I have mentioned before that whilst quilting cotton is difficult to find here in Latvia, the same cannot be said for linen. The best linen bargains, however, are to be found in a factory shop a two- and a bit hour drive away in Lithuania. So, when I found out that my husband had a business trip to Lithuania planned, you can imagine what was on my agenda!
Linens are piled high all around the shop, so choosing can be a lengthy process. In the end all of these found their way into my basket. Well I don't know when I will be back and at around £5 per metre, it would be nuts not to take advantage, wouldn't it?
Some of these were destined for my Armchair Athlete Cushion, but some like this

were just because purchases! They are bound to come in useful someday :) Suggestions welcome, naturally!
On the way back from Lithuania we stopped for a coffee in a town about an hour outside Riga, and came across this lovely church.
Aren't those domes gorgeous? We definitely picked the right day to visit it, the gilding on the domes were glinting beautifully in the sunshine.
Hope you have all been enjoying some sunshine too.
