LINKS
The following are links to websites of family and friends that I highly recommend.
Cosentino’s Nursery
Cosentino’s Nursery is my family’s plant nursery in Malibu, CA. They specialize in succulents (growing many of them at the nursery,) and other plants that flourish in Southern California’s characteristically Mediterranean climate. On PCH about a mile north of Malibu Canyon, on a bluff overlooking the Pacific. Beautiful plants for your home and garden in a spectacular setting!
Artrestorebustamantes.com
Expert art restoration by Guillermo Parada, specialzing in Sergio Bustamante sculpture and Amphora pottery. Restoration of sculpture, ceramics, plaster, paper mache, stone, wood, metal and more. So good you’ll never think it was broken!
Graphaids Art Supply, Agoura Hills
For art supplies, choose Graphaids, known to be the #1 shop for artists in L.A. Family owned since 1971. I have been buying art supplies from them for over twenty years. The staff who have waited on my there are wonderful; I remember them all. The owner is one of the most gracious entreprenuers I know and bends over backwards to satisfy his customers. They take orders over the phone and have curbside pick-up during this corona virus pandemic. Try them, you won’t be disappointed.
