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!

Meet the Business Owner

Christie M.

Business Owner

Certainly not a stranger to retail, entrepreneurship & long hours, Christie is very passionate about her business and it shows in her wonderful staff & selection to meet all needs, however great or small.

She previously owned a Florist Gift Shop in New England, sold to head as far south as possible needing year round sunlight & the turquoise waters to swim in. Marco Island was as far south as her car would go & the rest is history!
