trove [trohv] noun
1. a collection of objects.
2. a great local store!
Trohv is one of the fun shops on a street a few blocks from where I live, and it is indeed a treasure trove of fun items for the house. They are quirky without being too far out and have such a wide range of things that it’s hard to leave there empty-handed. A couple of people from the staff went up to Brimfield for a buying trip in September and came back with some unique items.
But for now, they’re gearing up for the holidays and when you enter the store, you see that they’ve prepped well!
Lots of fun food and candy,
beautiful balls for hanging on the tree,
elves and santas,
winter scenes,
and local interest items.
They have a collection of stuffed animals,
of all types,
including this dog, who may replace Connor if he’s not good!
I had to laugh at their collection of wood-grained items, especially this wrapping paper,
and these cookie cutters!
Trohv also has a great selection of books, such as this Liberty of London sewing book, which had some great ideas,
and a personal favorite, Mary Randolph Carter’s For the Love of Old.
Trohv has locations in Hampden in Baltimore and in Takoma Park on the Maryland/Washington, DC border. 921 W. 36th Street, Hampden www.trohvshop.com
