FWIW, I find one-name businesses to be irritating. I don't know if
"Rustica" is a bakery or a gift store - and I would be more inclined
to assume the latter. Rustica Bakery, I can identify. Sometimes I
drive by such places and never stop simply because I don't know what
they are. If it said bakery, I'd be more inclined. Don't count on
word-of-mouth to carry you through - many people are from OOT and will
never discover what you are.

Good luck - sounds wonderful.
