Back in December we shared the news that Donna Ryan Photography was crowdsourcing a new name.

The crowd supplied lots of ideas, but the winning name was actually sourced from the backstories and explanations that accompanied the submissions. The West Seattle kids stuff shop — where gorgeous images of little ones are among the items on offer — is heretofore known as City Mouse Studio and Store. mouse/info:1055/

‘The name City Mouse reminds me of my childhood growing up in Australia where my favorite story was the Aesop’s Fable, City Mouse, Country Mouse,’ says photographer and shop owner Donna Ryan. ‘It evokes feelings of resourcefulness and a modern lifestyle, two unique aspects of my business.’

On behalf of everyone who entered, the $500 gift certificate that was promised to the contest winner went to WestSide Baby, a White Center-based non-profit that provides diapers, clothing, toys and equipment to families in need.

Want to see for yourself what’s really in a name? Join city mice on Saturday February 12 from 10 to 5 for an open house.

Shoppers will enjoy 20 percent off storewide, including new products like super soft baby clothes from Babysoy, edible finger paints from Wee Can Too, and hip gear from SkipHop. Additionally, purchases put you in the running for a $300 portrait package, and, the booking of a portrait shoot ($75 sitting fee) for March or April gets you $35 credit towards any Tea clothing purchase made that day.

Cupcakes and mimosas, naturally, will be served.
