One of the things I've really enjoyed about selling on line is getting to "meet" so many wonderful sellers. There's a great sense of community which really came out in the Coriandr Express promotion which we took part in earlier this year. Twenty sellers got together to promote each other for three days at a time. Here's a quick look at what the first five have in their Coriandr shops now.

There are so many wonderful blogs out there, quirky, funny, interesting, informative ... here are just 3, each with a Japanese connection, that I love to read:

Hiroko lives in Denver and posts beautiful photos of her life there and thoughts on living a greener life on her blog Live Simple Eco Life, Love Green.

Mari is a student in Brazil who writes a blog, M's diary, as part of her English class.

"East meets West at La Fuji Mama, a home cooking blog dedicated to exploring the relationship between food and culture."

Hope you enjoy them too!
