Welcome to Our Online Shop

We are so very happy to extend our store nationally, so now those of you who have been asking, “Do you ship?” The answer now is a resounding, “YES!”

This is our first post, so we’ll use up the space to tell you the purpose of this blog.

First, we’re sisters, Elizabeth and Mary.  We grew up with a love of antiques and all things vintage -- passed down from our grandmother and mother. We started Trove Vintage in a little shop in Rockford, IL, near the house we grew up in. We've since closed that shop and expanded to Chicago (Mary’s hometown for the past 25 years) and into a vintage cooperative in Beloit, WI, near Rockford, where Elizabeth still resides. Elizabeth is married to a Scotsman and has two Westies named Alistair and Angus. Mary resides in the Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago with her writer husband, 16-year-old son and recently rescued 8-year-old dog named Grady.

So what is this blog?

Well, we hope it’s a place where readers can come to see what’s new at Trove. It’s a place to open up discussions about how to incorporate vintage into your home. It’s about the relationship between two sisters who are running a business together (we’ve only gotten into one fight since we’ve opened, which is unbelievable for two girls who shared a room and stole each other’s clothes). It will be about dogs and kids and entertaining and shopping…

And it will give you design and decor tips.

We’re open to suggestions! Just email us at info@trove-vintage.com and let us what you want to know. And if we don’t know the answer, we’ll certainly try to find it for you!

Thanks for reading. And welcome to our blog!

Elizabeth & Mary
