Oh the lovely vintage treasures and charming Christmas decor inspiration to be found at Trove-Vintage! Trove is a favorite shop of mine which has a presence online as well as inside Vintage Bliss in Beloit, WI. You may recall peeks of my trips to their former shop where my boyfriends (Westie shop dogs Angus and Alistair) mingled amid the merry. I also couldn’t resist throwing in a good measure of humor quotes because LAUGHTER IS MEDICINE! Behold: Colorful Vintage Christmas Decor, Shop Dogs & Giant Jingle Bells Along With Quotes Now!

Trove-Vintage for Holiday Decor
Sisters Elizabeth and Mary opened a gem of a vintage goods store Trove in 2016 (Rockford, IL) in the old Bloom’s Candy Store. Bloom’s held all sorts of sweet memories for the sisters since it was located around the corner from their childhood home.
(I also have fond memories of the penny candy store, The Candy Jar, near my childhood home in St. Charles…how ’bout you?)
In fact, Trove used to be a hop, skip, and a jump from Urban Farmgirl, which we peeked at RIGHT HERE.

Vintage Goods, Decor & Gift Ideas
Trove is magical around the holidays. Primitive pieces and unique objects mingle with nostalgia and luscious colors that feel like a warm hug.
If you are the “nesting type,” appreciate one of a kind finds, and admire a rustic refined look for home interiors, this place would tug at your heartstrings.
Festive Shop Dogs!
You cannot miss the delightfully dapper Westies who run the place!

These darling West Highland White Terrier pups outfitted in tartan bring smiles to everyone including this fairie on the prairie.
Green Cupboard Glory!
This circa 1860’s primitive cupboard with its 15 drawers, three doors, and four shelves, was original to the Dunham family farmhouse in Wayne, IL. The chippy green paint is stunning and perfectly patina-ed.
We Pause for: Holiday Baking!
I bake all year round and fell for this elf-like baker of yum. If you have ever binge watched Food Network’s Holiday Baking Championship, you may remember when in 2016 (Season 3) home baker Jason Smith was crowned the champion. The Kentucky native stole every scene with his Southern banter and low key quirky goodness. He went on to win an even grander title: Food Network Star, and he makes appearances where he shares delicious ideas beyond baking like this one which anyone could throw together.
He is so entertaining to watch, and I love learning baking, pastry, and entertaining tips from contestants along the way. Here’s Jason with Rachel and Emeril (SCOOPY-DOO…so much lingo and technique to learn…hahahahaha.)

Don’t you love their style!?! And those Westies are the sweetest things ever. Thanks for reading.
Michele,
I agree, Thanksgiving was so close to Christmas that I am still trying to decorate. I hope to be done by tomorrow. I love shops like that one. Those dogs are just too precious for words. We don’t have any shops like that here, I wish.
I am also trying to remember the reason for the season and focus on that.
I hope this finds you well.
Have a lovely week.
Hugs,
Bev

Great to hear from you, Bev. No one is feeling good about the holidays getting bunched up this year. Yes, you’d love Trove, and I’m so happy there are still shop owners who go the extra mile and bring their well dressed pups to work. Wishing you peace across the miles.
Thank you for sharing at #ThursdayFavoriteThings. Pinned and shared. Have a lovely week. I hope to see you at next week’s party too! Happy Holiday!

Hi Emily! Thanks so much for tuning in – I have to catch up on your feed to see all the holiday loveliness! Peace to you.
What a great shop. The best accessories are those two precious pups. One of my closest friends
had a Westie named Mc Kenzie. She was such a great dog.
Author
Yes indeed. Awww – McKenzie is such a perfect name for a Westie. Thanks for reading. 🙂
Please tell me where you got your precious Westies’ harness. I have a Scottie.

Hi there – When I asked the owner about them, she said she bought them years ago and no longer available. But have you seen these? https://rstyle.me/+vTvhKDgb8U_iDJq-JxB39g
You crack me up – I’m guessing you make these quotes up and they are funny and genious ! . Aside from the Westie love , I’m lovin’ it ….Thanks for sharing that.

I make some of them up but usually I pay attention to what’s out there and try to improve on the idea or make it funnier! Thanks for humoring for me and playing along! xox
I have a Westie. Do you sell the wonderful sweaters and vests your dogs are wearing. I love them!

How wonderful! I don’t sell them but I try to keep an eye out for them since readers often ask about them for their pets. Here’s a cute option: https://rstyle.me/+Af7Ma_wIISJTKyoym1ym5Q
