IT TAKES A VILLAGE

I started Via de la LUNA (by way of the moon) after putting my babies to bed.  Initially it was all about vintage, something I have loved collecting and using in my own life.  I gravitate toward mid-century items (from the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s) and mix them with new and contemporary items for an eclectic, generational home.  Most of my product is geared for the young-at-heart, men and women, just starting out or ready to change things up.  Some of my favorites are old cameras, typewriters, MCM Barware and crystal, vintage Christmas, Made in Japan, and of course anything Snoopy.

Little LUNA is mostly focused on baby gift giving. I like to add previously-loved-items when decorating a child’s room whether its vintage toys, games, old books or doll house miniatures.   This space is for the hip parent that prefers fun over cutesy.

For over ten years I have been selling in collectives and pop-up locations in San Diego and Orange County.  Most of them were shuttered due to the tough business climate and then closed permanently by the pandemic.  Junktion101 has made a home for me to sell my lifestyle products and I am honored join this wonderful family.

Im Valerie, the gypsy soul and creator of everything in my shop. I create items that are designed and crafted by my two hands. The process of designing from start to finish is my jam! I enjoy what I do and hope that shines through in each and every piece. I love funky clothing, Western style and horses. Favorite pastimes include hunting for eclectic hand crafted textiles and objects, and sipping wine in the Southern California sunshine with my two dogs; Oh! and my husband too.

May you discover some special pieces to feed your own creative spirit. Cheers!

Some folks say they don't like the taste of Apple Cider Vinegar. Nana Cider has a touch of natural sweetness from raw, organic honey. Just add a shot to your morning smoothie to get those healthy immune boosting benefits that Nana Cider offers. Nana's Jardiniere are also a favorite among customers. They are a great addition to salads.
