while others much smarter than i will undoubtedly give you a solution,
i'd actually recommend redesigning your XML. it seems unwieldy to have
a plain text node "Almond Decorative" as a child of <finish>, mixed
in with legitimate child elements <hold>.
why not give that field an element name? then you can select it
explicitly by that element name, and your problem would go away.
