We are ready for 2012 & brimming with many new hand made gifts such as our Solar Wind Chimes, Jonathan & Moonspoon wooden spoons, new ceramics, hand blown glass & expanded childrens section.

You must check out our infant clothing, children's books & the ever popular Boogie Monster, I love Monkey & Tickle Monster book kits by Josie Bisset. Games, toys, puppets plus you must check out our new line of Cloud9world tees from Miami.
For the whimsical at heart or one seeking a thought provoking gift, you will find fun inspirational pieces such as a quote on a pewter paperweight or on a necklace, greeting card, notepad or book. Bone Sigh & Storypeople are always full of new work plus we have numerous other offerings. There are mermaids, functional pottery chip & dips & brie bakers, local art & photography, womens handbags, glass bowls & vases as well as accent lamps & furnture.

Christie will always be grateful for the few years spent working for Clyde Butcher, out in the Everglades before opening Blue Mangrove as well as the years of experience running her first business a Florist/Gift Shop in New Hampshire for almost 18 years. However, mostly she is appreciative for the good fortune of wonderful patrons & clients who support her Gallery these past years and of course her fantastic staff Celeste, Lissa & Shirley!
Blue Mangrove is a destination on a lovely bit of paradise that you must visit for many reasons but mainly because it is fun, inspirational & colorful.
Do come visit us in the Marco Island Town Center Mall, opening daily year round.
