So after I posted the other day saying I’m open all Sundays and Mondays through August I realised that I actually already had plans this weekend 🙈🤣 I’m still open all my normal hours Tuesday to Saturday and a few ‘shopkeeper weekends’ sprinkled in as a cheeky bonus!

The vegan pick ‘n’ mix sweets have been topped up yet again! They’re flying out this summer holiday 🍬💨

And don’t worry if you’re not vegan or put off by the word, I promise they won’t kill you 😆 a flat £1.50 per 100g and you can literally pick and mix exactly which sweets and marshmallows you want to snack on!

Which are your favourite sweets from the shop?

Tare & Tide isn’t your average shop name, but it’s also not your average shop! It’s a community, it’s a lifestyle, it’s a bit seaside, and it’s a lot of me! 🦞🌊🐋

A Monday morning shout out to all my amazing customers 🫶 thank you! I don’t call myself a zero waste shop, I strongly disagree with the term tbh! It places an unattainable and extreme pressure on people which can lead to guilt and climate anxiety.

Tare&Tide is very much about positivity, inclusivity, and smashing down the elitism and ‘holier than thou’ attitudes that can be really off putting.

You’re doing brilliantly, keep it up 🙌

Lionel and Linda went on a cute little date to the creek a little while ago and now they’re back in stock said it was ok to share the pics!

Amazing large papercraft lobsters that can be made in either colour, only £12, flat for easy postage, and you can even mount them on your wall!

There’s also lots of other lobster themed goodies upstairs in the shop too! Tea towels from LIGA, and greeting cards hand printed by myself!

Summer colour is here at Tare & Tide on Lower Middle Street (just up from Piccolo Cafe and World of Bears if you’re yet to visit!) showing that living sustainably doesn’t have to mean drab or dull!

Two floors packed with plastic-free essentials, refills, homewares, gifts and even pick’n’mix sweets. Now open 7 days a week for August! Hope to see you soon, thanks, Tim x

There’s been a lovely top up today from the wonderful ReSpiin of bowls, placemats, coasters and home decor 🤩 all made responsibly and sustainably from materials such as jute and seagrass. Gorgeously tactile, multi-functional and tbh just pretty!
