Wandering through Ballard, Seattle’s indie paradise, I found a treasure trove. Literally, as, adorably, that’s the name of the shop – Trove.

It’s not just what’s for sale, but how it’s lovingly displayed. Of course, it was the rings-in-books display that caught my eye first ^, but as I browsed I became well-practiced in The Double Take – oh wait that sign is painted on a door! Oh wait those are mason jars suspended from the ceiling!

It’s the kind of game I play with Anthropologie – oh that’s pretty…oh, it’s a chandelier made out of pencils. CRAFTY. [no pun intended but I’m pretty proud of that one].

Let’s look at the above ^.  Put a frame on it and your wardrobe is art. How about we only buy and keep pieces that we love enough to frame?

^ Jewellery storage inspo.

Have what you love, but love what you have – the individual pieces at Trove are beautiful, but their beauty is enhanced by carefully arranged displays. Go slowly, and tumble through Trove’s secrets – in such a delicate wonderland things are not always as they seem. And isn’t that marvelous?
