About Us:
Bleu Moon’s Attic is a couple with a life long passion for treasure hunting. We have a commitment to bring you those rare treasures you can’t find just everywhere. Whether it be a new item such as a handbag, evening bag, handmade piece of jewelry, or a rare collectible or a fine antique, you stand a good chance of finding it on Bleu Moon’s Attic.

We know what it’s like to live in a rural part of the country and not have access to the big name retailers, specialty boutiques or large antique shops. Luckily the online shopping experience has changed all of that and we are committed to finding those unique items and bringing them directly to you, where ever you may live.

Who are we?
We are Sally & Doug Williams, a married couple that turned our hobby of being aficionados of flea markets, garage sales, antique malls, auctions and swap meets into a mid-life career change after our children were grown and gone.

For the first 7 years we concentrated our selling on flea markets and antique malls. We both worked in the antique mall management field during those years as well.

2007 saw Doug’s retirement and the shift of our focus to online sales exclusively.

More about Doug:
Doug has many years of experience in the field of small business ownership and jumped into web design back in the mid 1990’s. He is the one that makes everything “pretty”.

He designs all templates himself and takes all photos himself. You will never find stock photos on Bleu Moon’s Attic sites.

He is the nuts & bolts guy that does the bulk of the work behind the scenes as well. He maintains our stock so that there is still room for us in the house and so that things can be readily found for shipping once they sell.

More about Sally:
Sally is a lifelong nerd that just has to read up on any and everything that catches her fancy. She does most of the research on the ‘treasures’ and writes all the descriptions. She loves the net, social networking sites and various forums she frequents. Since she still works full time as a floral designer and also does wedding floral consulting/design, she doesn’t get to spend as much time here as she would like.

Our commitment to you:
We have combined our knowledge and expertise to bring many treasures to online buyers. We sell both old and new merchandise. You can be assured that all new merchandise offered for sale will be clearly labeled as such. All merchandise is thoroughly checked over and researched before being placed for sale. All descriptions are accurate to the best of our ability and any defects or damage will be clearly described and pictures shown.

Most items such as purses, handbags, evening bags and clothing will be new with tags condition and will be noted as such in the description.

Used items such as pottery, glassware and books will be well described and will have multiple photos to give you the best idea possible as to overall condition. Please do not hesitate to email us with questions on any of our merchandise. We will answer all questions ASAP.

We hope you will remember us for that ‘once in a blue moon’ item.

Customer Satisfaction:
Bleu Moon’s Attic wants to know that from beginning to end you have found shopping with us fun, professional, and enjoyable. Most of all we want to make sure you are happy with your purchase.

If for any reason we have not done our part to your satisfaction, please contact us. Return Policy: Bleu Moon’s Attic wants to be sure that you are satisfied with your purchase. If you are not please contact us within 3 days to arrange a return or exchange. Returns must be insured.

The Vintage Vamp StoreAt The Vintage Vamp we obtain high quality images of vintage artwork. Then we use state of the art technology and editing to bring back to life the most compelling images from the past. Unlike a lot of posters sold on the Internet, ours have been refurbished to bring out the original colors and fix as many imperfections as possible. We use only PNG format and the largest DPI (dots per inch) possible, which is the very best for printing.

Eclecticism is a kind of mixed style in the fine arts: “the borrowing of a variety of styles from different sources and combining them”. At The Eclectic Image we obtain high quality images of vintage artwork. We use state of the art technology and editing to bring back to life the most compelling images from the past. Then we partnered with Cafepress to print these images on a multitude of items. The Eclectic Image has also partnered with ALLPosters.com to add to our collection.
