I wanted to find the very best places to go. Well so far, Mary Parker Antiques is the winner for me in Mobile. Mary is going to greet you and if you are lucky she'll give you the grand tour of the place. I felt very special walking around this place with her. It is a designer's dream because everything is so organized. There are thousands of items under one roof, but Mary has done a masterful job of putting alike things together. She has two rows of butter churners...imagine that! She has vinyl records and old print ads! You will find beautiful furniture, glassware and china. Since everything in the place is her inventory, all you have to do is mention what you are looking for and she will take you right to it. She has a huge collection of antique doors and windows for Pinterest projects! Hubby is not a fan of these sorts of places, but I promise you he spent an hour browsing and another 30 minutes getting to know Mary. Great prices and the largest selection around. Be sure to meet Harvey, the cat. He keeps everyone company in the store!

She still made a purchase but wishes she did not. If your hours state you are open until 6, you should not expect customers to be finished shopping until then. If you want to be out the door by 6, close at 5:30. She has plenty of money to spend and loves antiques but obviously will not be back. We antique a great deal and most places we go tell us to take our time even if it is closing time. We always get done and are out by the time stated on the door because we understand wanting to go home at the end of the day.

There are loads of new items available to purchase, nestled alongside antiques. So if your goal is to go antiquing be prepared for the lovely new things available in this store. I really loved how well lit the huge showroom is. In some of the other local stores, I really feel like I need a flashlight to see anything. Did I mention organization? Wow, this store is topnotch with layout and staging. There has been attention to detail. Yes, there are booth spaces throughout the store, but they are done so well, that the transition from one to another is pretty seamless. If you are near Dauphin & Florida, definitely stop in~ The staff is very kind and helpful.

Everything from big to small pieces with a lot of mirrors, artwork and decor pieces. Much of the artwork is really nice with gilded frames. Some small collectibles throughout, but most of that is probably better found at their estate sales, not in the gallery. Overall.

They post regularly via their Facebook page with many ongoing booth updates and all booths are refreshed monthly, usually the first of the month. People get super-excited about the booth resets that are filled with seasonal upcycled and original decor. This is a female-owned business! So, like a hawk, I have been looking for a 1950s stepback hutch for years and was delighted to find one that she had posted (within 24 hours) was still available. If you call they will honor a 24-hour hold to allow you to inspect in person and buy the item or you may buy over the phone. If the item is over $100 their policy allows Layaway for 30 days with 50% down and 50% in 30 days, with no refunds or exchanges. Items are sold as-is and you must have an ID when picking up your item. I saw. I called. 10 people inquired behind me. Upon inspection the next day, I found the hutch was *exactly* what I was looking for and the price was competitive compared to online offerings and other area shops. The shop owner didn't have any references for movers, so I contacted movers I've used many times over the past two years to schedule a moving day within my window. This was a somewhat pricey move, so if you're without a personal truck and people to help move figure that cost into the price before buying. I knew I wanted this piece and had a place for it, so it wasn't a consideration before buying. When I had a date for the move, I called so they could expect me and received pickup instructions. I finished paying for the piece the day before the move, and couldn't have been more delighted with the whole buying, layaway, and moving process. I recommend using covered moving and/or wrapping furniture whether you are self-moving or hiring a company. Highway 43 can be busy with commercial traffic. If your move gets delayed beyond the 30-day window, they do assess storage fees by the day at that time. Super cute shop, with a friendly owner who will work with you, and I'm keeping my eyes peeled for new seasonal treasures featured via their Facebook page that has a 4.8/5 Facebook review rating and 15,000 followers.
