I am looking for a weaver in Colorado Springs or Manitou Springs that will reweave my sweaters. I have taken them to a clothing alteration store but they won’t reweave the hole in sweater, only stitch the hole together (it didn’t look very good).

Also, has anyone used a reweaving mail order service?

Know where you can get a sweater rewoven in Colorado Springs?  Please comment on this post with the info!

I would love to find a place I can buy pastured eggs, possibly from someone/some place local that raises the chickens themselves. Any ideas on this?

It would be even greater to find a place where the chickens are fed organic feed and are truly free-range – having lots of outdoor access.

My husband is going to get me a gas slide in range and we are having a hard time deciding which to get. I think I really want 5 burners, but the idea of a double oven is really appealing too. Kenmore, Electrolux and GE Cafe all seem to be good options.

Any ideas? I’m thinking I may not use the double ovens very often, but really like the idea of having them available if I need it. Thanks for any and all comments.

Have an opinion about the best oven and range setups and brands?  Please share your tips with Gale by commenting on this post!

I am looking for a business that will convert old reel-to-reel movies to DVD. I am very worried about quality of the work rather than price, as some of these movies are close to 50 years old and they are brittle. I saw a business online that guarantees the “handling” of the movies, but that was a while ago and I can’t remember the name.

Do any Springs Bargains readers have experience with a company that converts old movies to DVD? If you can recommend a service or have comments on the topic, please comment on this post!
