Hello all!
Just hoping the weather doesn’t fool us again as this Sunday, April 1st we will be on show at Bibury Village Hall, from 10am to 4pm.
Refreshments from noon too.
There will be a great display of items for sale including jewellery, glass, boxes of all kinds (see the photo below), pictures, and a few nice items of furniture too!
Maybe see you there?
Regards, Andy.
Hello, and with just a week to go until Bibury Antiques Fair returns we are are busy and hoping the weather will be kinder to us than it was in March.
Amongst the dealers stock exhibited, one may well find this, a sign which just says all it needs to…….
So, please ask there is anything I can help with, we open at 10am and close at 4pm, from noon, refreshments will be available. Please call in and enjoy the fair.
Regards, Andy.
Hello!
Pleased to say that I have a card table for sale now, here it is too, a fine mid 18th C. wonderful colour mahogany table with fabulous legs! How can they be resisted?
Why not gamble on this and make an offer, but beware, despite being only on show in mid March for the first time, your offer may well be accepted! Gamble and try, we could both win! I’m not very good at poker, but I could be tempted!
Regards, Andy.
Hello!
As many know, we were not on show in March at Bibury, however we do return on Easter Sunday.
BUT!
Should you fancy a day out this weekend, please vist another antiques fair which is being held at Steeple Aston, on a main road between Woodstock and Banbury.

Maybe see you there!

Hello all!
Yes, we return on April 1st, and it’s no joke! Sadly we missed our first event of the year with the weather chaos, and despite me travelling a little that weekend, and not going far, I saw both clear roads and cars being dug out of deep snow all within a few yards, such was the complexity of drifting snow, dry stone walls and five bar gates!
A new stallholder to Bibury, who used to be a regular for a long time at our other events, will be coming, and here are a couple of insights of some of her stock, as ever a good display will be guaranteed, and if nearby, do call in as we will be a great show this time!
See you soon! Regards, Andy.
Hello all!
Just a quick note to say that due to weather forecasts and the amount of concern for travelling on the roads, we have decided to change plan and not have our fair this Sunday March 4th.
Regards, Andy.

Hello All!
Wow, what a bright sunny day on Sunday and so clear, could see for miles.
Tonight, well, minus 3 here, which not cold for many, but the Camelia is well wrapped as it was doing so well this year too, but I fear this may upset the buds if it gets colder.
The plan (subject to being frozen out or snowed in!), is to have our first Bibury Antiques Fair this coming Sunday, March 4th. The weather may well interfere with this, so please call, and unless I add news to the contrary, we will be on show, and I’m looking forward to it, this barometer may be there, and look, as I suspect the gauge will be different then too!
Regards, Andy.
Coldstream, weather forecast? No!
Gordon Bennet? No not him either, maybe a relative though!
Robert Bennet was a Cabinet maker, Upholsterer and Undertaker in Coldstream.
I found the label underneath a Gypsy Table, and here it is.
With the change in temperature, and the direction of air, I thought the word Coldstream was appropriate!
Hopefully the weather will warm up a little for the first Bibury Antiques Fair on March 4th, and maybe you will have time to join us there?
Regards, Andy.
Bibury Village Hall will be the location for us to return to from March 4th, won’t be long now! We will be on show until and including our November event.
Call in and see who will be with us, and what delights we have managed to muster since we were there last November!
Over the next week, I’ll be adding a few photos of what may well be there.
Regards, Andy.
Wow, with all the Olympic excitement about Curling, and I must admit, I do fancy having a go, it somehow is, I think, slowly exciting, addictive perhaps, and a mixture of lots, the target and actions a cross between archery, bowls, and more, or is that just how I see it?
Well, here is a miniature curling stone, which once held a wee dram, sadly been empty for a long time, but I guess it could be refilled! Call in and see us at Bibury Village Hall on March 4th to see if it’s still for sale!
Sliante Mhath!, Andy.
