Name my Etsy store
May 4, 2013 5:23 PM   Subscribe

You guys did a great job naming my vintage self-help blog. Now help me name an Etsy store that will focus mainly on items I picked up at school district auctions.

Obsolessons actually would work well for this too, but the focus is different enough that I don't think I want to go that way. "Old School" is very accurate, but maybe too bland? So tell me what you'd call a store where you could buy old cassette recorders, textbooks, school desks, maps, etc.

I love Maps and Mimeographs.

What about just... Mimeograph?

I really like After-School Specialties! My suggestions:
The Principal's Office
One-room Schoolhouse
The Boiler Room (after the room in the school basement where Angela Chase makes out with Jordan Catalano)
