Aha! Bibury Antiques Fair returns on April 2nd! Yes, the day after April Fools Day!
Whilst one of our regular dealers cannot be with us, we will be joined by a new dealer, so hope you can join us to find out who she is!
Here is a little snap of part of one dealers stock last month, and I shall be showing more over the next few days! Hope to see you soon!
Regards, Andy.
Hello all!
Thanks to all the dealers, visitors and customers that made our first fair of the year in Bibury a very pleasant event. Reports of dealers selling, and bags being seen leaving, were obvious. We seemed to be steady for most of the day, not a heaving busy fair, but the majority of visitors left with a momento of the day!
This was what I came home with, and I’m really looking forward to using it, a small saw with a home made guard, after a clean up, I think this will do many small jobs repairing and making drawers and the like.
Why not pop along next month, April 2nd, and see what you can go home with?
Oh yes, and I can recommend the pizza at The Catherine Wheel!
Regards, Andy.
Well, it’s Friday!
Sunday sees us set up the Bibury Antiques Fair, and I hope the weather is better, otherwise I’ll bring a mop for the floor!
We hope to be a fabulous display that can’t be resisted by visitors, and will always help carry items to cars once bought! Bring a brolly!
Pop in and say hi, hope that you have a good start to the weekend. Here is a photo of one of the stalls last December.
Regards, Andy.
The weather seems to be much more friendly today, after ripping a few impressive trees from their roots over the last week or so, so the saying about March coming in like a lion sprang to mind. Although March 1st today, and quieter, we will wait to see what the weather brings us for this coming Sunday, March 5th, when we have our first Bibury Antiques Fair. Open from 10am to 4pm, lunches can be enjoyed at The Swan Hotel, The Catherine Wheel, and The William Morris. Have a great day!
Here is a barometer which will be for sale, and as one can see by the reading, this is quite a low pressure sales pitch!
Pop along and see us in Bibury Village Hall, we have a great selection of dealers selling fabulous stock, most of it a sensible size to take home on the day!
Happy Hunting!
All the best, Andy
Wow! This morning was colder than I thought it would be! Ice on the car!
For those brave enough to venture out on Sunday 5th March early, well from 10am, we will be on show at Bibury Village Hall.
If Matt has the time, he may be seen on this trike, and if the weather is good, I’ll send him down the road to get us all some ice creams!
Pop along to see if this really happens, or just some more hype!
Along with Matt, there will be 3 people called John, Julie, Mandy, Lorna, Eve, Sheila, Jacqueline, Ken, Eveline and myself all there offering our stock for your perusal and potential purchase!
Have a good day, the sun is coming out now!
Regards, Andy.
Eve returns to us on March 5th, and she is one of the original founders of Bibury Antiques Fair. Eve sells a mixture of silver, jewellery, ceramics, glass etc, and it’s a brave person who doesn’t stop to look at her stall to see what’s there, as I have always picked something up and learnt from her. Last time I saw her Eve had some Icelandic sewing needles for sewing through tough materials, where else can one get those?
Pop along to see what Eve, and others bring to Bibury in less than a week!
Regards, Andy.
Well, today is a lovely day and yesterdays chaos of traffic and trees around here was interesting on some roads. despite seeing many trees down in fields and hedges, I only needed to get out and shift one with a lady infront of me, somewhere near Garsington, easily done so we could all get by, thanks whoever you were!
There were a few buzzards and pigeons looking rather startled, as if they regretted taking to the air!
Here is a picture, which I find fantastic, really a breath of fresh air, and I can almost hear the engine roar as it flies past, I’m sure one of those pigeons was nearly going as fast yesterday!
Recently I heard of someone celebrating their 80th birthday and being allowed to fly over Biggin Hill and Dover, and he even got his original spitfire log book signed from his earlier days! Do you like this Derek?
Here it is (slightly cropped image) for all of us to enjoy! Pop along to Bibury on March 5th, and it should be there!
Regards, Andy.
Well, I am pleased to say that the first Bibury fair of this year is looking fabulous!
I’m almost worried we need a dry sunny day to fit all the stock into the hall!
Here is a photo of some stock that may well be there, and I’ll try to add some more pictures every couple of days. Shout if you are interested in anything!
See you Sunday 5th March perhaps?
Regards, Andy.
Bibury Antiques Fair has a varied selection of stock and the dealers that will be there shall be selling lots of different items, here is one.
This is a lithograph of the Church of The Sacred Heart, Hove, and will be on display on March 5th. The signature, I think, is Dorothy L Howarth.
Call into see it, and don’t forget the lovely church just down the road from us too, well worth looking in, and I hope the bells will be ringing, they are great to hear!
Have a nice day!
Andy.
Well, as I have said we return on March 5th!
Eve is joining us, as is Ken, Mandy and John, John, and another John, for the first time, and Julie again, well, I guess I’ll have to go now, so I’ll bring along some chairs, a couple of mirrors, barometer and a longcase clock, and if I remember, a couple of wine tables!
So, if you called John, why not pop along! See you there!
Here is a glimpse of last December, I’ll add more in the next couple of days!
Bye for now! Andy.
