South Africa is a poorer place now…

Our beloved Jeanne flew home on Sunday night. There are few people who arrive in Cape Town from overseas and are able to make this place home with such ease and grace. An incredible friend to and a founding member of our group of wonder women by night, amazingly capable and intuitive activist-academic by day, Jeanne will be sorely missed by many as she makes her way home to New York. Not only an amazing personal friend, Jeanne was a wonderful supporter of Beloved Beadwork, whether by hosting our two-day photoshoot in her perfect-light apartment, climbing on top of our showroom to drill holes and fit ceilings, or placing well-timed orders to feed her Beloved Beadwork addiction, she has been vital to keeping us sane.

Bring on June. I can’t wait for you to be back here Jeanne.
