Well, I gather school is back to normal, and as the Bibury Antiques Fair becomes closer, I thought this vintage folding desk was appropriate to be featured on the page.
What a handy item, being able to be folded reasonably flat, whilst being very sturdy in use, it could be just what you have been looking for? Maybe see you soon?
Regards, Andy.
Hello again!
It won’t be long before Bibury Antiques Fair returns to being open on the first Sunday of the month, from March 4th, to, and including November 4th.
Whilst the fair has been closed, I have been busy doing restoration on furniture, and one of the items which will be ready for show in March is this, a Georgian mahogany card table, shown here after a light improvement with some more work needed, a few small areas of veneers etc. This will look great in many houses, even if it never sees a life of card playing.
Should you be interested in this, don’t hesitate to ask me for details, delivery can be arranged too!
See you soon?
Regards, Andy.
Hello all.
Well, the bets are on, (or off I think!), for a white Christmas. In case you missed it, there was snow here a few weeks ago and here is a photograph I hope you like, taken just a few hours after daybreak, and as the snow was melting, hardly had time to be enjoyed!
Have a Merry Christmas, and thanks to all visitors and stallholders that have made Bibury Antiques Fair such an enjoyable little fair.
We return in March, and will also be on show on Easter Sunday too, April 1st, and no joke either!
Regards, and best wishes. Andy.

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.
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!!)
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!?”.
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.
