Where can I find it?
I have a 3’ x 5’ Oriental rug that has a small hole in it. I called Finest Reweavers, but they do not handle rugs. Are you able to recommend anyone? I also have a grandfather clock that needs repair, is there anyone in the area who does house calls? Any recommendations? Thank you. R. Kelly, Hoschton
Take your rug to Sharian, Inc., 368 W. Ponce de Leon Ave., Decatur, 404-373-2274. You can’t miss the pretty art deco building downtown. The family-owned business has been restoring, cleaning and selling Oriental rugs since 1931. For your clock, call Grandfather Clock Repair, 2745 Sandy Plains Road, Marietta, 678-462-7856. Although the company has a fullservice repair shop, it also offers mobile service to repair and clean grandfather clocks on site. I’m nearly out of my Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Moisture Network night cream that I’ve been hoarding because it’s no longer available, not even from Amazon. If there’s any left somewhere, I hope you can find it for me. Thank for your help. Bev Morgan, email
This nighttime moisturizer in the pretty blue-and-white jar is available at BuyMeBeauty.com. A 1.7-ounce jar sells for $38.88, including shipping. BuyMeBeauty is a Florida-based company with a generous array of discontinued cosmetics and hair products.
We have searched for Old Dutch Sweet and Sour dressing in grocery stores and online, but no luck. Through your article in the paper, we are hopeful that you might help us find it. Lee Seal, Atlanta
Lee, it isn’t often that I get to deliver good news after a product has been discontinued. However, in the case of Old Dutch Sweet and Sour dressing, the news is fantastic. Due to the overwhelming amount of inquiries received by Reily Foods, the company is, once again, producing Old Dutch Sweet and Sour dressing. It’s currently available in 10-ounce bottles for $3.35 through reilyproducts.com, or by calling 800-535-1961. New Orleans-based Reily Foods also turns out Swans Down cake flour, French Market coffee and Luzianne teas.
My husband and I love Knott’s Berry Farm fruit-filled shortbread cookies, especially the raspberry and strawberry flavors. When we lived out of state, we could easily find them in 10-ounce boxes in our food stores. I can’t find them at all since moving to Georgia. Please help us locate these delicious cookies. Thanks so much for your help. Carol Johnson, Marietta
Carol, I found Knott’s Berry Farm round shortbread cookies in three flavors: raspberry, blueberry and strawberry. Rather than finding them in a supermarket, I spotted them in a discount home décor store. The bite-size cookies come in 10-ounce packages and sell for $2.79 each at Old Time Pottery, 2949 Canton Road, Marietta, 770-419-9360. Having trouble finding a particular item?
