Took a class last weekend: Create Your Own Geode! with Rhonda Kiser…read more I'm a crafty person, as in I'm not an artist. I know my way around the glue gun and a Silhouette machine but not a palette of watercolors or charcoal pencils. This was the perfect class! I got to create something without any real preconceived idea of how it "had" to look and for me, that was refreshing! Rhonda was informative and patient in explaining why were doing things a certain way and she left the artistic part up to me. She covered all the different materials she commonly uses. I appreciated all the recommendations and useful info on the materials. I feel confident I could create another geode all in my own now. Truly a relaxing process and a great self-care experience. Going to try to make it a girls night next time!

While on the hunt for a thoughtful and unique gift, preferably from a local store, I remembered The…read moreFoyer is usually a place where you can find a little something for everyone. I was immediately greeted and welcomed into the store, even though there were several people being assisted. There are several local vendors selling items in The Foyer, and each area has a different theme or flavor. The local artists on display are phenomenal. You can find something in all price ranges and styles as well. I found some special pieces for my mom and a gift for a student at LSU. I can't wait to go back after the holidays and shop for my house! The store is clean and easy to get around in. While sometimes the popular stalls may get a little cramped, everyone is respecting distance. Also, the numerous times I was offered assistance was great. I even saw one employee search through several ornaments to help one patron find an obscure item she thought might be there. Lucky for her, it was! I didn't get to go to the cafe this time (Heather V's), but i guarantee I will be back for some delicious sandwich or salad very soon!

Wowwwww, I was captivated by this place...mesmerized, actually! I walked in to find myself in a…read morewonderland of the most uniquely presented art pieces...anything from antiques to eclectic furniture can be found here. I was originally here to meet some friends at Heather V's Cafe (located in the back of the gallery), just wish I had more time to shop! It was lovely to see that within the gallery there were individual "boutiques" sectioned off, which I thought added more character to the place! You could literally go into one "boutique" and find everything you needed to decorate your home or a section of your home with. I look forward to my next visit, when I can browse longer and shop for some home items or fun gifts!
