In the USA you can go to lots of business websites, such as crate and barrel, flax, moma, and receive free catalogs of merchandise to order. Is there any authentic French places that do this? I love French items and would love to be able to purchase authentic french items. Can anyone help me? I do not speak or read french but am in process of learning. Thanks a bunch for any help anyone can provide. ( web address', mailing address' etc.)

Found some really cool things at an estate sale but they all need to be cleaned. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated.

1. A large oil painting, very dusty, has alot of pencil marks all over and the canvas is fraying around the frame. The painting is done in light pastel colors and is scenery.

2. Some authentic Moose hide leather slippers but the inside has some kind of wooly fleece on them.

3. An awesome Dooney & Bourke Leather purse but it is very dirty inside and out. Leather is NOT scratched or torn but dingy. Needs a Good cleaning.

What would you use to clean these items? How would you go about cleaning them so I don't ruin them or their value? Where can I find the product/products you recommend?

Thanks so very much for the help! Looking forward to my new found treasures.

Hi, I just started working for walmart in the south. I have prior experience (3 years working there years ago, plus worked for kmart, target, as well as alot of other retail stores). I only got $1.00 more an hour then I was making when I worked there the first time 14 years ago. (which is not much) I think this sucks. No cost of living increase was even given or something for experience.

I am just curious if anyone would tell me:

1. What job you have or had there?

2. What they started your pay at?

3. What area you are from?

I am thinking of putting in my 2 weeks notice because this really burns my butt. I am sure I can find a better paying job somewhere else. Please share your expericene.
