Hello folks!
Thanks to all the people who came to the fair and especially for the signing in the visitors book!
Here is the last post of the day! Signed by Robert.
All the best Andy.

Bright Idea?
Hello all!
Several years ago a brass wall sconce was bought, and has sat at home near the fire ever since. Last weekend, I made a few candles from scraps of beekeeping beeswax foundation, and here they are, sitting alight. Fun! Hope you like it, the room smells of the wax now, and I will make more!
Should you wish to join us this Sunday at Bibury Antiques Fair, please do, but I can’t promise good weather, but there will be tea, coffee, cakes etc served for you from around noon, if dry, outside in the sun! More substantial meals can be bought locally, at the tea room, pub, or hotel.
Thanks, Andy.
Quips?!
Well, many people wonder where I get inspiration from, as many of my comments are well, quick, (often irrelevant), or as some of us say……”Off the cuff!”
Here are a pair of cuffs, the photograph taken last month at Bibury Antiques Fair, pop along to see if they are in your size this Sunday, July 2nd!
See you there? Andy.
Fine Pine!
Hello again!
Well, a busy week ahead, for me and I thought I’d share this with you.
A side table with drawer. Would be great for a hallway, or extra side table around the house, even used as a desk for studying perhaps!
Most likely originally painted, as the legs are beech, and the rest is pine. Having been recently waxed, looking good now.
Here it is. All the best, Andy.
Flaming June!
Aha! When I was a child months used to have slogans or something that described the month, such as “IN LIKE A LION, OUT LIKE A LAMB”.
Flaming June was hot, so it seems like a long tome ago since I took this photo, last Sunday, but after 2 days of rain, no beekeeping and half a vehicle still loaded here is the view as I left Bibury Sunday evening!
Hope you approve.
Thanks, Andy.
Just In!
Here is a limited edition print is by David Azuz, from 1965. Not really an antique, but qualifies as collectable and vintage.
Here it is, hope you like it!
Regards, Andy.
Bibury Birds!
Hello again. I thought I may be able to show you something which will be at the fair on Sunday 4th June, so here it is.
An embroidered panel, of birds, hope you like it, I think it’s lovely, so hope it finds a nice home to fly away to!
See you soon, Andy.
Breakfast Tea? English or China?
Morning Folks!
Bit late for breakfast tea for many, but I thought some people would like to see a small Caddy which will be on show on Sunday in Bibury, so here it is!
We open at 10am and close at 4pm, and after packing up, may well feel like sitting by the river in the shade for a while and watching for a kingfisher.
See you there?
Regards, Andy.
Return the Marbles to Bibury!
Well, not a secret hoard of ancient ruins, but with some summer weather, maybe playing marbles in the sun could be a pleasant pastime! These were spotted at the last event, so they may still be available.
Pop along on Sunday to find out, could be the addition of a world championship event in the offing, no, not for me to organise, but I’d probably come and watch.
Have a good evening.
Regards, Andy
Return to Sender?
Sunday sees us return to Bibury Village Hall, we will be joined by a new dealer, and I look forward to meeting him and his stock!
Here is a view of a fun letter rack for sale from last month.
We can be found from 10 am to 4pm, and from around noon, there will be tea, coffee and cakes for sale, something to eat and drink whilst deciding on little treat to take home perhaps?
All the best, Andy.
