Funky Utopia is moving yet again. This time we're taking it back online.

We're sorry to announce that we are closing our teeny tiny little shop in Bradenton's downtown area of the Village of the Arts. So many factors went into our decisioin to close and move out of the Village. Ultimately, it's just not the right time or location for us. But we have enjoyed every single second of the experience!! And we're already making plans for a larger store to come later in 2010.

So, as my husband says, "This is merely the end of a chapter, not the end of the story".

We have enjoyed meeting so many folks here locally and also those visiting from all over the world! We have been floored by your sincere appreciation of handmade goods, will always remember your kind comments and we're thankful for your generous patronage.

Funky Utopia will continue to grow online in our e-commerce website: http://www.shopfunkyutopia.com/ while we take some time to scout a new, larger location in Manatee County. You'll always be able to score the same unique handmade clothing, jewelry, accessories, bath products and gifts that you've come to love on our website: http://www.shopfunkyutopia.com/

We offer Free Domestic Shipping on all orders over $75.00, everyday.

We also offer First Class shipping to keep your shipping costs low, as well as Priority Shipping and Express shipping for those gifts that cannot wait.

Please visit Funky Utopia online... we are having a HUGE JUNE SALE!!!! And we're expecting a whole new shipment in the coming weeks!!

We're making a few cosmetic changes around here. Please excuse the mess. Hopefully, you are begining to like what you see!
