Dawn Habisreitinger, who had the Etsy shop below, was killed yesterday in a motorcycle accident. She was 30 years old and had two sons.

Dawn made jewelry and lampwork beads (I am lucky to have some of her beads). I remember her most for her trials during Hurricane Katrina. Dawn and her boys lived in Slidell, Louisiana and during the evacuation she kept all of us in an Ebay group posted on her whereabouts by stopping in libraries and getting on the Internet. She lost just about everything in the house. Basically, she drove around with her two boys and a dog and I don’t recall where she stayed while her home was being rebuilt. It was a few hours away from Slidell. I remember seeing pictures of the inside of the house with all the walls down to the studs. Dawn did a lot of the renovation herself and was so proud of it.

She was just getting back in the swing of managing her website, shows, Etsy Shop and Ebay Store, enough so that she was making a living with her beads and jewelry. It is such a shame to have lost a talented artist and I feel so badly for her sons and other family members.
