites so we direct guests to the Alabama Antique Trail website. We’ve also created a few videos of our favorites on our YouTube channel at the link below. We’re fans of the gorgeous European furniture finds at Ponder Antiques and European Treasures. We could spend hours browsing the knick knacks, collectibles and fun finds at Alice & Wonderland. The Old Armory has the best collections of vintage records and magazines. Cloudy day? Go antiquing!
Boutiques
Downtown Fairhope
When it comes to wandering streets full of artsy little boutiques you just can’t beat Fairhope, a charming village situated on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay. Fairhope was founded in November, 1894 as a utopian single tax colony and has evolved into a wonderfully eclectic community with a thriving art scene, over eighty adorable shops and quaint restaurants. There’s a First Friday art walk the first Friday of every month and many more art shows and festivals. Fairhope is also home to an abundance of public art and miles of public bay front parks with walking trails and a pier that extends over the water nearly a mile.
