Treasure Trove

I was driving home up Gilman the other day and I noticed a new store near the Smith and Hawken Outlet. It's called Trove. The banner outside said "Premium Home Outlet Shopping." Say no more!

I finally got a chance to go in there today sans children. I have to say it's pretty cool. Check out the product. The prices are IKEA-like. I might do some Xmas shopping here. Among the highlights was a foot-long glass tube, about 3" in diameter that held four single flowers. 9 bucks! Would make a very nice gift. Most of the red and white vases were 9-20 dollars. They have lots of lab glass if you are into that sort of thing (10-40 bucks)

I think I will be stopping by there often. 1310 Tenth at Gilman in Berkeley. 510-525-7991.
