NAME THAT SHOP CONTEST

Another Steam Punk Collage
I am addicted !

Within the next couple of weeks I am going to close my current Etsy Shop
and open a new one.



I have had my current shop for over 4 years now.
I have all of my beautiful custom handmade greeting cards and a few collages in there at present.

Currently my Etsy name is pchickki and my shop of course is Treasure Barn which is confusing to most people. Does she sell chicks? What is a pchickki? Where are the barns?
I am sure most of you know where the name pchickki came from as it is posted here in my profile but a shopper usually does not look at your profile. They are drawn to what you have in your shop .

Also with all the time I put into my handmade cards and envelopes, I have to put a price on them that covers time and material making them not so attractive to people who do not understand this and those who do can probably make them their selves.

So my plan is to open a brand new Etsy Shop and have only altered tins in it. The possibilities are endless and I am going to give it a try. HERE IS WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP.

I am taking suggestions for the name for my new Etsy Shop.
Keep in mind I will be selling "Altered Tins Only" such as these.

The winner will be able to choose any tin of her choice and also will receive any one of my beautiful handmade greeting cards with handmade envelope FREE.

Please leave your suggestion here in a comment and if you could pass the word along on your blog that will give me lots of choices.
I will choose three of my favorites and then YOU get to vote on which one YOU like best.
That will be the name of my new Etsy Shop.

You can use the photo above of my first 7 tins when you post about it on your blog.

I will be opening my new blog as soon as I have a name for it.

THANK YOU MY FRIENDS
WISH ME LUCK
