I need some advice!

I've been working on some new miniatures and I really like them.  I don't think they go with the "kid" theme of my shop so I'm going to start a second shop and call it "Megan's Minis".  The problem I'm having is knowing what to call them.  I've made the majority of these on recycled lids (candle, jar etc).  They are really just for show.  I really didn't mean for them to work as a candle topper but some of them could be used that way.  How do I market these?  .....and what should I charge for them?  I was thinking $30 for the small houses and $40 for the larger, more detailed ones.  What do you guys think?
Thanks- Megan Dresback (FFTFandB)

I think you're on target with your price, but I have no idea what to call them either.

I will agree, I think the pricing sounds just fine- as to what to call them.. I guess it depends on if you are keeping a theme with them or not- to me, they resemble fantasy/fairy things (and I LOVE fairies!!!) but that may not be what you are going for.

Off the top of my head I can think of simple stuff like

Lovely lids
Joyful Jars
Creative Candle Covers
Live-able Lids/Candle cottages (since they are houses)

I'm sure I can come up with more if I were to sit here and really think about it- but I have a date with several sets of fairy wings to make.

If you need more suggestions, just ask!

I keep thinking of the Keebler Cookes when I look at them!

Wonderful art!
