Blue Moon Marketplace

I walked in last week, just browsing and not one person came to help me or even greeted me. The lady stared at me and yet ignored me. She talked to others around me but not a word to me. I'm not sure why but maybe because of my race?! Or maybe she thought I may not buy anything. Terrible customer service so I won't be back.

This place is dangerous to your wallet! Everything is reasonably priced, but there are so many amazing things! I was in town for two days and stopped and made purchases both times. Sara was amazing to chat with and went out of her way to make sure I found what I was looking for. Everything was locally sourced and they support earth friendly products. One of my very favorite stops in Albuquerque!

The architecture of their new space in Old Town complements the vintage, handmade and local pieces curated by the owner, Carol. It's in an adobe nook, accented by blue paint and porch flowers and a sit-down patio. There are currently some desert-inspired shirts for men (though I am considering buying one with the definition of "petrichor" to make a baby gown with) as well as a few collectibles and flasks and wall pieces, but this shop is largely filled with feminine pieces. They carry Apothecary Noir items, which is one of my favorite local brands for lotion and bath bombs. My hands feel awesome from a sample so I feel compelled to give them a shoutout. While a teen would certainly enjoy many of the items in here, they are largely for grown ups of all ages. The southwestern and desert pieces here are nuanced, nothing screaming "tourist"-only pride for our beautiful state. Gift a person you like a whole lot. Yourself, even, if you are feeling some self-love.

A blue moon is an additional full moon that appears in a subdivision of a year: either the third of four full moons in a season, or a second full moon in a month of the common calendar.In case you happened to Google it yourself, yes, I just ripped that quote from Wikipedia. Because I didn't know what a blue moon was. And when I read it, I thought, Yeah, that's just about right. This boutique nookery is a four-leaf clover, a double rainbow after a downpour, a brief glimpse of a shooting star, a sweet surprise find during the everyday humdrum. I spotted it when I parked my car next to Limonata, and inquiring minds want to know, so I checked it out. Good stuff. Reclaimed and recycled housewares and decorations, local artist jewelry, cool clothes, a fitting room and a nice owner. Really fair prices. Good gifting for that once-in-a-blue-moon-occasion.

Lovely new things coming in all the time!! Unusual and creative gift buying experience!!When at the ponderosa brewery turn the corner and come see us!!

I just happened to see a t-shirt in the window that I had to have. The Blue Moon Marketplace is small and unique. While browsing there, I saw jewelry, art, and vintage items among other items for sale. There are a few other treasures that I'd like to have...

Diamond in the rough! Amazingly affordable! I have found the greatest gifts and unique pieces for my home! Love this place, very neat and not overwhelming with vintage and new items.

What a lovely space, with unique artwork, clothing, and gifts. I purchased a painting that is now one of my favorite things, and a scented soy candle that I prefer to all the scented candles I have ever used.

Blue Moon is worth visiting! If you are a local or just passing thru stop by as there is always something new. This store is my go to for presents for those who are hard to shop for. The shop features an ever changing selection of vintage, locally made and fair trade treasures.

This shop features a beautifully & thoughtfully curated assortment of handmade & vintage treasures. From locally made bath products to handmade jewelry & art to soft & comfortable clothing (with positive messages or interesting graphics) this is a one-stop shop for your gifting needs, or to pamper yourself. The owner is friendly & genuine. This is my favorite gift shop in Albuquerque.
