The Art of Modern Print Publications

Print publications are folding left and right in this digital age (pun not intended however perfect). But while everyone and their mother now has a blog, there are talented photographers and writers creating gorgeous, more modern magazines. Driftless is one such example.

The brainchild of three passionate and talented women, this ad-free, indie publication highlights the food, art and culture of the Midwest. With expertly curated content, the full color issues are printed biannually and are chock full of stories, illustrations, swoon-worthy photography and design, interviews, recipes and comprehensive guides for adventurers. 

We are terribly excited to be the first stockist in Northeast Indiana to carry Driftless. We love their passion for stunning imagery, modern, minimalistic aesthetic and commitment to the art of storytelling. We're inspired by their love of this slice of America and we're proud to support Driftless as they show the world that where we call home is not just flyover country.

We just know you'll love to explore the beautiful Midwest through their lens. Pick up the latest copy of Driftless at The Trove. Want to learn more about Driftless? Click HERE.

Deck the Halls

At The Trove, we LIVE for the festive holidays of Winter. There's nothing that warms the home quite like the scent of fresh evergreens, twinkle lights, shimmering ornaments and special tableware. Because we're so passionate about these wonderful things, we make sure to stock the store with all kinds of holiday goodies. From luxurious candles to cozy plaid blankets, swing by the shop and feather your nest for the holidays and the long Winter stretching before us... 

FOR HIM

Yes, we know we pack a lot in for the ladies but we pride ourselves on stocking plenty of stylish gift options for the gents. From chic barware we're confident 007 himself would love to cool travel accessories to effective, anything but boring skincare (and much more in between), we have every kind of fellow covered.

Better yet, bring your man to our December Happy Hour on the 10th so he can scope out a few faves and make it easy on you already!

#ShopSmallSelfie Contest

We had an absolute blast celebrating Small Business Saturday last weekend. Our store in Roanoke was packed, as was our downtown Fort Wayne pop up shop at The City Exchange. We were beyond excited to see so many happy shoppers supporting small stores, brands and artisans. It made our entrepreneurial spirits soar!

We hosted a fun giveaway of locally made products featuring Best Boy & Co., Hedgehog Press, FoxSea Skin, Second Chance Farms and Melani Wilson Designs. The lucky winner was Renee Densel, who posted a picture of her pretty, newly monogrammed (in-house by A+D Monogramming) S'well bottle! 

Congrats, Renee! Thanks for shopping small!

Cozy & Comfy Gifts for the Holidays

The Roanoke Holiday Gift Extravaganza is coming up this weekend and there'll be so much fun to be had in #thenoke. From complimentary horse-drawn carriage rides, courtesy of Joseph Decuis, to specials in many of the boutiques and gobs of delicious vittles from the restaurants and bakeries, you'll be so happy to kick off your holiday shopping in our little corner of Indiana.  

At The Trove, we'll have TONS of new merchandise as well as holiday trims and hostess gifts for your upcoming celebrations. In our gorgeous barn (if we may say so ourselves) we'll be featuring two local brands known for their oh-so-soft and cushy, cute goods. 

KIND uses cashmere and merino wool to create one of a kind gifts, toys and accessories while Two Elle's creates unique cuddly dolls and Tooth Fairy pillows. 

Spend this Saturday in #thenoke and come see us in that gorgeous barn we're always going on and on about...

Trunk Show Treasures

We Trovesters love a good trunk show because these special, fun events allow us to share even more greatness with our priceless customers. While we typically like to space them out over the calendar, in the spirit of elegant excess, we decided to gather some of the most chic jewelry brands in all the land to help us celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of The Trove! And because we just adore all of you, here's a sneak peek at just some of the baubles you'll find in store.

Come clink glasses with us on November 5th! Click here for more details about our Anniversary Happy Hour Bash!

A Love Letter to Roanoke

Hometown pride? We've got it. Roanoke is a pretty special place and it just keeps getting better and better. We're blissfully happy to be part of such a wonderful and charming community. With each new business, and family for that matter, that decides to put down roots here, our tiny town gets an immeasurable boost.

We Trovesters felt the true spirit of Roanoke and its people this summer after a crazy storm blew through town and left many streets, businesses and homes flooded. In the storm's wake, shop owners and friends like Valerie Powers, of Powers of One yoga studio, the Lions Club and so many others (who had their own catastrophes to deal with) strapped on mud boots and work gloves and tirelessly worked throughout the day to bail out their neighbors. Others offered food, water, fans (ahem, Angie Chafee!) as well as emotional support. It's that small town charm and family feel that gives Roanoke its appeal, even as the town continues to grow. This flood made us Trovesters proud to be part of Roanoke and its group of merchants. 

Our beloved barn suffered a bit of damage in this Summer's flood but we were back up and running in no time, thanks to so many friends and neighbors.

Take a walk down Main Street and you'll see pretty, seasonal flower baskets, Grandpa and Grandma Sue selling their pies and noodles, antique shops filled with vintage curiosities and boutiques that bring so much style to our little slice of Indiana. And if you're hungry? You're in such luck! Lunch options have expanded with the new (and stunningly gorgeous) location of La Dolce Vita, now offering gourmet lunches on Wednesdays. The Emporium has added new salads and other vegetarian options while the Village Inn, known for hearty American pub fare, got an interior makeover. Still want to channel Summer? Moose & Mollies' tasty gelato will do the trick. The latest delicious biz on the block is Proper Pastry which offers pretty little French macarons, freshly baked croissants, breads, cupcakes and savory baked goods.

We could go on and on about how great #thenoke is but why don't you just come spend a day and see for yourself? There are so many great events each season in Roanoke. Follow the above businesses on Facebook, sign up for our e-newsletters and keep an eye on our events page to stay in the know. Should you decide to spend a little more time with us, lay your head down at The Inn at Joseph Decuis or the North End boutique hotel (they take the word boutique seriously - they have a well stocked women's clothing and accessory boutique on the ground floor).

Roanoke, we are head over heels in love with you!

xo,

The Trove
