Saturday, Sunday and Everyday...


David and Kim at Time After Time today - some great new Tweed jackets in (good colours) and a selection of Steampunk jewellery and our new vintage crockery area is going down a storm.

I have also added some Victorian pieces - a black shrug covered with jet, some piano shawls and a collection of cameos.

Meanwhile...back at the On Line Shop...

www.timeonlinedirect.com



Our date range is from around 1860 to the present day,  covering more than a century and a half of antique, vintage, retro and designer pieces

Each piece is hand-picked. We will not compromise on quality – so the pieces on sale are always in tip-top condition – whether Victorian, Edwardian or from now. Each and every gorgeous thing is ready to go!  And we’re affordable too! 

The shop is family owned and managed by Sandra, Dave & Toby Ireland who have been involved in the fashion industry since the 1960s.  (Toby since the late Noughties!)
Dave grew up surrounded by textiles. His mother Flossie was a spinner at Ebley Mill, Aunty Gwen a weaver at Stanley. Uncle Reg worked at Hill Paul and Aunty Doris and Uncle Bert moved from the Dursley Mills to the carpet industry of Kidderminster. Dave lived in a mill cottage under the shadow of Stanley Mill in Ryeford before taking a Fashion and Textiles degree at the Gloucestershire College of Art & Design. 
Sandra's mother was a tailoress, and the sound of a Singer whirring feverishly away was an ever-present feature of family life. Sandra is an illustrator and photographer with many books and publications under her very stylish vintage belt. Sandra curates the jewellery collections at Time After Time.
Life today revolves around the constant search for the fabulous.


We even have our own radio show on Stroud FM 107.9 and online on Sunday afternoons from 5-6 and Wednesday nights from 10-11. Listen live or online at anytime.

So when you visit Time After Time in  Stroud – take a little of of the past home with you…

Vintage Crocks - Something for the weekend...

Something for the weekend...

We're there now...

The screens have been removed, all traces of masking tape have gone, the smell of fresh paint is gradually fading and we're up early and stocking the shelves of our new vintage home-wares area.

There are quirky cake-stands (perfect for Sunday's vintage tea party) and complete tea sets. We have the maddest teapots, 50s cruets of the kitschest kind, tea-trays, jugs, bowls and so much more.














Plus all the fab stuff we have in store for St. Valentine's Day...






Downstairs we have set up a beautiful Valentine's Day window and there are some lovely pieces just perfect for him or her...





Upstairs there are some lovely vintage negligees and dressing gowns, and a new collection of Little Black Dresses...plus some fabulous tweeds for him (the ones for her are still downstairs...)


And if you're looking for mirrors or chandeliers or hat-pins...you know where to come.

Everything Including The Kitchen Sink...



Time After Time's Facebook Page


There was a 'Balsamic Moon' on Monday... I'd never heard the term before, but it is the quarter moon following a full moon. I looked out of the dormer window late last night, and there it was!

Yesterday saw us closing the second floor temporarily, while Widdy, our magic chippie (he also makes crystal wands) finished off the new area we have designated for homewares and kitchenwares.

The shelves are in, as is the beautiful marble sink we located at an antique fair on Sunday. All we need to do now is to paint everything, hang the chandeliers and Sandra can work her miracles of display and stock the area.

We have vintage tea sets, cake-stands, teapots, cups and saucers, coffee grinders and a whole range of yummy kitchenalia ready to go!

With the shop-front ready for a lick of paint in fresh Spring greens, we are looking forward to an exciting time.
