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."

Refresh and Revamp for 2017

Late last year, we started making plans for a revamp of The Trove; a makeover, if you will. After a handful of years in business, we felt it was time to shake things up, move things around, clear some space and make room for new obsessions. We're doing this in the digital realm as well, but that's a story for another time. 

We Trovesters have been busy bees this month, executing our carefully laid plans and coming up with new ideas on the fly. We've expanded our clothing category, given our fab selection of shoes a new, more shop-able display (look for a new outstanding summer line to be added here too!) and curated our massive jewelry selection into a dazzling array. Our ever-growing men's department, as well as our sweet and soft children's department, and our home and gift categories, received updates as well. Whew! 2017 is off to a very productive start.

Come shop the latest and greatest in clothing, accessories, home decor and gifts. And if you need extra incentive, we have two racks loaded with fantastic clothing at 50% off and a selection of shoes at 30% off!

You simply must come see us in #thenoke.

Chasing Slow

We Trovesters are head over heels in love with the oh so talented Erin Loechner. Her blog, Design for Mankind, has inspired us for years and now, she's given us a beautifully written book to obsess over. 

Who could have known that more would make us feel like less?
— Erin Loechner

Chasing Slow is a must-read for anyone feeling even remotely crushed by the excesses of modern life. Loechner's account of her journey from more, more, more to Chasing Slow is a delightful and engaging read and we just can't say enough good things about it (or her, quite frankly).

Loechner is an Indiana girl who is sweet, generous, kind and incredibly talented, and we're especially proud to call her a friend. We wish her nothing but joy and success as she launches her first (and please, please, please, not her last) book. 

We're beyond confident Chasing Slow is going to be the book of 2017.  We'll soon have autographed copies for sale at The Trove and sister store, The FIND, and a book signing party with Erin is in the works so stay tuned!

An Elegant Start to 2017!

We believe there's just nothing like writing with a beautiful ink pen on fine papers. What's more, resolutions, goals, dreams, whatever you want to call them, have more potential to stick if you put them down on paper. Kick off 2017 with a stylish new journal, notebook or calendar.

Come shop our collection of fine papers, beautiful, handmade pens and stylish desk calendars. Start 2017 as you mean to go on, with glamour!

Sayonara 2016!

We Trovesters are a passionate bunch. We never have a lack of plans, dreams, goals and wishes, and we keep pretty busy chasing after them throughout the year. Here are just a few of the things kicking around in our heads as we rocket towards the new year...

My greatest wish is for 2017 to be politics-free. I know that’s not realistic but wishes don’t have to be, right?
— Mark
So many resolutions, so little time!

1. To give a compliment to someone new each day.
2. To strive for better eyebrows!
3. To stress less about my kids’ rooms.
4. To volunteer more.
5. To try something new in Fort Wayne each month.
6. To spend more quality time with the people I love.
— Leslie
My resolution for 2017 is to be more passionate and involved in issues that matter to me, not just random volunteering.
— Kate
My goals are to remain optimistic, to read more, to spend as much time taking care of myself as much as I take care of other people and to stay open to possibilities.
— Melani

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?

Last Minute Gifts

If you're not quite finished with your holiday shopping, get thee to #thenoke! We have fab gifts for everyone, from slick barware and unique cook books to home fragrances and decor, to the most coveted S'well bottles (hot liquids stay hot for 12 hours, cold liquids stay cold for 24)! And, if you've ever been inside The Trove, you know we have SO! MUCH! MORE! in store. 

Swing in to The Trove and polish off your last minute list. We'll even help you out with tissue and bags for each of your gifts. Add a sprig of evergreen to the bag, clipped from your tree, perhaps, and you're good to go!

FYI: The Trove will be closing at 2pm on Saturday, December 24th.

NYE Prep

We know, it's not even Christmas Eve and we're already planning for New Year's Eve. But we take the year's biggest party kind of seriously, okay? 

We're prepping skin for a healthy sheen with decadent body oil by Little Barn Apothecary, getting our essentials in order and topping it all off with a luxurious dose of crushed velvet. 

NYE is the perfect time to shimmer and shine, no matter if you're hitting the town or toasting at home!

Shop with us before you finalize your New Year's Eve ensemble.

Glittering Jewels

We source gilded bits of loveliness from all corners of the planet, bringing them to our little slice of Roanoke. Our massive collection of jewelry features something for everyone (more like 73 various options for everyone). And, we happen to think the best presents come in the smallest of packages. 

Come pick up a piece or two (or 73) for the jewelry lovers on your gift list. We won't tell if you grab a piece for yourself while you're here...
