We’re longtime fans of Coral & Tusk, a line of textiles featuring hand-drawn illustrations and delicate embroidery. Designer Stephanie Housley has created heirloom quality pillows, stuffed animals, tableware and gifts, featuring delicate metallic threads, whimsical characters and a dreamy color palette. The new designs for Fall/Winter will bring beauty, warmth and texture to your home, and the holiday collection of table textiles and decor accents make for tasteful, chic gifts.
Our Cups Runneth Over
We're stocked with the most charming, funny and/or stylish drinking vessels for every taste and...taste. We believe morning coffee is better out of a cheeky mug, and an evening cocktail better out of a gorgeous highball.
We also love gifting wine, beer, fine mixers or freshly pressed juices with the appropriate glassware for birthdays, when visiting friends or as part of a gift exchange during the holidays. Our mugs perfectly pair with locally roasted beans and a package (or three) of Wild Ophelia Cold Brew chocolates, or high quality herbal teas and a tea towel.
Shop our picks for an added dose of style for the tabletop.
Shop our Bar and Home Goods sections online or come into the store for our full collection of drinking vessels!
Summer Refresh
We love our barn so much, we like to brag about it from time to tome. And let's face it, she's a charmer! While we spend a lot of time focused on the main store, we decided it was high time we spent some QT inside the barn, so we've been hard at work in our slice of #thenoke, With fresh eyes, updated goods as well as updated plans for more interactive events, we're quite happy with the results, and we're confident you will be too.
Our rearranging and refreshing has made the space more functional for shopping as well as workshopping. We'll have a few more hands-on events and classes rounding out the summer and early autumn, and we can't wait to host our crafty guests in our updated digs.
The barn is home to a fresh supply of indoor and outdoor garden accents, candles and gorgeous vessels. Sometimes the smallest details end up making the biggest impact.
Come in, check out all the newness and get inspired to do the same in your own home. It's amazing what a few edits, and perhaps a couple of new additions, can do to a space...
Plant Lady Crazy
Our love for plants continues to grow (ba dum, ching!) and we can't help but stock the store with beautiful vessels, accessories and sweet little plant babies (from time to time).*
From floral prints on clothing, water bottles, art prints and calendars to the real thing in beautiful vases, on wall hangings, and infused into skincare products, we're plant lady crazy.
Calling all Plant Ladies, come shop in #thenoke!
* If you're searching for some beautiful little plants, shop our friends at Fancy & Staple in #DTFW for air plants, succulents and more!
Swells of Summer
New Swell styles have arrived, just in time for summer picnics, adventures and parties al fresco!
We adore all our Swell bottles, due to their ability to keep hot things hot for 12 hours, cold things cold for 24 hours, and all while remaining comfortable to the touch, thanks to triple walled construction.
In addition to the classic style and sizes, the company continuously introduces new models, like tumblers and travelers, as well as corresponding accessories. The latest launch is the Roamer, in 40 oz and 64 oz options. Meant for holding sharable liquids (we're thinking of our favorite IPA right now), this style is an elegant take on the growler, and pairs perfectly with the small tumblers. The Roamer also has a handle that can be clipped to backpacks, kayaks, bikes and the like, with the carabiner of your choice, making it a handy addition to every outdoor excursion.
Sip by Swell offers a more casual, cheerful take on the company's more classic bottle styles, letting personalities shine through with wide array of playful prints and bold color options. The Sip bottles hold 15 oz, hot and cold, are double-walled, and feature leak-proof cap. We're particularly smitten with the adorable donut print style the company calls Frosted, because, well, donuts.
Start prepping for summer and shop all our Swell styles. They make for great grad and dad gifts, as well!
Chilewich, Why We Obsess
Used by some of the finest restaurants in the world, Chilewich is an obsession-worthy brand and here's why:
Chilewich offers fashionable placemats and runners in every texture, size, weave and color under the sun, so you'll have no problem finding a style to perfectly complement your decor. While we're fans of neutrals (shocking, we know), the saturated spectrum of colors is dizzying and we want. them. all.
Chilewich placemats and runners are so thin, place settings and stemware sit evenly on the surface so they make setting a beautiful table an absolute dream. Let's take a moment of silence to mourn the loss of previously shattered glasses and goblets...
Chilewich's floor mats are also low-profile, so your door will never catch on the pile, and they won't cause furniture and lighting to tip or teeter.
Perhaps the best part, all Chilewich placemats, runners and floor mats can be easily rinsed or hosed off, rather than laundered, making these pieces a practical, durable and good looking home textile option.
You simply must come in to see and feel these gems for yourself. Come obsess with us...
Have a Swell Summer
We Trovesters are dedicated S'well enthusiasts. We're in love with the function of these bottles (they keep liquids hot for 12 hours or cold for 24!) but we'd be lying if we said we weren't head over heels with the look of these beauties. Sleek and stylish, and perfectly sized, we consider our S'well bottles a worthy fashion accessory.
As if we couldn't love them enough already, we came across this article online about the 30 Unhealthiest Drinks on the Planet. While we're encouraged to stay hydrated throughout each day, those ubiquitous plastic bottles are not only terrible for our planet but also for our bodies, as it turns out.
“The water isn’t the problem here; it’s the BPA in the bottle. BPA is a hormone-mimicking chemical found in nearly all food packaging plastics, and it’s potentially bad news. According to some pools of research, the chemical may promote cancer and render people infertile. To stay hydrated on the go, buy a BPA-free refillable bottle. We’re big fans of S’well bottles, which come in a wide array of fashionable patterns and color pallets.”
Perfectly suited for all your adventures...
S'well bottles are the ideal accessory for beach, lake and pool, as well as all your expeditions and travels. Seriously, our S'well bottle is the item we don't leave home without.
Home, office and on the go...
We pour our morning coffee into a S'well, instead of a mug these days. Our mid-morning, lunchtime and afternoon coffees, too.
Packing up for a picnic? The 25 oz holds a full bottle of wine. #justsaying
Even in a hot (or cold) car, your liquids will stay at the perfect temperature all day.

Introducing Our New Trovester, Jodi Golm!
Meet Jodi...
and help us welcome her to The Trove!
Jodi Golm spent years in the marketing department of a Fortune 500 company. Tired of near-constant work travel, she decided to make a switch so she could spend more time with her family. A lifelong devotee of home design and decor, Jodi started working as a designer for a local builder in August of 2010 and hasn't looked back.
In her work for Timberlin Homes, Jodi focuses on thoughtfully designed elements, using reclaimed materials and interesting, unique details that reflect each client's taste. From rustic barn beams and shiplap to traditional tile and brick, Jodi is passionate about providing a bespoke vibe for every space and taste.
Jodi's approach to design is all about layering. Expertly mixing styles and elements makes a well-designed house a home. "My favorite look is when nothing is purely one thing or another - a little bit farmhouse with a little industrial, vintage and antique with new. I love neutrals and prefer texture over color and tend to favor muted tones found in nature, layering them together for that much-needed pop."
When The Trove opened, Jodi "was so excited to find a place where people who love Anthropologie, Terrain and Magnolia Home could shop locally. I've been a fan of The Trove since minute one, so I'm honored to now be part of it!"
Jodi will be bringing her signature style to #thenoke with finds from antique and vintage markets from the Midwest to Texas, and is always on the hunt for a great architectural piece. The perk of adding Jodi to The Trove mix is that since she's a designer, she can help shoppers pull together their home's look or assist in sourcing complementary pieces.
Take a peek at just a few of the items Jodi will be bringing to The Trove Barn...
Jodi and her family are currently building their forever home on Fort Wayne's north side. She says it's been interesting to be on the other side of the Timberlin building experience, which has given her an enhanced perspective for her client work. Jodi and her husband, both Fort Wayne natives, enjoy traveling, their church and school communities and driving their two busy daughters to all their activities.
Swing into #thenoke and say hello to Jodi. We're beyond thrilled to have her on Team Trove!
