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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
Regards, Andy.
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.
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.
