A New Life for Another Blue Moon

Step into the joyful world of antiquing at Another Blue Moon, where each visit promises an adventure filled with nostalgia and discovery. 

Situated in the basement of the Middleburg Professional Center, Another Blue Moon has found a renewed purpose, reopening this September in a new home. The shop, owned and managed by Kerry Dale, is now accessible one long weekend each month — a rhythm that allows Dale the freedom and joy of “the hunt.” Dale says she enjoys scouring near and far for antiques, vintage gems, and seasonal curiosities to fill her shelves and delight loyal patrons and treasure seekers alike.

Previously, Another Blue Moon operated in Middleburg as a consignment shop. Now it’s a fully curated retail experience. Each monthly event features a special theme, adding a fresh twist to the array of goods on offer. In October, featured items captured an “Au Natural” ambience, with pieces crafted from bamboo, rattan, wicker, and woven materials — both real and faux. While the themed selections are a highlight, most of the shop’s inventory remains delightfully eclectic.

“The feature is just an added element, like a handful of trees in a forest,” she explains. Future monthly features may include painted furniture and — just in time for November — themed items for holiday entertaining. Dale’s commitment to sourcing unique finds ensures there’s always something new for visitors to discover.

The decision to operate just one long weekend a month reflects Dale’s passion for the acquiring phase of her business and for fostering a sense of anticipation. She opted to keep the barn location, favoring its destination appeal over the daily foot traffic of Main Street. “I don’t need street traffic; I need people putting it on their calendar and coming down when I’m open,” Dale shares.

No visit to Another Blue Moon would be complete without meeting Kylie, the shop’s canine mascot. Adored by customers, Kylie continues to “work” for Dale — so long as treats and belly rubs remain part of the job description.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just looking for a weekend adventure, Another Blue Moon welcomes guests to explore the ever-changing tapestry of vintage finds. Every experience reveals fresh surprises and curated collections, ensuring new delights and unexpected gems for all who enter. ML
