Direct From Big Sky Country

When Trovester Kate opened up The Trove West in her cherished Big Sky, Montana, we were thrilled - not only for her, but also for the treasures she'd find and inevitably share with us here in the Midwest. While she takes some of our Indiana gems out west, she also brings back indie designers and brands we wouldn't otherwise have access to. Scroll through Kate's latest finds to hit #thenoke from Big Sky Country...

Allison Kallaway Jewelry

Spotted at an area market, Kate instantly knew jewelry by local designer Allison Kallaway would be a hit at Trove West and at the mother ship. Known for her strong metalsmithing skills, the designer found inspiration while working for the Peace Corps as an Art Educator in Botswana. Her modern industrial style includes myriad African design elements influenced by her travels.

Blue Moose Metals

Found at a gift show in Billings, Montana, Kate fell in love with these laser cut, hand finished, metal bottle openers, inspired by nature. These functional tools are attractive and comfortable to hold, and the magnetized back means it'll always be within reach. Blue Moose Metals bottle openers make for great gifts for the beer lovers on your list.

Dandy Jewelry

Kate discovered Dandy Jewelry, by artist and designer Andrea Lithgow, at a gift show in Las Vegas. This New Orleans, LA line is the product of childhood crafting. With a love of texture, color and patterns, Lithgow eventually started working with clay, developing one-of-a-kind glazing effects that have become her signature look.

Montana Leather Designs

Montana Leather Designs is a popular and nationally recognized leather brand that Kate enjoys giving as gifts. The fun and colorful leather bracelets are paired with silver plated zinc or pewter beads and clasps and everything is crafted in designer Olive Parker's western Montana studio.

Neighbors in #thenoke: Paper Moon

paper moon roanoke

We adore the spirit and vibe of Roanoke and count our fellow merchants as both friends and partners in the continued growth of the town. As charming as the classic song by the same name, Paper Moon in Roanoke is one of the town's most beloved shops. Located just down the street and around the corner from us, this darling shop stocks goods both old and new. On the first floor, you'll find the softest stuffed animals, toys (both vintage and new) and baby keepsakes, books, greeting cards and other paper goods, jewelry, accessories and home decor accents. The second floor is home to a fantastically curated collection of vintage furniture.

Paper Moon is beautifully stocked for the holidays with the coveted bottle brush trees and other decor, gifts and stocking stuffers, ornaments, advent calendars and a lovely selection of wrapping paper and other accoutrements.

Owner Stephanie McKibben is one of #thenoke's most dedicated merchants, with not one but two businesses in town. Moose & Mollie's, just a hop and a skip across the street from Paper Moon, is our go-to spot for coffee drinks, light lunches, creamy gelato and candy (we're obsessed with the chocolate-covered gummy bears).

Next time you come see us in #thenoke, be sure to shop Paper Moon and grab a cuppa from Moose & Mollies!

Magnificent Mothers

75% of us Trovesters are moms and 100% of us have one, so we feel like we've got a lock on what moms of all ages and interests would like for Mother's Day - in addition to your undying love, of course. Some moms adore sparkling jewels and gorgeous fragrances, while others dig a super soft, flattering tee or a kickass tech accessory.

Take a peek at some of our picks, click through our online shop and come take a few laps in store to pick out the most perfect gift for the magnificent moms you love!

The Graduate

Graduation from high school and college is a magical time. Full of hope and promise, and a little bit of trepidation (most likely) this transitional time is made better by supportive friends and family.

While doling out wisdom, advice and tales of your own experiences, hand over a cool token to commemorate the happy occasion. Peep these popular, functional and stylish options below, handpicked to reflect the schools your grad may be leaving or headed towards, for extra thoughtfulness points. 

As always, there's a ton more in store and we're happy to help you find the most unique gift for your special grads.

Let Me Tell You 'Bout My Best Friend

We Trovesters are dog lovers (really, animal lovers) through and through! We love our pups and tend to spoil them rotten. So, we're happy to stock stylish accessories, funny necessities (anyone see our politically themed poop bags this year?) and other goodies for the dog-lovers themselves. 

What will your sweet pup find under the tree this year?

The 2016 Trove Gift Guide is here!

We Trovesters work all year to curate the greatest gifts for all holidays, events and life occasions, because gifting well is kind of our thing. We've done some of the heavy lifting for you by creating these guides to make checking off your gift list as easy as possible. As always, we have so much more in store. We're practically packed to the rafters with holiday decor, stocking stuffers and gifts for everyone on your list.

Happy Gifting!

 

 

Come wrap up (or start on, depending) all your holiday shopping at The Trove in charming Roanoke!

Sweet Child of Mine

Is there anything more delightful than shopping for tiny humans? Cushy fabrics, soft hues, adorable critters and a good dose of sparkle makes our job of sourcing such goodies a pure joy! We love to stock the shop with pieces that inspire magic and whimsy for baby and child...and adults, too. 

We know registries from big box stores are vital for new parents and kiddos (diaper pails, cribs and breast pumps, oh my!) but the extra, unique gifts and keepsakes from smaller, indie artisans and boutiques just can't be beat on cuteness. 

Come shop the most enchanting clothing, gifts, toys and accessories in all the land! 

We're So Flashy

We Trovesters are a tad unconventional. We quite like it that way. Instead of a traditional online shop (for now), we've created a new Instagram feed for you to love and shop with ease. Follow @trovestoreflash to snag some of our favorite goodies on sale --- with free shipping! We'll be regularly adding new merch so keep your eyes peeled to nab some sweet gems as they become available.

And, as if that's not enough, you can always find our latest and greatest merch on the House Account app. If you're not yet familiar with House Account, it's a fantastic way to shop indie boutiques, like The Trove, from all over the United States. House Account brings all the stylish goodness from these chic boutiques directly to your phone, which means snapping up your latest must-haves is a breeze. Download the app for iPhone here and for Android here and be sure to follow The Trove! 

In the meantime, here's a smidge of what we've been posting over on our flash feed so far...
