Two Vintage & Antiques Malls in Pensacola, Florida

Recently I went to Pensacola, Florida, to visit my family and I wanted to share some of the vintage and antique exploring we did. Pensacola also has some lovely old architecture downtown in the Seville Quarter at 130 E. Government Street. They have jazz music shows there on a regular basis.

One morning we went over to the Miles Antique Mall at 5109 Bayou Boulevard to see the various vendor spots. The Mall houses 65,000 square feet of antiques and over 500 vendors. Plus they are open seven days a week. There was an eclectic mix of items for sale. I didn’t see a large amount of vintage clothing though. Mostly it was housewares, knick-knacks, jewelry, art and antique or vintage memorabilia. There were a lot of mermaids and coastal themes in the shops’ merchandise. It was a fun place to visit and I found a very soft, pretty fall colors vintage scarf to add to my collection.

Another afternoon my mother and I were headed for lunch and noticed that Reynalds Collectibles & Antiques Mall was open. I had been trying to get in there the day prior, plus last time I was in Pensacola it was closed every time I went by. I was so excited and the shop truly has a beautiful collection of housewares, jewelry, vintage musical instruments and sheet music, furniture and more. My mother had music lessons there at the same location when she was young. The owner said that after thirty-five years of hauling pianos, when his mother passed away he decided to turn it into an antiques mall. I only took a few pictures while there but I really enjoyed every minute. I came away with a vintage set of Squirt salt and pepper shakers complete with their original box. I would highly recommend checking out the business if you are in the area.

Another afternoon we visited the Pensacola Lighthouse. It was was originally built in 1859. The tower offers views of Pensacola Pass, which is where the bay meets the Gulf of Mexico. The sand is a lovely white color. The spot is surrounded by three forts and the Pensacola Naval Base. My grandfather worked at the base many years ago. We climbed all 177 steps to the top plus checked out the museum at the lower levels of the tower.

In the picture of Emily, my daughter, at the lighthouse she is wearing a vintage Liberty of London skirt that I passed down to her from when I used to work at the Liberty shop at Rockefeller Center in the 1980’s.

All in all we had a great trip and it was lots of fun. I was thrilled to be with my family again and get some rest! I hope you enjoyed this post. I actually finished my Dottie Angel dress so that post is coming up soon. I am also hoping to make it to Philadelphia, PA to check out some vintage shops there soon.
