THE GIFTED GATOR BOUTIQUE Donnie Brennan 941-575-8808

I guess the best word I can use for the Gifted Gator’s annual craft fair is WOW! We had such a great turnout and I know
while some people came only to browse, others came, browsed and found treasures to buy. What a day! It wouldn’t have
been as great if it weren’t for the awesome craftsmen and women who came to display their talents, many of them were
people from our own shop. We certainly do have many wonderful talented people in Charlotte County. Thank you to all
of you who participated.

Now, down to some business. I overheard a comment similar to: “Wow, I’d heard about the Gifted Gator but always
thought it was only open to the members of the PGICA! Now, I know better.” For whatever reason and I can only imagine
it was poor advertising on our part, it seems so many people who do not live in PGI are under the impression that the
Gifted Gator is open only to those who do. That couldn’t be further from the truth. We are open to anyone and everyone.
So, please, tell your friends about us. Bring in your visitors. We have something for everyone.

Our little shop is stocked only with items hand-crafted by local artisans. When I say local, I don’t mean just in PGI. My
use of the word local also covers those from Ft. Myers to North Port. However, we don’t limit ourselves to those areas
either. If someone lives outside those areas and wants to display (with the hope of selling) their artwork, they’re more
than welcome to do so.

Currently, we are beginning to stock up on Christmas items. Everything is a one-of-a-kind piece that is a pleasure to
own. Yes, one-of-a-kind. Since everything is hand-made, it’s a rarity for any artist to exactly duplicate an item. So, you’re
in for a real treat! A unique item to display in your home.

Our uniqueness is what makes the Gifted Gator Boutique so great. What adds to it is the fact that most items can be
personalized. Who could ask for more? So, come on down and see us. Browse the shop; meet an artist; make a
purchase. I can promise you, you won’t be disappointed.
