The Purple Moon is a place I could 'live' . . . Chuck and his wife a store full of items that I simply adore! Every nook and cranny is full of treasures. . . .you simply must visit and see for yourself!
I took some photos, but only of the Blenko - - the furniture, the art, the phones, the vintage dishes, oh...so many items. The inventory changes daily. . .this is a store you need to visit often.
