Q: I’m hoping you can locate a jewelry or Irish store in the area that sells Claddagh rings. I have stopped in various jewelers in the area, and they only have catalog ordering available, or they don’t know what a Claddagh ring is. My daughter would prefer to try them on rather than order online. Thank you for searching. — Susan Dunn, Brookhaven

A: I have two local places for you and your daughter to consider. Phoenix & Dragon Bookstore, 5531 Roswell Road, Atlanta, 404-255-5207, is a metaphysical hub offering psychic readings, classes and gifts, including Celtic jewelry. The store has a few sterling Claddagh rings for your daughter to try. The other option is Atlanta Kilts, 1275 Buford Highway, Suwanee, 678-373-3337. This store has been providing Highland wear for weddings, festivals, memorial services and films since its opening in 2006. It currently carries a handful of Claddagh rings, but note that once they’re gone, Atlanta Kilts will no longer be stocking them.
Q: I am so hoping you can help me. My son received an award; unfortunately, it broke when he came back from Asia. I took it to my local ceramic shop. We were able to fix it but were unable to attach one wing because they didn’t have glue strong enough. Where can I take it to complete the project? The award means a great deal to my son, and he would love to be able to display it. — RuthAnn Schultz, Marietta

June Spruell of Berkeley Lake can no longer find her dog’s favorite Cesar Softies Medley Trio treats. Unfortunately for many canine fans of Cesar Softies, the line is not currently being produced, and the company doesn’t know when or if production will resume.
