new business name

k friends, i thought i'd include you in something fun! i need to create a new name for my little business. right now it's "DIY Shoppe" because i mostly sell do-it-yourself patterns and tutorials for the flowers that i used to sell as finished pieces (under the business name "Baby Flair Boutique"). but i also sell printables now. and i still do sell finished pieces at the occasional Queen Bee Market.

so, the dilemma is that at the last show i was selling prints and headbands. not so "d-i-y", you know? but my booth had a banner up that said "diy shoppe"... it just wasn't making much sense. SO, i'm going for something very general, universal, like i could be selling anything. not specific to headbands, or baby, or prints, or anything else. and also cute, something that evokes a pretty picture in your mind. here are some examples of business names i really like:

parkside harmony
ivory & moss
stella & dot
marigold road
No. 17 Cherry Tree Lane

------------------------------------------------------------------------
and here are the front-runners for my own business name:

blossom road
feather and blossom
birch and blossom
cotton lane
cottonwood lane
mulberry lane
hazel and cotton
ivy and ginger
ginger lane

not really a rhyme or reason behind any of them, just thought they sounded pretty. what do you think? favorites? more ideas/variations on any of the above? i would love your input!

  1. I like them all! I think my favorites are hazel and cotton (it's different) and birch and blossom.

    Thinking up a business name is so hard! I've been trying to think up something for weeks, and I can't seem to do it. It doesn't help that when you think you are onto something, you look it up online and it's already being used! That's been my problem anyway :)

  5. hey! i love the word blossom...it seems to go with your life, your family, your business...all budding! what about budding blossom? i really like birch & blossom too though. here's my blossom brainstorm: blossom & bee, blossom & berry, blossom & vine...both those last ones were inspired by the "vine and branches" and bearing fruit passages, if ya want to tie something like that in. i could brainstorm forever, so i'll stop myself now :)

to wipe away your yelling

one of my favorite things to do in december is to drive around to see the lights. our neighborhood is huge, and we have some seriously awesome houses. one of them is our next-door neighbor, so we don't have to look very far it we don't want to. but at least five or six times in december i would stick the girls in the car and drive around our neighborhood to spot the best-decorated houses. one particular evening, as we were driving, i asked my three-year old if she remembered what was so special about Christmas. "it's when Jesus came to see all my presents!" that's when you know you're doing a good job, right? yeah, so i gently reminded her that Jesus came, in fact, to wipe away our sins. after a thirty second pause, she wondered out loud: "He came to wipe away your yelling?" straight.to.the.heart. "Because when you yell, that's your sin. and when i don't listen to you, that's my sin." yes, right again. i found
