Full of "Old World" ambience,  Thyme and Times Past has a charming collection of  vintage, antique and eclectic gifts.  With a focus on tradition and handmade folk art, owner Lynda Brown has accumulated a beautiful assortment of textiles in particular such as  Irish linen tableclothes of varying sizes and designs, some with matching napkins, which can add an air of elegance to your home.  There are vintage 50s style cotton tableclothes which are less formal . For the more modern decors French Provencial and Indian cotton tableclothes are available. Many traditional hand-made textiles  from India, Peru, Guatemala, Ecuador, France and Thailand are available that have been made into clothing and linens.

 This website is full of English bone china cups and saucers, teapots, plates and accessories. Our English Brown Betty teapot collection includes large and small ones from 1910 through to the present. Loose leaf teas from around the world create a subtle fragrance that  mingles with that of French soaps and the old wood of the many antique cupboards, and tables where items are displayed creating a warm atmosphere.

Gardening: Spring and summer is the time to sell seeds and organic flowers and herbs suited to the city gardener. Expert advise is available for the novice from the knowledgeable staff for a successful gardening season. 

  Our website will continue the tradition established by our original Ottawa location which is now closed. In 2012 it is our plan to relocate to Prince Edward County on Lake Ontario. Just as our Ottawa store drew repeat customers from all over the world we hope that they will follow us to one of the loveliest places in rural Ontario.The common interests of repeat customers bring them back to seek out interesting and unique items that aren't available anywhere else.
