Time & Tide

This shop is one of my favourite homeware shops in the city. I absolutely love visiting because it is like stepping inside an instgram picture is it so perfectly styled.
It is the kind of shop that you could do in for ‘just a look’ and leave with a few hundred pounds worth of nik-​naks that you ‘NEED’
Although it does have a small selection of furniture in store — usually a sofa or two, a dining room table and a couple of feature chairs the store is made up mostly of what I would describe as ‘home accessories’ clocks, mirrors, cushions, throws, candle holders and lots of swoon worthy decorative goodies.
It is a pretty small shop and it is fairly full which always makes me a little nervous because I am not the most graceful of creatures… just a word of warning it is not really child friendly.
The staff are lovely and always make you feel welcome without putting any kind of sales pressure on you.
Great shop and definitely worth popping in if like me you love a pretty nik-​nak

The window displays are so beautiful here, it almost put me off because I was scared my ‘clumsiness’ would mean I would knock everything over!
Anyway, needed a mother’s day gift and I’m glad I went in. I was focussing on the unique candle scents, rhubarb and ginger or fig to name but a few, for the gift. These were so delicious I came away with one for mum and one for me.
Other things that caught my eye were the range of blankets/​throws and room diffusers.
Staff here are extremely helpful and friendly (none of the pouncing/​smothering approach some people go for) and a pleasure to do business with.
If you need something lovely… time and tide. (Even if you are clumsy!)

This gorgeous homewares shop opened about 5 months ago but somehow I’d completely missed it in this time. It’s got some really lovely bits and pieces — Glasgow road signs, vintage map wall art, luggage cases, Shetland wool blankets, chandeliers, furniture as well as wee decorative pieces. One of my favourite finds was a glass pineapple that has a silver coating and now sits on my lounge room table.
I didn’t realise but they also have a shop through in Edinburgh and an online store. With fantastic customer service and great, unusual pieces, I’ll definitely be popping in more often.
