History
Established in 2006.
Christie Marcoplos started her Gallery of Fine Handcrafts, Artisan Jewelry & Art after selling her Florist Gift shop in NH & taking a few years off resting her entrepreneurial spirit. After several jobs in the Marco Island area including a year working with photographer Clyde Butcher in the Everglades, it was clear the area needed a special diverse handcrafted gift Gallery. Choosing to mix local Florida artisans, American made, a few European & Fair Trade, she compiled a unique selection which keeps growing & always remains fresh. You'll find traditional, functional or whimsical pieces for just the right person ( or yourself) while enjoying a friendly, happy environment!
