This small hardware store located in a strip mall is indeed misleading. The staff is super…read morefriendly and is always willing to help. This is definitely NOT your big box home improvement center. If you ask the staff for a particular item, without hesitation they walk you to exactly where the item is located. I like that small town hospitality..... As an Artist, I find myself in hardware stores all the time and love that I can get a few needed items without driving into one of the bigger cities close by. They have a little bit of everything and will certainly have what you need to get the job done.....

I've been to many jewerly stores in the Houma-Terrebonne area and I have never had a better…read moreexperience than the many that I have had at Betty White Jewelers. A visit to Betty White Jewelers always seems to brighten my day because they really care about their customers. They always take a genunine interest in their customers, which helps create a better experience when shopping for jewelery. Their head jeweler, Timothy White is a master at his craft. I mean that. He does many custom pieces of jewerly or metal work in a very detailed fashion. If you can imagine it, Timmy can create it! He does custom engravings, also. Oftentimes, I will find some type of jewelery that I like at another Jewelery store or online, show it to the jeweler, and he will get me a better deal on a simliar item of much higher quality. I really appreciate that personal aspect of this business. For example, I found a pearl ring that I really liked at Zales for about $90. I always had good experiences with Betty White Jewelers in the past, so I sent Timmy an email with a link to the ring to see if he could find me a better deal. Sure enough, he did. He looked diligently for me, and when I did not like the first ring he sent me... he sent me multiple others. He did not stop searching until I was satisfied. I know the business also has many other items for various occasions such as gift items for Mardi Gras krewes, wedding and anniversary gifts, birthstone rings, charm bracelets, glassware... I've seen it all in the store. So for a very perosonable experience where you'll not just be buying jewerly but being cared about by the employees, I reccommend Betty White Jewelers. I'll definitely keep going back.

I went into Bill's Jewelers to get an estimate on an engagement ring. I was welcomed immediately…read morewith a smile and helping hand. I explained my situation: I found the ring I want online and decided after talking with my boyfriend that we'd rather buy local and get better quality on a ring that is supposed to last a lifetime instead of buying it cheap online and getting what we paid for. I asked what is the process to get an estimate on the ring and the sales lady helped me write the email and gave me directions on all the information that was useful as well as what I could leave out and how the process worked. She explained that the owner's wife would receive the email, make the necessary changes in wording, then send it off to their jewelry designer and that I should have an estimate in a few days. Possibly by the end of the week. I got home and found the rest of the information and sent the email off as I was told to and within a few hours (after hours for the business) I received an email stating that they had received my request and thanking me for my interest in their business and reassured that I would receive an estimate in a few days. While this happened recently and I haven't received the estimate yet I can assure you that whether it is the amount we are willing to spend or not I am thoroughly pleased with their service as a business.

I bought a recliner that I needed so badly for a health condition. One of the armrests came apart…read morefrom the recliner and I called them. They came and got the recliner, and ordered a part. I was in a lot of pain due to past injuries and I explained to them that I really needed this particular chair that supported my back. They had ordered the part but it hadn't arrived. So, they harvested a part from one of their new recliners in their store and had their repairman fix my chair. I am so grateful that they listened to me and had compassion and got my chair back to me! It is this little thing that gives me comfort in my otherwise painful life. They have all been so nice and so helpful! I highly recommend these people and this store for your furniture and appliance needs because they stand behind their warranties and actually listen to the customer's needs. Sheila Bounds

I've loved art all my life, not just painting but all the mediums. After moving to the bayou just…read moreafter Katrina, I searched high and low to find a creative place, sadly none existed. Then one day I heard a gal taking at an Art Versus event that she would be opening an art studio and gallery in Thibodaux. It took me awhile to search it out. Then in April of this year I visited Stephanie Donaldson's space after an art walk in downtown Thibodaux. The Purple Penguin offers both classes for the young and young at heart (adults), as well as open studio time or a space to hang or display your art for sale. Stephanie and her staff offer group or private art classes, Corks and Brushes painting, paint your own pottery, hand building and wheel throwing ceramics, mosaic stained glass projects, raku, glass fusing and crafty projects. They also host Birthday parties, Bridal and Baby showers, Date nights (yep drop off your kids and they'll feed them, create with them, so you can sneak off for a few hours), Ghost nights (channel your Demi Moore/Patrick Swayze with this hot and heavy throwing night), Kids camps and more. As an artist i am always looking for new ways to bring my creative dreams to fruition. In California, I love working in ceramics and when I moved here I tried to find someplace that I could buy Kiln time. I searched high and low and eventually gave up. After discussing my needs with Stephanie, she explained that she offers several options to outside artists that allow them to work in the studio or in the comfort of their own studio and bring work in to have it fired. I at least had met my angel and was welcomed into heaven.....This is a great place to get your creative ya-ya's out......

Her studio seems to be all one could hope for if one had an artistic bent...the studio contains several rooms devoted to different artistic disciplines from painting to pottery to glass work....They have already made pottery for you to purchase and paint/glaze or whatever you do with it...They also have some Oyster shells that have been glazed that one could use as serving trays for shucked raw oysters or for doing chargrilled ones...pretty neat! This seems like a real cool place and the people seem genuinely into having people get into & love art! Whether it be beginners or people with more skill!! If you're in Thibodaux or the immediate environs and are into creating or just thinking you might like to give it a whirl I suggest you make the PPAC your first stop!!!
