“Freddy has an insane collection of unique finds from Mexico and all over really. One day I'm going to be rich, come in and buy all the handcrafted beadwork. Oh my god is it gorgeous!Seriously, go here if you want to ship local, and come out with something beautiful.”
“In the olden days, before massive corporations pushed small mom-and-pop stores out of business, almost every neighborhood had its own independent neighborhood pharmacy. Many of these functioned as mini-department stores, having a wide selection of goods to meet the needs of the community: cookware, clothing, and gifts, just to name a few categories. Webster's Pharmacy seems to be one of these almost extinct businesses that has miraculously survived in Altadena since 1926. I was on my way to Bulgarinia Gelato when I noticed the cool retro signage of Webster's and decided to pop in to check it out. There's a large, free parking lot in the back, as well as street parking in the front. I was pleasantly suprised to find not only a fully stocked pharmacy but an absolutely adorable gift shop featuring BOOKS and other gifts. This includes a section devoted to ANTHONY BOURDAIN (a hero to many Yelpers, despite his utter disdain for Elite Yelpers, may he RIP). There are holiday candies, slippers, Christmas tree ornaments and pretty much something for everyone (there was even a section for folks that like to use "colorful metaphors", as Spock would say.) I'm not sure if the gifts are stocked year round but if you need something last minute for the holidays, Webster's can certainly help. Most items are full price but occasional discounts apply. Long live Webster's!”
“It was an absolutely pleasure working with Samera from 409 Woodbury. I took some photos of her space. The event space is truly a wonderful find! Her prices are fair and there are options to rent out either one room or the entire place. The outdoors area is spectacular! I can envision many weddings here and all sorts of gatherings.
Samera did a stellar job on making the space feels inviting, modern/rustic and with a hint of elegance. If you have an eye for design like I do, you will see endless possibilities in her space. I highly recommend you check it out for yourself.”
