Bay Elements
Inside the 100 year old historic building find an electrifying fusion of unique artifacts, re-purposed findings, antiques, art, furniture, gift and much more at Bay Elements. The genius behind this amazing concept is Susan Peterson. You can shop up and downstairs for furniture and accessories for the home, and seaside findings for young and old. There is truly something for everybody, from small gifts to magnificently handcrafted furniture. Make sure to take notice of the impeccable craftsmanship of the building that summons the past-life. 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.
Peterson was born and raised in Jackson Mississippi but married a coastal boy and hasn’t looked back since. She has been on the Coast for 35 years. “My heart is here”, says Peterson “I love the people and friendly guest, and there is nothing better than being in Old Town Bay St. Louis.”
