Hello all. Yes, only 7 more Sundays to go before we will be on show at Bibury Village Hall! (April 7th, 2019).
Here’s our every helpful cat hiding my diary, whilst I am trying to ensure all is in place for our first fair of the year. A quickly snapped photo of Shadow re-homed through Sunshine Cat Rescue of Witney.
Maybe see you in Bibury? Regards, Andy.
Hello Folks!
Just thought I’d slip a quick post in today, and remind people that the Bibury Antiques Fair returns on April 7th 2019.
I’m looking forward to getting back to the Village Hall and having an enjoyable day with people, and to get a few more places into the visitors book.
Meanwhile if anyone wants to learn about Gillows Furniture from Lancaster, my home City, then here is a set of good modern reference books, which are for sale shout if you are interested, as they are a keen price and these are for sale, at around half their official listing price!
Have a good weekend, won’t be long and I hope the sledge runners get polished if anyone happens to be near snow and have a sledge!
All the best for now, Andy.
Hello again.
This year has started slowly on here, as we don’t have a fair in Bibury until 7th April. However there’s a small table just come in for sale, straight from the client, and I wanted to show you. A small Sutherland Table, perfect for afternoon tea or morning coffee, measuring 61cm high, and when open, 77cm by 60cm, closed it’s only 16cm wide, so sits neatly out of the way! Great colour, here it is!
Please let me know if you are interested as it’s quite a keen price! Regards, Andy.
Hello and Happy New Year folks!
Here is a little photo of a New Years Day bus trip, as seen in Winchester, hope you like it, it seems they also run vintage bus trips on other Bank Holidays too. Maybe I’ll have time to enjoy one soon.
Please follow the link to find out more about them…….https://www.kingalfredbuses.org.uk/
Our Bibury Antiques Fair doesn’t have an event until April, so I hope to see you then! Think it may be a while before we can offer a free bus service to our fair, sorry folks!
Regards, Andy.
Hello everyone!
Just a quick note to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Whilst I’m sure there won’t be any sledging around here, I’m sure some people of a certain age will remember “The Snowman” and the song “Walking in the air”. Well, here is our Sunshine Cat Rescue cat, Shadow, trying to do just that, taken a few days ago, I’m not sure she will give me permission to sell “her” chair now! Have a good time folks!

Hello again!
Just a quick photograph of an oak longcase dial taken as I was adjusting the time, so an hours extra time as many people say, however as its sunny, I’m off to have a short walk in the sunshine, kicking leaves off the paths, just like schooldays!
It’s quite likely that I’ll be taking this clock to Bibury, so if you’re interested just nudge me and I’ll make sure it’s there. The dial signed Geo Jackson, Gainsbro. A nice 30 hour movement with good sounding bell!
Our last fair this year in Bibury is on November 4th, between 10am and 4pm. Maybe see you there?
Regards, Andy.
Hello all.
The title was a saying of a dealer many of us used to know, and it’s still around, when I remember! My post today is to remind, or inform about our next event, this Sunday on October 6th in Bibury Village Hall.
Refreshments served by Angela will include panini as the weather gets cooler, and hot sandwich and soup may just well be ideal!
Here is a photograph of a stand a couple of months ago, and who hopes to return to us in the spring. It shows an example of the variety of items we do get. Hope you like it.
Regards, Andy.
Hello again all.
Just a quick catch up after the fair today and I tried to photograph my favourite item I saw today, a difficult challenge as it was made from Lead Crystal. Without proper time allowance, or backdrops, I came up with this photo. This item is available for sale, I can give your number to the dealer if you are interested!
I’d be happy to have this perched on a window as I think it may be a little too good for my current car! Maybe if I had a falconry business I could buy it as a paperweight!
What would you do with it?
Regards, Andy.
Hello again!
The weather is getting cooler in the evenings, and the nights are drawing in sooner, the solar lights switching themselves on earlier. So I’m thinking of moving inside more, although tonight the sky is rather good already.
Wonder if I could live in here, this manor house will be for sale at Bibury this Sunday, 2nd September. Pop along and see if it suits maybe it’s a miniature of where you live already?
Maybe see you soon?
Regards, Andy.
Hello again!
I am pleased to say that we have Lawrence Bunn joining us for our September 2nd Bibury Antiques Fair. Lawrence is a dealer and collector of Staffordshire, and this will be his first fair with us in Bibury.
Here are a few photographs of some of his stock which he will be bringing with him, there will be more. Pop along and see, he is bringing a rather nice manor house with him too, I’ll add that next week, but if you fancy a new home, they will be one for sale!
Regards, Andy.
