This is what Miki Kidron saw when she sat for breakfast at Neita's Nest on her first morning in Kingston, Jamaica, having arrived all the way from Israel the night before.
It was Art Beat in a heart beat. Miki wanted a dozen of Nancy Burke's Art Beat line of placemats, but she was on her way to Treasure Beach that morning. I had to make it happen for her while pouring water and juice, describing the Jamaican breakfast being served, receiving other guests for an early check-in, serving them and their post-conference host some welcoming Jamaican coffee, and searching for the contact information for the artist before the JUTA taxi arrived to take Miki and Igal off to the other end of the island.
And, Voilà! Between the internet and contacts hosting the annual Liguanea Art Festival where I bought mine a few years ago, I was able to link Miki and Nancy by phone before Miki departed. By then, it was a done deal.

Here, Nancy,
like Ruebens, puts the finishing touches on her designs before shipping them off for Miki in Israel.
How small this world can be!
