Paul’s Jewelry held a customer appreciation party at its River Ranch store over the holidays. With complimentary drinks and delicious food from Café Vermilionville, Paul’s gave its loyal customers a chance to view and try on some of its latest pieces. Sweetening the pot was the fact that 10 percent of all jewelry sales at Paul’s that day went to the Children’s Museum of Acadiana. Also for sale were two pieces of art donated by artists Fred Daspit and Vergie Banks. The works are part of the museum’s artist reuse exhibition, where artists create pieces by recycling ordinary items. The event was a huge success, with many of the guests leaving with a little more sparkle than when they arrived, and the museum got a great head start in making the new year wonderful for Acadiana’s children.
