I like White Sands Gifts - I also agree with avoiding "handmade" I like the idea of specialty, unique, etc... hmmm...

Maybe use one of the following instead: custom - specialty - unique -

Is this to be a service shop - or stuff/things AND service?
I agree. Using the words custom and specialty imply that you will do what suits your customer.

If you are only going to be online, your second line in your title would include words describing your expertise.
If you are also going to have an onsite shop you might want to include specific words in the main name/title. When we are travelling and I want to visit a quilt shop or specialty shop, I use my GPS.
If the shop name doesn't have the word 'quilt', 'stitch'or 'sew' in it or a derivative of, it won't come up when I do a GPS search using those words.

Are you going to have an actual place of business where customers can shop or just work/sell from home/online? If you are just getting a business license you don't need to put Quilting * Embroidery * Sewing as part of the name of the business but it would be okay on a sign or letterhead.

I would keep it simple like Oceanside Stitches and Gifts, or Sue's Corner, or even just Your Name Enterprises. If you sell online on sites like Etsy or Ebay you don't have to use your real business name, in fact I read somewhere that you should not use your actual business name online.

This is all just my opinion.

Handmade Gifts from the Heart
Rainbow Gifts
Over-the-Rainbow Gifts
Village Artisan Studio, quilting-embroidery-sewing
