Q: I’m trying to find those plastic disks that clothing stores use to divide sizes. I’m trying to get organized and need only a handful of blank ones, so I don’t want to have to buy in bulk online. Any ideas? Eve Stanley, email
A: I have the perfect solution for you, and you can buy as many or as few of the blank closet rod dividers as you need for only 99 cents each. They measure 3-and-1/2-inches in diameter. You’ll find the plastic dividers at The Container Store, 3637 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, 404-963-9602.
Q: I have a friend who loves to entertain and she serves wine. She’s not fond of those little charms that you attach to wine glasses, and I heard about pens that had ink made specifically for glasses. I’m not familiar with them and wondered if you might help me locate some so that I could surprise her. Thank you. T. Blake, Johns Creek
A: You can give her a set of three wine glass writers by Wine Enthusiast. Simply write a name on the glass, wait 30 seconds and the ink is supposed to stay on until it’s washed off. The set is priced at $9.99 at Total Wine, 380 North Point Cir., Alpharetta, 770-772-0694.
Q: I was in Florida recently and had a tasty salsa from a jar, which is an unusual experience since so many jarred salsas are pretty uninteresting. I liked it because it had a nice smoke flavor. The salsa was called Cigar City, and I’m looking for the hot version. I haven’t noticed it locally and wondered if maybe you might be able to find it for me. It’s really good. Thanks. Jack Oliver, email
A: Cigar City Salsa, named after the salsa’s home town of Tampa, is an all-natural salsa that comes in several flavors, including pineapple and mango-habanero. The fruits and vegetables used in the salsas are hickory smoked. The salsa comes in mild, medium and hot, and you’ll find 16-ounce jars for $5.59 at Publix, 2969 N. Druid Hills Road, Atlanta, 404-638-6022.
Q: Please tell me where I can find Carrera y Carrera jewelry. Neiman Marcus no longer carries it in Atlanta. Thank you. Cathy Hurt, Macon
A: Cathy, although Neiman Marcus doesn’t carry Carrera y Carrera jewelry in local stores at this point in time, you can still get any piece you want through the store. I contacted people at Carrera y Carrera in New York and in the fine jewelry department at Neiman Marcus, Lenox Square. What you can do is go to the store and peruse the look book, which is in the form of an iPad these days, and select pieces you like. The jewelry can be sent to the Atlanta location from Neiman Marcus in New York, or it can be transferred between stores. If you like, you can choose to have it sent to your home.
