Candy Store & Art Gallery Name

I need help to come up with a name for my new business that will sell sweets, and my own artwork. I will make and sell fudge for retail and wholesale purchasing, but I will also carry nuts, trail mix and a full line of fine chocolates from a well-known chocolate company nearby (sort-of a second retail location for that candy company). I would like to include my name if it’s possible … either my first name Sue, or my last name Hart. Would the name “A Work of Hart …” be something I could incorporate? The business is located on a coastal river in eastern Maine.

As an artist, I’ve designed my own logo that includes a heart-shaped sun rising over a chocolate river. The sky around the sun is in warm tones of golden caramel and orange, and the river looks like chocolate with caramel-colored reflections of the rising sun running through it. I’d like to paint this logo/mural on the main wall of my shop and continue with the chocolate river (receding in lighter warm tones) on two other walls. I will paint the entire ceiling to look like a sky with clouds that reflect the colors of the rising sun. The floors are already warm wood and will compliment the artwork.

Note: One major wall that runs the entire length of the shop will remain neutral/off white, and will be a gallery wall for my murals, floorcloths and other artwork. I will also incorporate my other handmade items throughout the store. I have rustic shelving and cupboards; an antique cash register; a 10′ long antique counter with 20 frontal openings for product in baskets; 2 beautiful antique wood stoves; and plenty of tables and miscellaneous displays for products. However, I’m finding it difficult to come up with a name for this store. I appreciate any ideas that you may offer, which will help to make my dreams come true!
