Sisters... many shared traits and charms but each with their own personality. The same is true of The Trove and our sister store, The FIND. While we do share some of the same brands and products, we also take great care in curating a unique selection of goods for each store. If you haven't shopped The FIND recently, now's the time to swing in to #DTFW, which is beautifully decorated and sparkling for the season.
Bring your receipt from The Trove to The FIND to receive 30% off one item (excluding Barefoot Dreams and Ambre). Did we mention this works the other way around, too? What we're saying is, come shop both sisters!
Gals About Town
We Trovesters love to throw cool soirees, but sometimes we're more thrilled just to be guests. We're happy to say we're buds with so many fine Indiana ladies. From fellow boutique owners to bloggers, photographers and various other creatives, we can't think of anything better than supporting all the #girlbosses we call friends. Through the work of a handful of these fab ladies, part of our team ended up as guests at a wonderful, beautiful event, one with meaning, hosted by the phenomenal Photanical ladies, Eden and Ruth.
In an effort to help fellow women in need, Photanical harnessed local companies Yummi Bunni, Fancy & Staple, Idlehour and Lace & Arrow into a philanthropic super group for their first ever installment of their brand spanking new #flightfulfw series. Yummi Bunni passed out delicious ice cream floats and guests made flower arrangements, courtesy of Fresh Thyme and Nicole Funk, to give to their fav-o-rite Galentine. The price of the ticket went to providing feminine care products for the women who reside in The Courtyard, an apartment community for those aging out of foster care, or at risk of becoming homeless.
It felt great to band together with women to help women, and to have such a beautiful (and tasty) time doing it. As one Trovester said, "It was like Lilith Fair, but without all the angst."

Blessings
We Trovesters strive to be charitable throughout the year and are dedicated to spreading as much love around as possible. One of our favorite organizations is Blessings in a Backpack, a nonprofit that feeds elementary age children in Allen County, on the weekends during the school year. Without the assistance from this program, many of these children would go hungry over the weekend, with little to no food from Friday afternoon dismissal until Monday morning, when school is back in session. The thought of hungry children, right here in our community, is too much to bear, which is why we are fervent supporters of this dedicated organization.
We will always help to support this fine organization but this year, we're making it easier for you to help out, too! At The Trove and The FIND, we're stocking this delightful Santa poster, illustrated by architect, artist and co-founder of Blessings in a Backpack, Mike Gouloff. The poster is $10, with 100% of the proceeds going to Blessings in a Backpack, and the sale of each will feed about 4 children for a weekend.
The poster makes for a lovely and charming gift for friends, family or yourself! And, the recipient will be doubly cheered when they know how the gift helped to fill the bellies of less fortunate children in our community.
Wishing you and yours the most beautiful of blessings during this festive holiday season!

Sister Act
“Sisters are different flowers from the same garden.”
The Trove was born out of friendship and a mutual passion for creating and sharing beautiful things. We have a deep love for our little slice of Roanoke and the town's oh-so-charming Main Street. We wax poetically about our enchanting barn and live for the Summer Friday night street fairs that bring hundreds of people to #thenoke. If you'd like to read more on our fondness for Roanoke, check out our Love Letter to Roanoke from September 2015.
All good things must grow and thus our latest development came after a few meetings with another friend, Libby Ash. We are simply overjoyed about the opening of our sister store, The FIND, located within the sparkling Ash Skyline Plaza. We're honored to be among the burgeoning lifestyle scene of the great city of Fort Wayne and are excited to see what else is in store for its continued growth. To read more about The FIND's origin story, take a peek at its brand spanking new website.

Finally, we are absolutely tickled about our Western expansion with The Trove West in Big Sky, Montana! We're over the moon for Trovester Kate and her plans to supply her beloved Big Sky with the chicest goods around.
Please join us at The FIND for our Grand Opening on June 1st! And, once we know the opening date for our new digs in Big Sky, we'll let you know so you can make travel arrangements. We just know you won't want to miss a thing!
