That way, the tourists would be very clear on who the proprietoress is. What will you do with the shop when the girls come again and you need to get away? Have you thought this through?
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA------ i have People who will work for me darling----my PEOPLE!!!---my STAFF-----heeeeeeeeeeee------I LOVE the name,but only if you will come and work for me-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
- i hope it was IN STYLE to have a BIG SLOBBY TEE SHIRT over skinny pants at the time,
Well, of course it was, you hot maritime babe, you!
Tell us a few more names at the market -- what is the market itself called (because I have the memory of a gnat)? Oh My Cod is, well, sort of disturbing. And fishy... What will be your main line of merch.? Too bad FogDog is already taken.... heh heh. Fog is what I remember most about your coastline! How about:
Grab Bagz
Ye Olde Sea Bat is lovely.
I can quite understand the teenager computer problem. We have 3 people in this house and 2 computers and DH still has problems finding enough time on the computer!
Hold on a sec while I go retrieve our lovely photo...
I NEED YOUR HELP=====WE NEED A NAME AND i think it has to have something to do with either the MARKET itself,the fact that we live by the Bay or Ocean-----I really want a cool name----at the moment the name is "OH MY COD"----however that is not my kind of name---it's kind of silly and i want it to be semi-classy---------
Hmmm...I suppose "HUFFIN' 'N' PUFFIN" is out of the question?
i LOVE you guys!!!! you are SOOOOOOOO dependable!!!!---hmmmmmmm let's see---the name of some of the shops are "Pat's Secret Garden","Sisters","The Wild Carrot",'Jerimiah's"."Linja Gifts"{chinese groceries and souveniers,"St Croix Creations","The Baking Stone"---some are food,some are gifts...i love fogdog and grabbagz----Puffins are sweet but they are on Grand Manan-----------------THIS IS HARDER THAN I THOUGHT!!!!
stained glass lamps and stained glass windows,pottery,jewellery,children's handmade dolls, candles,books and cookbooks from the maritimes,some 'touristy" items like postcards ------ local artwork and local greeting cards-----------other assorted handcrafts from the maritimes----the shop is supposed to have eighty percent "fine handcrafts"---- and twenty percent "imports"===typical tourist gift shop in atlantic canada
Our local pretties shops are Through the Garden Gate and Blue Stem, if that helps.
Up at the lake, there's the Barnswallow and one shop with such a terrible name I can't remember it because I've blocked it out. It's so cutesy that I would never stop there.
Treasures by the Sea? Treasures by the Bay? Treasure Chest? [market name] Market Treasures? Maritime Treasures.
As you can see, I like the word treasure. I also like gem, jewel, or precious, but it might be tough to avoid false advertising.
Our local gift shops are "Lupins" and "Moose on the Roof" I think there are others, but since I rarely shop them, being a non-tourist, I can't remember.
I'm sorry, Cowpern, you get the prize for lamest local gift shop names. "Gift Bar" -- sounds like it ought to be at the airport.
One of my favorite names, I won't tell you for what in case you like it, is "GraySea". I think it's sort of lyrical, although of course it is pronounced Gracie.
Does your town (notice how carefully I'm safeguarding your identity--that's because I am toast! ) have a nickname? I was thinking something like Mystic Graysea. Too mystic probably.
The gift shop (as it were) in our town used to be called "Peanuts" until it went out of business.
Names that occurred to me in my sleep:
Treasures & Trinkets (I like treasures too!!)
Sea Shore Gifts
Rocky Shore Gifts
Foggy Day Cards & Gifts
M...'s Memories
Making Waves
The Salty Barnacle
Sea Mist
The crockpot is here! It's huge. It came with four really ucky recipes including one with canned salmon, parmesan and brussels sprouts. Eeeeew! Can you imagine the smell? I think I'll try hamburger soup instead.
Having my epiphany a few days late and actually taking down the Christmas decorations today because all of these shiny things are hurting my eyes.
LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOUR IDEAS!!!!! DON'T STOP!!!! LIKE I SAID---YOU ARE THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO SELL MARGIES AT THE GIFTBAR---------KIWONK----NOW I WANT TO KNOW IF GRAYSEA IS A NOSE SPRAY OR SOMETHING-----------hey girls -----i like Treasures too----but there is a very well known store in the surrounding area with that name and i would probably get in TROUBLE if i were to use it--------------- i love all the ideas------dh has compiled a list too----i should tell you what they are ---if i can find the list i will send it out hahah
Ye Olde Sea Bat is lovely.
