Sure… you could buy a generic Mother’s Day card. Sure… you could buy a generic Mother’s Day card.

Or you could come to The Possum
and get one that actually sounds like you.

Because not every mom wants soft and sappy.
Some want real, funny, a little unfiltered…
and still full of love.

Our cards are designed in-house, handmade,
and built for people whose sense of humor never takes a day off.

Locals supporting locals! Julie and Rachel love su Locals supporting locals! Julie and Rachel love supporting local businesses and we are ABSOLUTELY tickled when other small businesses support ours. We had the pleasure of having Crystal the owner of Blush Boutique , she brought her family and it was a happy experience for us (I hope it was for her lol). So, the next time you need to do some clothing shopping, (she has the dumplings as well) consider supporting small and local and just good people. It helps ALL of us. PS there is a sequin crawfish top that has my name written all over it....

Tag other small businesses that you think we should all know more about and support! #ShopJeffersonLA #jeffersonparish #shopjefferson #supportjeffersonparish

The fact that we have to write these signs, make u The fact that we have to write these signs, make us sad, but we gotta do it, especially after we went through all the inventory this morning and noticed how many squishes were ripped open - meaning we basically lose our expensive product. If you’re coming for squishies it’ll be yours if you have to touch it. Thanks for understanding!  Xoxo - The Possums

It is with very heavy hearts that we share the une It is with very heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of one of our vendors, Tina Diaz | Diaz Art 

Tina was always smiling, always kind, and truly a joy to have in our space. Her presence brought warmth, and her talent spoke for itself—her jewelry is one-of-a-kind, beautifully crafted, and a favorite among so many of you.

Beyond her work, Tina was the kind of person who showed up for others. She spent her life helping people, supporting her community, and giving whatever she could to those in need.

Her son, Gabby, will continue to bring her pieces into the shop, so her art will still be available. Any purchases made will go toward helping with services and supporting their family during this incredibly difficult time.

If you would like to support further, a GoFundMe has been set up, this will go to help pay for arrangements:
https://gofund.me/dcf8369ef

You can also follow and share her work through Diaz Art. 

RIP Tina. You will truly be missed.

We are holding her family in our hearts and ask that you do the same.
