Q: Several years ago, you gave me the name of a person who could repair a large vase we use for flowers at church. I’m hoping that individual is still available, as a smaller vase now has a missing chip. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. — Sharon Campolucci, email

Q: I’m looking for Paquin hand cream. My mother used it, and I started using it as a kid. I have been looking on and off in local stores for years. I gave up trying to find it until I saw your column. Thank you. — Karen Hennessy, Newnan
A: Karen, Paquin Hand and Body Cream suffers from limited availability, which is why you haven’t found it in your local stores. I called Sheffield Pharmaceuticals, the Connecticut-based company that makes the cream, and was told it was available from several online merchants, including Amazon. It isn’t. As it turns out, Amazon is the only outlet where I found a steady supply of Paquin. You can order a 4-ounce jar of Paquin for $12.99.
