UPDATE: after a conversation with one of the traders who'll participate in this event I rather suggest arrive in the morning of June 7 because on June 6 there is going to be just 1/3 of all traders.

Basically the traders start their work already on June 6. The thing is that on the 1st day there could be more goods but on June 7 the prices might get lower. If interested there's a craftmen market with traditional atmosphere at Latvian Ethnographic Open Air Museum (Latvijas Etnogrāfiskais brīvdaba...

The meeting of collectors of antiques and restorers in Ikšķile on June 7.

Recently I found out about this Russian page, which gives some interesting information about bricks:

I guess it was Churchill who said that future's fascists would hide under antifascists' masks. However, he was the one who betrayed us in Yalta.

Done.

Thanks, that's exactly what I meant.

Next time I'll give you some information about Latvian cavaliers of the award "Ehrenblattspange des Heeres" (the Honour Roll Clasp of the Army).

Somehow I wasn't able to make the post so that you can see a photo after every man's description (if som...

The white "A.T.B." brick was found near by my house and it could be from 19th century. The other one looks like one from Soviet times and it's a part of the wall of my acquaintance's shed. Both from Sigulda.
