Rediscover The Alley in Belleair Bluffs

For almost 20 years, Antique Alley has quietly provided shoppers a relaxed and inviting setting to search repurposed antiques, furniture, original creations and a wide range of new items for one’s self or one’s home. But in recent years, The Alley has expanded its assortment of stores to include those selling flowers, art, jewelry, gifts, health and beauty products, clothing, books, paint, baked goods, home décor items and more. Shoppers can still find antiques in foundational stores like Collum Antiques, Victoria’s Parlor, and Alley Antiques; but new stores such as Lemon Tree Vintage Market, Laura Katz Home, Orchid Interiors, Mango- Etc., Nostalgia, and Shabby 2 Chic have since joined The Alley. Together, they all create a space for both the “old” and the “new,” giving Belleair Bluffs residents and visitors a distinct shopping environment that is unmatched in Tampa Bay. As one shopper recently said…

“these are not your mother’s antique shops!”

The Lemon Tree Vintage Market

“This market offers a unique collection of refreshed antiques, home décor, locally-made jewelry, gifts, and one-of-a-kind, re-purposed pieces.Honoring my parents in choosing the store’s name and logo, I opened Lemon Tree in October of 2017. The store provides a warm and inviting experience to visitors – whether looking for a specific item, just browsing, or simply stopping by to say “Hi.” Everyone gets a warm welcome and a smile!” – Amy Lemons McDermont.

Laura Katz Home

“I opened my store over three years ago. I enjoy expressing my creative side by painting abstract landscapes, most of which include gold or silver leaf, and making shell encrusted chandeliers, mirrors, and smaller home accessories. In another life I raised four beautiful and smart daughters, and have experience owning a wholesale artwear company.” Laura Katz Home is comfortably elegant and bohemian chic.

Nostalgia

“When I opened a store in The Alley over three years ago, I wanted to accomplish three things: be unique while providing people with what they want; deliver an enjoyable and memorable shopping experience; and of course, have fun doing it! My store, Nostalgia, has a coastal theme and feel all its own; blending traditional and contemporary with some Cuban/ Hemingway influence (from my native Cuba) and brings old and new, whimsical and practical, formal and comfortable all together under one roof for a fun, friendly and satisfying shopping experience.” – Rosa Sollecito.
