Garden Argosy

Beach home décor.
Shell art, and My favorite – papaya art products sold here as well.
With a Celebration of beach life, you will certainly find something cute and inspiring in this shop.
It’s a little too crowded in here product wise.
What does this mean?
Hold your big bag close to your body to avoid hitting others or knocking things to the ground.

One of my fave stores in St. Armand’s Circle. There’s décor for the house, jewelry, purses, gift items, cute frames and pics with sayings and beach décor. I love this store. Definitely a favorite of mine.

I love the ecclectic variety of gifts and keepsakes found here. The store is small and crowded but with a constantly changing selection of merchandise that you won’t find anywhere else. The only thing I really don’t like about this store is the attitude of some of the employees. We walked about two steps into the store and were immediately corned by an employee, who interrupted our conversation about an item, so that she would explain what were were discussing. It was a bar of soap with a rubber duck inside. It really didn’t need to be explained to us. As we walked around the store, she seemed to be following us so that she explain everything we looked at (we weren’t even touching anything, just looking). At one point, we split up to go around a small group of people blocking an isle, it was almost too much for her, and she was right next to us when we rejoined on the other end of the isle. The store gets crowed enough without employees acting like we are all doing something wrong. After a few minutes of this we decided to head back out. It was just not an enjoyable experience to be shadowed while trying to browse.

Mob scene! This store had nice gifts but there were so many people jammed into this tiny space that you could barely move! So it made shopping less enjoyable as you were shuffled along at the pace of the person in front of you.
That said, you can find all kinds of interesting gifts: jewelry, cards, stained glass, bath and body items, home goods with a Floridian flair… There were a number of windchimes and glass «witch balls» suspended from the ceiling which added to the clutter but made an attractive display.
If you’re a shopper who likes to take your time, this place will appeal to you because you can’t do anything otherwise! So give yourself some time and find something unusual.

Such a charming store, with a wide variety of eclectic gifts. My favorite place in the circle :)

I love this place. They have amazing little things to buy. From books, to wind chimes, to photo frames to lotions and candles. This store is so charming and some of this stuff you won’t find anywhere else. Stop in!
