Looking for pashmina's? Not sure if that is spelled right. I found a ruana at a good price at kohl's, but, still looking for pashmina. Thanks for anything u can find.

http://www.thepashminastore.com but I don't know their reputation. They do do Google checkout and it looks like they have free shipping. Otherwise I'd suggest Sears, JC Penney's... those sort of shops. Occasionally I've seen them in TJ Maxx but I think you have to have lucky timing!

Can I get some advice on where to look for a specific bottle of brandy? It's causing trouble in the family because a certain person (not me!) helped himself to a bottle of Pedro Domecq brandy that was given to my grandfather on the occasion of his golden wedding anniversary. I think that was in 1986. The wife of the guilty party (again, not me!) will probably want to find another bottle to replace it, and we're curious as to how much that will cost.

I did a general search on google for Pedro Domecq brandy and it came up with numerous hits, but none that showed it was made in 1986. I would suggest going to an upperclass liquior store and ask them if they can locate one for you. I'd also post this question in the "only dumb question is the one not asked Q&A thread, more people are likely to see it

Looks like it depends on what type of Pedro Domecq you are looking for. And I know nothing about brandy so not sure if the year is important or not either. Here's a couple sites - from the looks of it it's not too expensive. http://tinyurl.com/create.php http://tinyurl.com/2mh8qo

Curly, that reminds me of the Seinfeld eppy where Elaine ate the thousand year old piece of cake and tried to replace it with an Entemans! LOL

Curly, your best bet would be to go to a beverage store, one that provides specialized service. I don't know if Pedro Domecq actually branded the years, but I'd expect that finding one sold in 1986 would be a tough find (remember, if they don't mark the year bottled, then you don't know if it was a 5 year old brandy, or a 10 year old brandy, or even a 20 year old brandy. And you'd also need to know the designation... for example, is it VSOP or XO? Or something else? Do you have the existing bottle around? It might help to have more info. At this point, if you can even find a bottle that was bottled around 1975 (assuming a 10 year bottle), then you're gonna end up paying a premium for it (as it's now 20+ years old.

Thanks, everyone. I wish I had the bottle here so I could get more info on it. I'll have to ask for more details tomorrow and check with the stores. It still won't replace the sentimental value of the original bottle, but at least it would help. Pamy, that's pretty much what this was like. I can't believe there are actually people out there in real life who would do something this thoughtless.

Actually, not so much. None of the distributors are in the States, so getting a bottle from Spain would be an almost impossible task (yeah, I looked at that site).

Looking for these socks. Tried ebay (actually got this image from an ebay store) but they don't have them in a large enough size. I tried googling and even tried striderite.com. I know they come in a larger size, but so far am coming up empty. Looking for a size that would fit shoe size 13 or 1. TIA.

NEW QUEST: Where can I find a place that has bunny hair bows and/or bunny socks. (Socks size 24 months/or for shoe size toddler 5-6.) I found these little shoes and am so excited (what a dork I am!!!)
So now I need a dress (oh, have any suggestions for that as well??? --size 24 months) and accessories! Thanks!!

Depending on the dress you might want to consider white or pink socks or tights, no bunnies, so you don't take away from the cuteness of the shoes.

yes, i would just do tights or socks with ruffles. WalMart always had the cutest Easter dresses. If you want to spend more, Children's Collection or Macys.
