Hello all.
What a sunny morning again and my sunflowers now resting after being bashed by the wind and rain, they are surprisingly heavy when tall!
Here is an old oak panel which I have just buffed up to show some of the carving a bit better, I quite like the flowers!
It will be for sale this Sunday in Bibury Village Hall.
Pop along and say hi!
Thanks, Andy.
As the song doesn’t go!…….
Summer Knees, drifting away, blowing in the sunset of my mind!
Well, no sunset here to watch the eclipse, too cloudy, so that has been blown away!
Meanwhile, here are some knees which will be for sale with the rest of the table on Sunday August 5th! Pop in and say hi, we will be on show from 10am till 4pm at Bibury Village Hall.
May see you then! In the meantime, have a good day!
Regards, Andy.
Hello All!
Just to say that this Sunday is July 1st and we will be on show at Bibury Village Hall from 10am to 4pm. Refreshments will be served from around 1130.
Our dealers have a great selection of items for sale and last month I photographed these glasses. Don’t be blue if you miss us, pop along and enjoy the day!
Regards, Andy.
Hello all!
Here is a Rogation mug for Rogation Sunday.
Never heard of it? Well, as a kid in the village choir we used to carry an old plough, painted and cleaned every year, into the church where it would be left in the aisle during the service and then get blessed by the vicar.
This is symbolic of blessing the land and the farmers, workers and the potential crops that all come from the land.
Quite appropriate as I now keep bees, and they are a massively important part of farming, helping to pollinate the crops. Not just honey bees, Bumble bees too!
So, here is a Rogation Mug. They vary massively, but this is one of at least two that will be for sale at Bibury Antiques Fair on May 6th!
Hope you like it! Regards, Andy.

Here I have a splendid card table, Georgian, around 1740.
Great colour and I have just waxed these fabulous legs!
Shown here closed, and the castors visible. This will be on show at Bibury Antiques Fair on May 6th. Play your cards right and delivery could be included in the price, depends where one lives I must say, but ask and hope!
Have a good weekend wherever you are!
Regards, Andy.
Hello all!
Just to say that Bibury Antiques Fair is this Sunday, May 6th.
We are full and will have a fabulous display for all to see.
If anyone can offer a helping hand to the buyer of this please feel free, it’s heavy and for sale this Sunday, first day out too! Georgian Bureau with a fabulous interior and excellent presence to it, just stands so proud and solid. Looks great but also very useful, many offices would be improved by something like this, here it is just been loaded into the car!

Hello All!
Thanks to all the dealers and visitors who were with us at Bibury last Sunday, we had a busy day, and the weather was pretty good too, much better than the rain we have had recently, so the river wasn’t as clear as usual.
This is a photograph of one of the stands, I hope it gives a little feel of the variety of items we have on sale at this fair.
Have a good week.
Regards, Andy.
Hello! Here is a photograph of the river and The Swan Hotel in Bibury, and behind me the river runs next to the road and goes past The Village Hall, where Bibury Antiques Fair will be on show on Sunday April 1st! Please call in and peruse the lovely show we will have. Maybe a late Easter present for a friend could be found? There will be several Classic Cars on their way for coffee just down the road too, follow one and see where it goes! Happy motoring!
Regards, Andy.
Hello, I have just found a photograph of a stall from last April, and here it is.
Hello! Well, is it a Good Friday? Well, according to the weather forecast it will be soggy around the edges, and bees will not be flying unless sheltered against a wall or in a sunny spot if they are lucky!
So, final waxing and dusting of a few bits and bobs should be able to continue indoors!
Here is a table top which just looks fab in the sunshine!
Regards, Andy
