Spring is finally here on the west coast – Hallelujah! The flowers are blooming, and my sandals have come out of hiding (it’s still a bit cold for naked toes, but if the sun’s making an effort, so can I!)
I realize yet again that I have checked out of blog land for a while, but with the season packed full of lovely weddings, I have been busy collecting and planning, not to mention we have some major renovations starting on our home that leaves everything a little crazy. Instead of finding a storage spot that would suffice, we have decided to build one instead! Soon enough our property will contain a large shop and studio for anyone wanting a preview on the goods. I’ll make sure to keep posting the progress for this big project 
We have lots of new treasures that I’ll be getting up on the site soon, but I’ll leave you today with a little refinishing project I’ve been working on that will be making an appearance in an upcoming styled shoot…
Those of course are the “before” photos with dated fabric and worn out insides, but with a little love (teak oil) and care (gorgeous gray linen upholstery), I was able to give a new life to these vintage chairs, and they are now quite the good-looking couple, if I do say so myself!
Hope everyone has a fantabulous weekend! xo ~ Jessica
It has been a beautiful couple of days here in the lower mainland, and my fingers are crossed that this glimps of spring will hang around for a bit longer. Because of the sunshine, I was able to snap a few photos of some Trove goodies. A few pieces have been added to the inventory, but I couldn’t resist spotlighting this super cute find…
I stared at this piece for a while before taking a picture, wishing I was out cruising around on it at a park, but as I am trying to make a strong effort at crossing of most of my to-do’s before the end of the week, it’ll have to wait for another sunny day.
This is a perfect piece for engagement or bridal photos, and makes for a pretty prop adorned with flowers too!
Take a look at some of the newest additions to the Trove Collection. I just love discovering new treasures! The upcoming season is booking up fast so contact us now if you’re looking for something unique to add to your decor.
Happy February everyone! I love February. That may have something to do with it being my birthday this month, but there are other reasons. Usually February is when we start to get a bit of a peek into spring after a long, cold and wet winter. Even as I write this, the sun is trying to poke his head out from behind the clouds. February also holds a special landmark for Trove as it is about a year ago that we officially started this business. And then there is the “holiday” of February – Valentine’s Day. I wouldn’t say that Valentine’s day is my favorite celebration of the year, but I do enjoy an extra excuse to have a fun date night with the hubby as well as feed my heavy chocolate addiction. With Trove being a part of the Wedding Industry, we get to celebrate a lot of love throughout the year, and we wanted to do something special for our supporters on the universal “love day”… so we’re doing a giveaway!
Up for grabs is this Vintage Valentine’s Box with some cute and delicious goodies. What’s inside: A gorgeous silver plate, a sweet handkerchief with pink trim, an antique “love” spoon marker (great for house plants), a lovely skeleton key, and a beautiful tea cup and saucer that has been crafted into an eco friendly candle (smells tasty too). Oh, and let’s not forget the delightful box of handcrafted chocolates from ChocolaTas.
This contest is open to everyone no matter if you’re spending your V day with a sweetheart, best friends, or a good book and bubble bath. The contest is open from February 1st – 10th. All you have to do is go to our Facebook page and “Like” us (if you already do then you’re already in). Share our giveaway post on your own page for another chance to enter. We’ll be announcing the winner on Saturday February 11th. Good Luck! ~Jessica
Pick Of the week
Ok, so it should be more like pick of the month with the rate I’m going at, but believe me – if I wasn’t so dependent on using the natural light outdoors, it would be a lot easier to keep up. Last week was a snowy one, and today seems as though you could drown as soon as you step out of the house. I miss Summer.
To rebel against these dreary gray skies, I am going to share some new members of the Trove collection that aren’t scared to show a little colour!
Meet Lucy the royal blue loveseat and matching chair. These pieces look stunning in a neutral setting to give a punch of colour, but if you’re not afraid to go bright, spice them up with accent colours of red, coral or yellow.
With Valentine’s Day less than a month away, I just had to add a photo of this little beauty – Amora the cherry red chair. With a name that means “love” and a colour that matches, this is a perfect piece for a sweetheart photo shoot or, if you dare, perhaps a boudoir session.
I have more treasures to share so make sure to check back if you are planning a wedding or event and need a little vintage love
