Q: My mother loves Walker’s shortbread cookies. She can no longer tolerate gluten, and I have been buying her the Walker’s Gluten-Free Shortbread Rounds when I can find them, but they are not always easily available. Can you tell me where to get these, please? Thank you. — Dina T., Peachtree Corners

A: Founded by Joseph Walker in 1898, the family-owned company continues to bake its beloved cookies in the Scottish Highlands. Although gluten-free, Walker’s Shortbread still derives its rich flavor from butter. You can find 4.9-ounce boxes of Walker’s Gluten-Free Shortbread Rounds for $6.99 at Taste of Britain, 73 S. Peachtree St., Norcross, 770-242-8585.

Q: Not sure if you can help, but I have a lot of silver serving pieces, coffee urns, etc., left to me from my mom and grandmother. Do you know if there is a market to sell this type of silver? I’m pretty sure the majority of it is real silver, and there may also be some silver plate. Thanks. — Melody Davidson, Suwanee
