Margie E.

“I always find unique item or fabric to design my home. Great place to buy things to start your new home.”

Dawn

Troost39 customer Dawn collects jewelry. Here are some vintage pieces she got at Troost39: they work beautifully as hair ornaments!

Angie S.

Customer Angie S. crafted and donated five darling Valentine’s baskets to Troost39!

Anna

Anna is rockin’ the faux fur vest she got at Troost39 today, but what we really love is her puppy dog slippers, and the statement she’s making with those sweat pants: “Love always wins.”

Dallas B.

“I like the variety of daily sales this store offers. There’s also a lot of new items put out daily. I’ve gotten a lot of cool stuff from here!”

Toni

Troost39 customer Toni created this crafty doll figurine using the blue vase (price: $1.00) she found at the Store. We just LOVE seeing what folks do with their Troost39 finds.

Pam

Troost39 customer Pam donated this vintage Brownie camera. Way back in the day, her father used the Brownie to capture the family portrait you see here. Thank you Pam, the portrait and the camera are just beautiful!

De'Ja

Here’s customer De’Ja showing off her 90’s style in a vintage t-shirt and mom jeans!

Nikki

Troost39 customer Nikki follows her faith in order to, in her words, “Do the right thing the right way.” Nikki bought this kitchen counter from T39, planning to give it a new counter top and install it in her home. When she realized she didn’t need it, she donated it back to the Store and asked us to give it away FREE to a customer in need. Nikki has also paid forward the delivery fee for this item, and has left a loving note for its new owner. Thank you, Nikki, for your loving generosity!
