looking for a plant

I saw a plant at a recent fair that I am trying to find. It was labeled Baby in a Basket, had a purple vine with violet colored tiny flowers. Can you help me

The closest plant that I can think of that fits the name is a plant called Moses in the cradle (Rhoeo spathacea - up right plant) & based on the description Tradescantia blossfeldiana - looks like "moses" but is vine with many lavender flowers. Hope this helps.
