Morning!
Occasionally over the years, despite running many fairs, I still occasionally have time to be a stallholder at others. This weekend I can be seen with some furniture,tables, chairs, longcase clock, rugs, firescreens, drinking glasses and a fewer small items too.
Pop along if you have time, we are open all weekend, easy to find at the crossroads at The Holt Hotel, Steeple Aston, Oxfordshire, OX25 5QQ Maybe see you there? These are coming too!
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 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 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.
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.
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!
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.
