While on Holiday visiting friends in Fairhope they treated us to a day's outing to the shops. We absolutely adored the entire town's atmosphere and hospitality. The little town was exceptionally clean and the weather was picture perfect. We loved this lovely shop with all it's beautiful antiques. Being from the U.K. I must say Alabama wasn't exactly as we had thought it to be. We fancied Alabama above Florida and Louisiana for it's hospitality. I've never met so many nice people in one place.

My wife and I have been visiting the Fairhope area for several years and just love the shops and the "Down South" atmosphere. One of our favorite places to visit and browse is Orleans. Gayla Young and her daughter, Shea Dunigan, always make us feel welcome. In addition to the cordiality, they have one of the finest stores for antiques, oriental rugs, paintings and classy gift items. Orleans is first rate all the way. So, when in Fairhope, treat yourself to a grand experience and go by and visit Gayla and Shea. Regards, Nan and Herb Hamilton, Crescent Springs, Kentucky.
