Bear Haven’s 2011 Mom-Owned Small Business Gift Guide

The 3 Blondes began our business out of a passion for providing quality and affordable jewelry , handbags, and pet accessories to our friends and work associates. We specialize in creating and showcasing original and custom designs which are fun and affordable for today’s working women and their pets! We maintain a diverse inventory which changes frequently and all of our designs are original and handmade. We continually look for new artists to collaborate with as well as new products to add to our collection. 3 Blondes and a Bag provide an opportunity for people to purchase unique gifts from a small business owner.   Therefore, the profits earned stay locally to the small business owner and not feed the corporate giant.

Reflections on Japan and Korea

Greetings from Seoul. It’s 0800 on Monday and I’m sitting in bed with a coffee, contemplating when to prize myself out of a comfy bed and into the shower.

We are now playing the waiting game and twiddling our thumbs until we can clamber aboard the plane home. A further 12 hours and an epic fortnight in Japan and South Korea is over.

There are many wonderful pleasures attached to this job, and arriving home in the UK is certainly one of them.

After two weeks of emotional, fraught, pressurised and dramatic television – the kind I think only live sport can deliver – walking in through the front door always feels strange, and it takes a couple of days to adjust emotionally as the adrenalin melts away.

I normally help the process along by heading out to my local pub for dinner with my wife, just to really feel like I’m home. By the time you’re reading this I may well already be there – pint of bitter in hand.
