The Kitchen Cabinet!

Hello Folks!

Well, this little gem has been hiding in my kitchen for about 5 years or so, and prior to then was a workshop store for handy stuff, such as my part finished models of projects to be made full size, and all the delicate sketches and drawings of future work. When in the kitchen, was full of flour for bread and jars of honey, and some nice old steak knives which should be used more often, for any supper perhaps. Has a single interior shelf. Yes, I should have measured it, I’ll add sizes soon, unless it sells! Please call or email for info.

Well, here it is, an Oak Arched door cabinet with upper drawer. They keys are around somewhere as I had to remove them to wax and buff this prior to photography.

On show on Sunday October the first……..

Anyone remember the saying ” Pinch, Punch, First of the month, and no return!” Maybe I remember it as I was often on the receiving end, “Happy Days!?”.

One week to go!

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.

Just ticking over!

Hello again.

This week has been an interesting one so far, and one of the projects I have been working on is an oak longcase clock.

Here is the movement just ticking over in the background as the case gets some improvement to the very dirty and more than dusty surface! Sorry, should have mentioned, the movement is signed “Geo Jackson, Gainsbro” 

This will be on show at our next fair, October 1st. We open from 10am, and close at 4pm.

Refreshments are available from noon, and I (and several others) really enjoyed the coffee and walnut cake last month!

Call in and say hi, or sign our visitors book, it’s great to see where people travel from.

Regards, Andy.

Weighing up the results!

Hello!

Well, it rained pretty well all day yesterday but this didn’t stop visitors enjoying the fair and buying little treasures to take away. No sooner had I photographed a charming Scandinavian silver salt in the shape of a longboat, someone saw it and it sailed off to a new home.

So, all in all, weighing things up, it wasn’t a bad day! On the subject of scales, here is a set which were on show.

Have a good week!

Regards, Andy.

What a gem!

Hello again!

Well, some time has gone by since our last Bibury Antiques Fair, our next one being on September 3rd.

The fair is already looking like it should be a busy one, judging by the amount of stalls already booked!

Should you be nearby and fancy a look into one of “Englands Vintage Village Halls”, this really is a gem, and here are a few items of jewellery which were photographed in August, and similar items may well be displayed in September.

Hope to see you soon. Regards, Andy.

Watch Out!

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.

Fruity Friday?

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.
