Antique Maison
111 North Second St.
Story by Caitlin Bourgeois
The outside of Antique Maison looks like your standard, run of the mill antique shop. With large windows and farmhouse decorated table space and large metal signs, this shop seems like a quaint place to stop in and find a cute trinket.
Enter the front doors and one would quickly realize that this sprawling shop is one that will need much more time to sort through. Antique Maison is about half a block deep, with booths full of a multitude of different interests to pique your curiosity.
Ed and Sylvia Young opened Antique Maison in 2007 after renovating the space from the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. They opened their doors and invited vendors to come in and share their products with the blossoming rebirth of Bay St. Louis, leading them to still be one of the largest antique shops in Hancock County almost 13 years later.
Antique Maison will be one of the featured businesses for Second Saturday on August 8, 2020. Select vendor booths will be offering discounts on their products for those out shopping during the event.
Missy Geisel, manager of Antique Maison, noted that with 30 vendors ranging from nautical decorations to jewelrey, records and more, it would be hard to not find a treasured item. “You’ll have extra time to come shop and get lost in our store,” said Missy. This is without a doubt.
Antique Maison will be hosting the talented Hadley Hill from 4-6pm with live music outside. If you like sweet treats, Jose Pablo Paz will be on site with his delicious baked goods – most notably, his infamous shoe soles. There will be strawberry lemonade to quench the thirst from another hot Mississippi day and cookies to share.
The incredible team at Antique Maison is so knowledgeable and personable, ready to help you sort through the vast selection of products offered. Be ready to shop this upcoming Second Saturday while snacking on a fresh baked goody with lively acoustic music to keep you company.

A building that looks like it could be situated in the tropics, Bodega is flanked on one side by golf carts and the other with bicycles. Enter and you find a delicious menu and speciality drinks at the Parrot Head Bar and Grill, helmed by Chef Rickey Peters. Wander up the stairs to a boutique style yoga studio with classes held on the open-air balcony, looking over the courtyard and palm trees. A quaint liquor store is settled on the far side on the ground floor of the building with a friendly face ready to help you find exactly what you’re hankering for.
