Double Blossom... What's in a name

I simply have nothing more to add to this shop. It is a precious shop and I am curious to see what the Smart Bird will have.

Well...Double Blossom is named after a kind of Japanese plum blossom that has two rows of petals. I picked the name when I was living in Tokyo and a Japanese friend pointed out a "double blossom" in a garden one day.

But I'm starting fresh in about a week with a new shop/name: Smart Bird. I'm moving into more metal work and fabrication, and Double Blossom feels too...precious...to me now. My first name is Robin, which is a bird. Also, bird means girl in British slang. As for the smart part...it takes brains to hit metal with a hammer! :-)
