Our business name has always been Around the Block Designs, that is, "designs" with an "s". For five years. Business license, business cards, labels, everything with our logo on it. You name it. "Designs." With an "s".
First I became an etsy buyer. My profile name was aroundtheblockdesign. Do you see anything missing? Like an "s"? Yeah, because they won't let you go beyond 20 characters. At first I thought, "Oh, well. What's the big deal?" Well, it became a big deal when we decided to become sellers! Really? We can't use the "s" on designs? Isn't that going to be confusing?
We went with "aroundtheblockdesign." Without an "s". For awhile.

It bugged me a LOT. It bugged Mark because I
Finally, I couldn't take it any more. And Mark was tired of listening to me.
As of today, we are "One In Every Color." And yes, I did clear it with Jessica, as she uses it a lot in her blog titles.

Fifteen characters. Well under the limit. Opened up a new shop today, closed the other one down.
Etsy, I hope you're happy with us now. Because that sure was a lot of work for one tiny little lower-case "s".
