I thought I'd try to loosen things up here, so let's have some fun. As I
told you in an earlier post I am opening an antique booth soon and I am
without a name for my shop. I want the name of my shop to relate to Dark
Shadows somehow (remember Rose Cottage Antiques and Collectibles is
taken by someone else). Please be clever, witty, charming, silly,
whatever you like. I will determine the winner on September 12, 1998.
The winner will receive a prize taken from my booth in the $10.00
range(sorry I am just starting out)!! Thanks for your help and let the
games begin.

I, for one, would pay a pretty penny to have the original Leviathan box
used in the show. However, Alexander could not be part of the deal. All
I need is to have another possessed kid running around my house.

More names for a Den of Antiquity (a real shop in Provincetown, Mass.,
by the way.)
"The Caravan" (a tribute to the Romano tribe's preferred mode of
transportation, and the fact that you stated it's
a booth, which can be taken down and moved like
an old-time tinker's)
"The Hope Chest" (like the one in Josette's room, from which Barnabas
extracted curiously-preserved 200-yr.-old clothing.
Kind of an ironic name, at that. No hope for poor J.!)
"Resurrection" (Need I say more?)
"One from the Hearth" (The Collins version of Web TV.)

Hope this helps, but anyway, it brightened a difficult day to think
them up.

How about The Old House
or, simply,
Canes--although I don't know what type of collectibles you're displaying.

Do you have a favorite DS storyline that you for which you could name your
business?

Probably not too original, but how about Collinsport Antiques or the Todd
Antiquary??

Well, this isn't original but it may answer another question.
How about "Todd's Antiques"?

reply. How about BarnaBibelots?

The suggestions for Stairway Through Time and All Walled Up Antiques were
pretty cute, IMHO.
