Morning Folks.
This weekend, the 25th & 26th of November sees a twice yearly antiques fair at The Holt Hotel, Steeple Aston, near Deddington.
This is a part of my stall, hope you like it!
Regards, Andy.
I’m off to “Antiques at The Holt!” this weekend.
Morning!
Occasionally over the years, despite running many fairs, I still occasionally have time to be a stallholder at others. This weekend I can be seen with some furniture,tables, chairs, longcase clock, rugs, firescreens, drinking glasses and a fewer small items too.
Pop along if you have time, we are open all weekend, easy to find at the crossroads at The Holt Hotel, Steeple Aston, Oxfordshire, OX25 5QQ Maybe see you there? These are coming too!
Regards, Andy.
Good Morning From Bibury!
Morning all.
Just to say, we have opened for business in Bibury.
See us at The Village Hall until 4pm today. Here is a photo of the river earlier this morning.
Maybe see you in The Village Hall ?
Regards, Andy.
Remember remember the…….. Antiques?!
Hello all!
This weekend is “Fireworks weekend” and on Sunday when the smoke hangs in the early morning misty air, we will be on show at Bibury Antiques Fair in the Village Hall.
We open at 10am and close at 4pm, this is our last event this year, we return in the spring, on March 4th. This website will remain active with a few items for sale so please keep in touch, I hope you will enjoy what I can offer.
Thanks, Andy.
Spooky! We’re back soon!
Hello again. Well, yes, Halloween time is here soon, and we are getting ready to put on a great show for visitors this Sunday, November 5th.
We have a great line up, so if you have the chance, call in to view and maybe buy too! This will be our final show this year, as we will be having a break, to return in March!
I haven’t got a spare coffin for halloween, but this Mahogany Cellerette is at least Sarcophagus shape, and is for sale, with a liner inside with six divisions!
Have a good week and hope to see you soon! Bye for now, Andy.
Tipping the balance?
Hello, I am just weighing things up, as some people say, and now that’s done the dates for next year can be released!
Our next fair at Bibury Village Hall, will be on November 5th, not long to go now. Let’s hope this one goes with a bang, seem to recall someone else said that a few years ago too!
Julie will be with us again and here is a spring balance that I photographed of hers.
Have a good week and I hope to see you soon, don’t forget our visitors book!
Regards, Andy.
Plain Sailing?
Hello again!
Been a while since I bought this plane, and now that it’s all clean and sharpened, I had great pleasure using it yesterday.
So, if anyone has any old tools still in their sheds, or workshops which have been long abandoned, I may well be interested in looking at them to see if some can be brought back into use, after all, this one looks as though it could be easily around 150 years old, (most likely more!) and now will be in regular use.
Hope you like it!
Regards, Andy.
Clocking Off for the day!
Well, Hello!
Not exactly clocking off for the day, the signs have to be collected and a few bits and bobs sorted before a supper and pop to match it!
Here is a photograph of a clock I have had offered for sale today, Sunday October 1st! At the time of writing, In can’t find my photographs, so a temporary one will have to be done, until I can get a better one.
Sorry, here it is for now! (Ihope!!)
The Kitchen Cabinet!
Hello Folks!
Well, this little gem has been hiding in my kitchen for about 5 years or so, and prior to then was a workshop store for handy stuff, such as my part finished models of projects to be made full size, and all the delicate sketches and drawings of future work. When in the kitchen, was full of flour for bread and jars of honey, and some nice old steak knives which should be used more often, for any supper perhaps. Has a single interior shelf. Yes, I should have measured it, I’ll add sizes soon, unless it sells! Please call or email for info.
Well, here it is, an Oak Arched door cabinet with upper drawer. They keys are around somewhere as I had to remove them to wax and buff this prior to photography.
On show on Sunday October the first……..
Anyone remember the saying ” Pinch, Punch, First of the month, and no return!” Maybe I remember it as I was often on the receiving end, “Happy Days!?”.
Best Cellar?
Hello again!
Well, excuse the pun, but could this be a best Cellar(ette)?
Here it is, what a cracker, or am I wrong, I think it’s a fab colour, shape and in pretty good condition too! I can cut a key of needed, but as it’s empty I didn’t need one!
On show at Bibury Antiques Fair this Sunday October 1st.
Call or email for info!
Thank, Andy.
