Another VIP on the Coriandr Express

The next VIP on the Coriandr Express is Stacey-Ann, who owns the Creativesque shop. She makes beautiful bookmarks, cards and other artwork. This scribble bookmark is handpainted in eyecatching watercolours:


All of Stacey-Ann's items are handmade and well-packaged so that they reach you in perfect condition.

These sophisticated gift tags are ideal for any sort of present, and are hand drawn so no two are exactly alike:



One of my favourite items in Stacey-Ann's shop is this watercolour ACEO (ACEO stands for Art Card, Editions and Originals):


I love the colours and simplicity of this piece - it's an easy and inexpensive way to own a piece of original art.

Check out Stacey-Ann's shop for yourself - you're guaranteed to find something you love. For more details about the Coriandr Express, check out the blog and follow us on Twitter.

The Coriandr Express takes to the sea!

The next VIP on the Coriandr Express is Lynne, owner of the PiratePixieCrew shop on Coriandr. Lynne is enthusiastic about the items she makes, you can tell she loves doing what she's doing. And why wouldn't she? Who wouldn't want to be the captain of a pirate ship, setting sail for exotic destinations in search of treasure?


That adorable chap is Shamus, and he assists Lynne by modelling various items in her shop. He's the strong, silent type - a bit of a Heathcliff in sheep's clothing, I reckon. When he's not modelling cool eyepatches, he can be found showing off Lynne's adorable baby hats:



I love the colours of the wool in this hat, they make me think of fruit salad, or berries. And with that pose, I reckon Shamus could have a career in catalogue modelling if he ever decides to hang up his eyepatch and turn land-lubber.

There is something for everyone in Lynne's shop: she makes cute hats, cool eyepatches, and a variety of swag bags for pirates of all ages. This business card holder (again in fabulous colours) is ideal for the more corporate pirate:


And for those long, cold evenings on the ship, when the rum doesn't quite warm the cockles as it should, you can always put on a pair of these hand-knitted armwarmers.


Pretty enough for you to wear when you're trying to impress, but they don't impede if you need to draw your cutlass in a hurry.

So go on, treat yourself to some treasure from Lynne's shop. For more details about the Coriandr Express, check out the blog and follow us on Twitter.
