We Are Pink Moon Goods
Welcome to Pink Moon Goods, where we celebrate the beauty in everyday living. Our mission is simple: to provide precious items that delight your senses, serve a practical purpose, and contribute to making the world a better place. Whether it’s a reusable, sustainable swap, a fourth-generation brand pocketknife, or a luxurious Japanese bath towel, there is truly something for everyone.
Have you ever walked into a shop and made that little sound when something takes your breath away? That’s what we hope you experience when you visit our shop in Dayton’s charming Historic Huffman Neighborhood. Pink Moon Goods is a place where almost everything serves a practical purpose while also being well-made and beautiful. Every item has a story to tell, and we love sharing those stories with you.
We also love supporting local makers and artists through our mini markets, artist receptions, and annual Kids’ Market, which celebrates the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of our community.
How Pink Moon Goods Came to Be
The inspiration for Pink Moon Goods began with a trip to Japan in 2017. My husband and I spent three weeks exploring cities and the countryside, hiking historical trails, eating delicious food, and discovering a country where beauty seemed to be everywhere, even in the smallest details.
I returned home wondering, What if I could surround myself with beauty always?
The following year, while traveling through the small towns of New England, I found myself drawn to adorable shops filled with beautiful things that were both useful and joyful. I kept having the same thought: Dayton needs a shop like this.
After watching my husband bring his dream of opening a record store to life, I felt inspired to pursue my own idea. In late 2019, we began putting together a plan for Pink Moon Goods. When COVID disrupted those plans, an opportunity to participate in local sidewalk sales gave me the nudge I needed. In September 2020, Pink Moon Goods was born outside my husband’s record store, starting with my handmade cutlery wraps and a small collection of other brands.
Since then, the shop has grown and evolved in ways I never could have anticipated, including the addition of Japanese goods that have become a meaningful part of our identity.
Finding Purpose in the Everyday
Today, I get to surround myself with beautiful things, support thoughtful makers, and help people find goods that bring joy into their everyday lives. I feel incredibly fortunate to do work that aligns with my values and gives me a sense of purpose.
Pink Moon Goods is about more than the things we sell. Through our products, stories, and blog, we hope to inspire more intentional choices, share the traditions behind everyday goods, and explore small ways we can make the world a better place.
I will never grow tired of seeing someone's face light up when they discover something special in our shop. Those moments remind me why I started this journey in the first place.
Thank you for trusting me, supporting our small business, and being part of this mission.
Together, we are Pink Moon Goods.
