Q: Would you please help me locate Olivellas brand olives stuffed with lemon? I’d like to use these instead of regular olives in cocktails. Thank you. — R. Marc, Atlanta
A: Located in Halkidiki, Greece, Olivellas stuffs green olives with a bit of lemon for a refreshing twist to your martini or any recipe calling for green olives. You’ll find the olives in 600-gram jars for $2.59 at DeKalb Farmers Market, 3000 E. Ponce de Leon Ave., Decatur, 404-377-6400. The store also stocks Olivellas olives stuffed with almonds, jalapeno and garlic. Cheers.
Q: I travel quite a bit for work and don’t really have time to iron on the road, but I don’t want to look as if I dressed out of my luggage, either. I used to buy an aerosol spray that helped to remove wrinkles, but I’m trying to find one that I can carry on the plane with me. It’s called Wrinkle Wiz and it’s not an aerosol. Thanks in advance. — Carol Watkins, email
A: Wrinkle Wiz comes in a travel-size, 2-ounce plastic pump spray that will get you through airport security without any worries. Not only will it refresh your clothing, but it also helps to keep static at bay. You’ll find the fabric relaxer halfway down the travel aisle of The Container Store, 3637 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, 404-963-9602.
Q: I purchased the best glue I have ever used from a company in California, which no longer shows this product in its catalog. It’s Kwik-Fix instant adhesive thin formula with a brush-on cap. I have telephoned, and had someone email the manufacturer in an effort to learn where I might purchase it, but have had no response. Please use your amazing clout to get an answer for me. — Grace Keel, Atlanta
A: Grace, we can leave California out of your search altogether since the glue is made by a chemical company that’s based in Alpharetta. The company manufactures a variety of consumer and industrial adhesives, including several Kwik-Fix and private label products. Kwik-Fix super glue with a brush-on cap comes in a 6-gram plastic bottle and is available locally in the craft section of Hobby Lobby, 4715 Ashford Dunwoody Road, Dunwoody, 770-677-1860. Each bottle costs $2.99.
Q: I have been looking for a guitar accessory called ChordBuddy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. — Richard Duren, Riverdale
A: As seen on the television show, Shark Tank, ChordBuddy attaches to an acoustic or electric guitar, allowing you to quickly play chords and, therefore, music. Note that it currently doesn’t work on classical, left-handed or children’s guitars. Locally, you can find ChordBuddy at a couple of music stores, including Dirt Cheep Music, 2415 S. Cobb Drive, Smyrna, 770-433-0196, and Ken Stanton Music, 6010 North Point Parkway, Alpharetta, 770-670-4424. Make sure that you call the stores to check that ChordBuddy is in stock.
