What’s next?

Hello again!

This coming Sunday there are two new stallholders with us and I rarely know what people will bring, but I do know that after an hour or so of setting up, Bibury Village Hall becomes a place of people displaying their stalls, chatting, drinking tea and coffee and seeing what everyone has brought.

Why not call in during the day to see what we have on offer. I can say that there will be some great cakes, teas and coffee and sandwiches available from noon, so for all those people whom have had great suppers on Saturday, we are an ideal place for a break and a munch! Cyclists and walkers have bought cake to take away before too! Just a thought.

Here’s a fish that may be able to be taken home, and used, not eaten!

Have a good day, Andy.

Hello Shipmates!

Here is a small section of a larger painting that is currently for sale, it may be available for viewing on Sunday at Bibury, please call for further information. I’ll try to get to measure the whole, but it is a reasonably large painting. The water levels in Bibury luckily are not capable of us seeing anything like this, so a painting will have to do! The fair is open this Sunday October 1st, from 10am.

Regards, Andy.

One week to go!

Morning All!

Just a quick catch up here, as we are in the week running up to us being on show again in Bibury Village Hall. We open at 10am as many of you know.

There are a couple of new stallholders this month, and one of them will be selling some of the chattels from their mothers estate. 

The Lady that used to be “Listen With Mother” and who wrote several books died in 2016, and one of her daughters will be with us.

Here is  a link to the obituary, https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/apr/28/eugenie-summerfield-obituary .

Also here is a photo of one of last months items, created by Desmond Raynor.

Just ticking over!

Hello again.

This week has been an interesting one so far, and one of the projects I have been working on is an oak longcase clock.

Here is the movement just ticking over in the background as the case gets some improvement to the very dirty and more than dusty surface! Sorry, should have mentioned, the movement is signed “Geo Jackson, Gainsbro” 

This will be on show at our next fair, October 1st. We open from 10am, and close at 4pm.

Refreshments are available from noon, and I (and several others) really enjoyed the coffee and walnut cake last month!

Call in and say hi, or sign our visitors book, it’s great to see where people travel from.

Regards, Andy.

Cheese and Biscuits Anyone?

Hello again!

I thought this may interest you, a great cheese jar from Harrods.

Well, just having finished supper, thought this was appropriate, although the cheese I am eating now came from Cheshire, and not in a jar either. Very nice though!

Why not come along on October 1st to see if it’s still for sale before the cheese is bought?

Have a good weekend.

Regards, Andy.

Weighing up the results!

Hello!

Well, it rained pretty well all day yesterday but this didn’t stop visitors enjoying the fair and buying little treasures to take away. No sooner had I photographed a charming Scandinavian silver salt in the shape of a longboat, someone saw it and it sailed off to a new home.

So, all in all, weighing things up, it wasn’t a bad day! On the subject of scales, here is a set which were on show.

Have a good week!

Regards, Andy.

Hello folks!

Well, here we are again! Doesn’t that sound familiar? Just to let you know that John and Andrew are back with us again after a little break, so why not call in and see what new stock they have, along with our regular dealers.

We open at 10am on Sunday 3rd September, and close at around 4pm. Refreshments are served from around noon, and include sandwiches, tea, coffee and cakes! Hurry, or I’ll get there first!

Here is a photo of John’s stall a few months ago, when he was last with us.

Regards, Andy.
