Magnetic Star Stuff

Feb 15, 2012 14:56

So, in light of my change in merchandise, I've renamed my Etsy Shop to "Magnetic Star Stuff." I really like the name because I sell magnets and I love space/the cosmos, and everything in existence once was forged in the heart of a star, so we really are all (as Sagan famously said) "made of star-stuff"--including my magnets.

My one concern is that I also sell other non-magnetic things. I've still got some clay figures I'm trying to sell, as well as various other artwork that I've done, and a few vintage things. (Mostly clothing that I've bought for myself that I don't wear or that doesn't fit, etc.)

So, is it weird to name my store "Magnetic Star Stuff" and then also sell non-magnetic things? I've considered also branching out to later selling stickers and laminated print-outs of my designs, which obviously wouldn't be magnetic, either. So that's an additional concern. I could technically open up a second shop to sell non-magnetic things or whatever, but I'd rather not if possible.

Of course I could go with simply "Made of Star Stuff" as a shop name, but they suggest you have a unique name that will be the top Google result and not terribly easily confused with other sites, etc. so I feel like "Magnetic Star Stuff" is far more individual.

HELP ME LJ. What are your thoughts?!
