A couple of weeks ago I visited Matlock for a spot of Christmas shopping. I've heard there is so many lovely shops to visit and I wasn't disappointed.
Here's a quick round up of the quirky independent shops I came across.
This little gem of a store sells vintage retro home decor, over two floors. There vinyl collection is well worth a look if you're a music lover. The staff with super helpful which is always a bonus, they pointed me in the right direction to find all the other shops I wanted to visit on my list.
I've heard so many fantastic things about this place, check out there IG, you'll be hooked! The Christmas window display is absolutely stunning, a mixture of a vintage dining room setting with handmade snowflakes and tasteful taxidermy. Instead the store is set out beautifully - I was like a kid in a sweet shop. I could have walked out with everything. A great place to visit for vintage home & wedding gifts. I will definitely be returning soon.
Riverside Vintage - 77 Dale Road, Matlock DE4 3LT
A delightful boutique selling some bloomin' lovely vintage china pieces. I couldn't resist purchasing some lovely vintage china dinner plates - which will be upcycled to make one off clocks in 2015.
Oh my goodness, this place is like an Aladdin's cave, three floors full of antiques, vintage & retro finds. I spent over an hour having a good rummage. There's definitely something for everyone in here.
A small but amazing little store is Us Retro. Full of lots of retro finds including advertising, kitchenware, pottery & my favorite - the vast collection of rustic food crates. A couple of these made there way home with me. They will look fantastic in the yarden with some spring bulbs.
Matlock you definitely will be on my places to visit again soon, has anyone else been recently?
