!–paging_filter–pJulie Andres, former chef and owner of a href=”http://\/\/staging.seattlemag.com.239elwb01.blackmesh.com/la-medusa“La Medusa/a in Columbia City, and present yoga teacher, has launched a href=”http://almaseattle.com/” target=”_blank”Alma/a, a new pop-up concept (with plans to go brick and mortar) just in time for the holidays./p
pAndres imports unique, colorful and soulful (more on this below) jewelry and artisan crafts made by the Huichol tribe and other artists from Nayarit and Jalisco, including some amazing leather bags from Sayulita (a popular surf town), for Alma, which means “soul or self” in Spanish.
