Description
"Hello, my name is PEARL and I run this business. I'm a 10 year old Fox Terrier with a keen business-sense. I have 5 employees, their names are: Dan, Rudi, Samantha, Whitney & Emily Taylor. We all live in the small town of Lyons, Colorado, which is located at the edge of the Rocky Mountains. Dan & Rudi started collecting African Trade Beads many, many years ago. Eventually they had to start selling some of them, so with my help and expertise we developed "Happy Mango Beads", which is primarily an internet based business. I really don't enjoy airplanes (or flying) so I send my top people, Dan & Rudi, to many places around the world in search of beads. Samantha, Whitney & Emily are their daughters, they travel when they can. Samantha is a busy mother of 3 and works hard to keep Happy Mango's inventory accurate. Whitney is a student at Colorado University at Boulder with a major in International Affairs. Besides working for Happy Mango Beads 2 days each week, Whitney also operates her own business, Little Mango Imports. Emily is a junior at Lyons High School and a very good basketball player - I taught her to be quick! The Taylor's are all great people and I'm lucky to have them workin' for me!"

Description
Happy Mango Beads is a small, internet based business located in the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains in a small town called Lyons. It all started over 20 years ago when Dan & Rudi Taylor began collecting African Trade Beads as a hobby. As the collection grew they tried selling some of the beads and “Happy Mango Beads” was born. Because of Dan & Rudi’s love of travel (and history in the import/export field) it was the perfect business for them. Now they travel all over the world to countries such as; Peru, Nepal, Indonesia, China, Ghana, Italy (to name a few) in search of special beads, pendants and amulets. Dan & Rudi LOVE their work and they love beads - we believe the Happy Mango Beads website is a reflection of that.
Also working at Happy Mango Beads:
Whitney - She’s always singing! Whitney is Dan & Rudi’s right-hand woman. Besides working for HMB she operates her own web-based business, check it out at Little Mango Imports. She recently graduated with honors from the University of Colorado at Boulder with majors in International Affairs & International Economics. She loves to travel, ski and talk politics...oh, and she's a 4th degree black belt in karate!
Emily - Em is invaluable! Nobody has a better work ethic. She’s our bookkeeper, but she also gets stuck working in the shipping room when we get busy. She is a student at Colorado State University at Ft. Collins with a major in International Affairs and a minor in Spanish. We may lose her (temporarily) in March '09 when she travels to Chile to study abroad for 5 months. She loves to snowboard, play tennis, cruise around in her Jeep and shop!
Sally (aka The New Girl) - What a great addition to Happy Mango Beads! We are lucky to have Sally. She has an extensive knowlege of gemstones and recently put together our Gemstone Information Chart. More on Sally coming soon...
Zoie & Tinkerbell - Honestly they aren’t the best workers…they are ALWAYS underfoot, but of course they don’t get paid either. Tinkerbell (she was a rescue, she came with that name) is a Rat Terrier and she guards the bead room day and night. Zoie is a 4lb “blue” Chihuahua and she’s so famous here in Lyons that local businesses always remember her on Christmas. She also has her own pile of beads she buries her bones in.
Pearl (in memory of) - Some of you might remember Pearl - she was the “boss” of Happy Mango Beads for many years. Pearl passed away last summer after a long bout with Cushings Disease. She was a good ‘ol girl and she loved to wear beads! Her picture remains on this page.
