Both my parents are from Latvia which is in the Baltic. The family left  Europe when I was 2 1/2 yrs old & sailed across the Atlantic Ocean ending up in Trinidad & Tobago in the Caribbean. This is where I was raised & for 10 1/2 yrs. Then I came to U.S.A. & became a citizen.  I went to Latvia for the first time in 2004 to visit my Heritage.  It was very emotional & unfortunately my parents had passed away by then, I could not share this precious moment with them. Touring the country I discovered the Flax, which linen is made from, this beautiful & elegant fabric hand loomed, into a raw linen. The fabric can be made into beautiful curtains like no fabric seen  in U.S.A. I found a clothing line, Shawl's with beading woven in   ,table wear & accessories which has a very rich & natural look. The workmanship is very detailed & hand crafted. It is what I am seeing in our future life style. The casual but elegant look with little maintenance. Washable Linen. The manufacturer of the table wear & accessories , fabric's & shawl's. The history of the manufacturer runs back to 1934, when it was established as a manufacturer of decorative Art Fabric. The enterprise was transformed in 1993- it became a private Co. However, it has not altered the tradition of High-quality, artistic handwork. Most of the product is sold outside Latvia, mainly in European Countries. I have been in the retail business all my life in every facet. I had my first retail store at the age of 26. I believe the look of this Linen is now & coming in the future, the rich, elegant with a casual life style. We carry a clothing line, a very soft Wool line of gloves & sweater's, Linen shawl's with beading & without. I also sell these beautiful  fabric's by it self, so you can create your own look. Table wear & accessories, napkins table cloth's runner's , towels, pillowcases, Bed sheets, Duve's etc.  Any of the items like the Shawls & Home accessories can be ordered in any size or color. If a custom order ids made it may take a week or two to receive. I  could not think of a good closing sentence. I know my  spelling is terrible. but I was trying to finish & get this to you right away.                                                                          Mara Irbe Canulla                                                                            Mara's Baltic Linen.
