The Porch

Located inside historic Century Hall, The Porch is a beautifully quaint shop full of an assortment of exceptional items. The Porch started on Magazine St. in New Orleans and was there for 12 years until relocating to “The Bay” in 2017. 

The owner, JoAnn Saucier, curates an inculcating and interesting mix of goods that are not only unique to The Porch, but also Old Town Bay St. Louis. Shoppers can find a creative collection of home decor, jewelry, gifts, and delicious nibbles including Chef Maria’s “In the Cooler” pickup gourmet meals and desserts. JoAnn stated that she strives to find items “that make people smile and puts a bright spot in their day”. 
​
During this November’s 2nd Saturday, The Porch will open be open 10am - 8pm. They will have Chef Maria serving grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch, along with other refreshments as well. Live music will be performed 5-7pm by RJ Pierce & Joy Mehrtens on ukuleles. Be sure not to miss the opportunity to visit The Porch this 2nd Saturday and experience the vibrant energy this shop brings in making Bay St. Louis truly “A Place Apart”.

Fleurty Girl

Back in 2009, Fleurty Girl opened its first retail store on Oak Street in New Orleans. After successfully opening six more locations in Louisiana, owner Lauren Haydel decided to make her first move into Mississippi territory in July 2020 and set up her 8th location in Old Town Bay St. Louis. 

Starting with a small temporary property on Main Street, Fleurty Girl moved into it’s “forever home” at 216 Main St. on Friday, November 6th. The new, bright green location has 800 square feet of retail space, three vacation rentals, a front porch with rocking chairs, and lots of fun finds including gifts, jewelry, and decor. 
​
Even though Fleurty Girl declares themselves as “New Orleans inspired with most of the items made by local New Orleanians”, the recent move to Bay St Louis has influenced a lot of their inventory to be more focused around their new neighbors and Hancock county. Be sure to stop by Fleurty Girl this 2nd Saturday and see what all the hype is about.
