The Blue Giraffe Moves to The Crossings at Inlet Beach
The Blue Giraffe, art and gifts boutique, announces its move to The Crossings at Inlet Beach. Located next to Drift Home & Gifts, the new location offers more space for exhibiting art as well as hosting interactive art classes and book signings. “This move will allow us to do more of what we love to do. Our goal is to bring the best art, gifts, and art consulting services to locals and visitors alike,” said Christi Sheffield, co-owner of The Blue Giraffe. The Blue Giraffe will re-open at its new location in The Crossings at Inlet Beach on Nov. 1, 2019. Easily accessible to Scenic Highway 30-A near Rosemary Beach, the new gallery will allow art lovers, locals, visitors to the area, and interior designers seeking original art, a convenient new gallery and gift option on the east end of Highway 30-A.
Owned by mother-daughter team Debbie Taylor and Christi Sheffield, the goal of the gallery is to offer art and gifts with heart. Representing a diverse array of local and regional artists, The Blue Giraffe features original art, coastal inspired jewelry, uplifting books and one-of-a-kind gifts. Voted a 30A Hot Spot for “Hottest Gift Shop” and “Hot Spots for Art”, The Blue Giraffe’s collection of distinctive artwork, unique gifts, pottery, interior accents, inspirational books, greeting cards, and handcrafted jewelry has made the gallery a popular stop when shopping for the perfect piece for a wall or a gift for a friend. “God led us to The Blue Giraffe in 2010, now He is revealing a new plan for our future.
The same day we learned that our lease would not be renewed in WaterColor, we heard about a beautiful new retail space in Inlet Beach,” said Christi. “The larger space will also allow us to expand our art classes for adults and kids. We enjoy watching emerging artists and talented local students discover their gift and joy of creating art.” The Blue Giraffe has been a vital part of WaterColor Town Center for more than 10 years and co-owners, Christi and Debbie, are excited about the next chapter. A grand opening celebration is planned for Wednesday, November 20 in honor of the new location and The Blue Giraffe’s 9th anniversary.
The gallery will also host a book signing for New York Times best-selling author Karen White on Saturday, November 30. For more information, follow The Blue Giraffe on Facebook or visit the new location at 13123 E Emerald Coast Pkwy, Inlet Beach, FL 32461.
