This one goes out to all of you vintage lovers – we are popping by Gorgeous Gerties in Dorking
I visited Gorgeous Gerties in Dorking for the first time last week, and was so surprised to find such a wonderful vintage adventure in a town that I thought I knew inside out! Under their roof you will find a vintage tearoom, an olde world sweet shop, a beautiful collection of vintage jewellery, vintage accessories and vintage crockery – and on top of all this you can also sign up to their creative workshops and get your imagination and creativity going!
Lovely scarves and fabulous dressing gowns – of course in the romantic vintage rose pattern
You know when you are running through all the shops in London, trying to find a nice present for a friend’s child’s birthday, but everything looks exactly the same? Well, guess where I will be getting my pressies from now on?
The perfect dress for a little summer princess!
… with a very reasonable ticket to go with it!
A lovely collection of vintage toys and games
Upstairs in this charming 15th century building you are surrounded by vintage fabrics, old vintage patterns for making your own pieces of clothing, a children’s department, a vintage jewellery section and some beautiful items for the house. I would come love to come here when I am decorating my future house one day, as I can’t imagine a better place to find unique pieces that give the home a very personal touch.

I love this – so very French country
Some charming vintage patterns for all you amazing people who make your own clothes!
Whenever I have spent hours searching the shops in vain for a specific design that I have in mind, I always decide that one day I will design my own clothes! I might just start collecting vintage patterns like these so that I am prepared for that day when I finally have a sowing machine!

The Vintage Jewellery Corner, where I may or may not have bought something….
The shop and café combined is just such a well-thought through concept. I love how they are promoting independent designers and dealers, as I am always much more inclined to shop at places like this, than at high street chain shops! They call it a “modern day vintage department store”, which is a perfect description, except that it is so much more charming and intimate than a regular department store!
