Well, I gather school is back to normal, and as the Bibury Antiques Fair becomes closer, I thought this vintage folding desk was appropriate to be featured on the page.
What a handy item, being able to be folded reasonably flat, whilst being very sturdy in use, it could be just what you have been looking for? Maybe see you soon?
Regards, Andy.
Hello all.
Well, the bets are on, (or off I think!), for a white Christmas. In case you missed it, there was snow here a few weeks ago and here is a photograph I hope you like, taken just a few hours after daybreak, and as the snow was melting, hardly had time to be enjoyed!
Have a Merry Christmas, and thanks to all visitors and stallholders that have made Bibury Antiques Fair such an enjoyable little fair.
We return in March, and will also be on show on Easter Sunday too, April 1st, and no joke either!
Regards, and best wishes. Andy.
Hello All!
As many will be preparing for roasts, many turkey, for a big day coming up soon, I was pleased to photograph these at the November Bibury Antiques Fair, and not being true 100 year old, they are fun, very useable, and quite rare I guess, and so most likely highly collectable.
I remember the “Beefeater” chain of pubs, not sure they were often frequented by me, (just found out they still going!), but these plates were especially commissioned for the chain, I think they are ’70’s (?). Surely many were broken in use, and as such I wonder, and can’t believe are many left in this condition.
Whilst many are preparing other game meals, many are treating themselves to fabulous joints of beef for Santa’s Lunch. Wouldn’t these be fun to use?
Keep in touch and a “Happy Run up to Santa’s eve!”
Regards, Andy.
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, I am just weighing things up, as some people say, and now that’s done the dates for next year can be released!
Our next fair at Bibury Village Hall, will be on November 5th, not long to go now. Let’s hope this one goes with a bang, seem to recall someone else said that a few years ago too!
Julie will be with us again and here is a spring balance that I photographed of hers.
Have a good week and I hope to see you soon, don’t forget our visitors book!
Regards, Andy.
Hello Shipmates!
Here is a small section of a larger painting that is currently for sale, it may be available for viewing on Sunday at Bibury, please call for further information. I’ll try to get to measure the whole, but it is a reasonably large painting. The water levels in Bibury luckily are not capable of us seeing anything like this, so a painting will have to do! The fair is open this Sunday October 1st, from 10am.
Regards, Andy.
Hello and Happy Friday Folks!
Should you have time on Sunday 6th August, and happen to be close enough to visit us in Bibury, Gloucestershire, we will be on show from 10 in the morning, to 4 in the afternoon.
Why “Watch out!” ? Well, just because you may well find a few timepieces, and here are some which most likely will be able to be seen on sale soon! Hope you have a good weekend, wherever you go, but it could be even better in Bibury!
Regards, Andy.
Morning Folks!
Coffee time and oranges for morning munchies anyone?
Remember these at the market, they should be on show at the next Bibury Antiques and collectors fair, on Sunday August 6th. They make excellent shelves for display, or kitchen storage etc!
Not our usual style, but fun! Pop along to see us with some lovely jewellery, glassware, silver, pictures, rugs, furniture and maybe a clock or two!
Afternoon refreshments available too!
Thanks, Andy.
