En: Rīgas Centrāltirgus was always lively – full of people, colorful stalls, and various aromas. Lv: Tas bija pavasaris, un vēss gaiss nāca tieši no Daugavas upes, sajaucoties ar piparkūku un ceptu ābolu smaržu. En: It was spring, and the cool air came directly from the Daugavas river, mixing with the scent of gingerbread and roasted apples. Lv: Elizabete pastaigājās pa tirgu. En: Elizabete walked around the market. Lv: Viņa mīlēja Latvijas tradīcijas un gribēja savām mājām piešķirt īpašu noskaņojumu uz Latvijas neatkarības dienu – 18. novembri. En: She loved Latvian traditions and wanted to give her home a special atmosphere for Latvia's Independence Day – November 18th. Lv: Taču Elizabetei bija ierobežots budžets, tāpēc viņai prātā bija plāns. En: However, Elizabete had a limited budget, so she had a plan in mind. Lv: Viņa staigāja gar stendiem un rūpīgi ielūkojās katrā. En: She walked by the stalls, carefully inspecting each one. Lv: Pārdevēji piedāvāja visu – no skaistiem salmiem rotātiem vainagiem līdz grezniem lina galdautiem. En: Vendors offered everything – from beautiful wreaths adorned with straw to luxurious linen tablecloths. Lv: Tomēr cenas bieži bija par augstu. En: However, the prices were often too high. Lv: Elizabete uzmanīgi aplūkoja kādu stendu ar koka dekoriem, taču cenas viņu atbaidīja. En: Elizabete carefully looked at a stall with wooden decorations, but the prices deterred her. Lv: "Elizabete, nāc šeit!" – atskanēja Ievas balss. En: "Elizabete, come here!" – Ieva's voice called out. Lv: Draudzene viņu sagaidīja pie rūtojamiem audumiem un naftaž spēlēm. En: Her friend awaited her by plaid fabrics and traditional games. Lv: "Šeit ir kaut kas skaists, bet cena ir zemāka," Ieva pasmaidīja. En: "Here is something beautiful, but the price is lower," Ieva smiled. Lv: Tomēr Elizabete saprata, ka pat šīs preces viņai nav pa kabatai. En: However, Elizabete realized that even these items were beyond her reach. Lv: Viņai nācās būt radošai. En: She had to be creative. Lv: Raimonds, kurš pievienojās meitenēm, ieteica: "Kāpēc nepaskati mājās, varbūt tur ir kaut kas, ko var pārveidot." En: Raimonds, who joined the girls, suggested, "Why not look at home, maybe there's something you can transform." Lv: Elizabetei bija ideja. En: Elizabete had an idea. Lv: Viņa atcerējās, ka mājās ir daudz vecu lupatu gabalu un vecs, bet stabils koka rāmis. En: She remembered that at home she had many old scraps of fabric and an old but sturdy wooden frame. Lv: Viņa varētu izveidot savu dekora objektu. En: She could create her own decorative piece. Lv: Tomēr viņai vajadzēja kaut ko īpašu, lai pabeigtu to. En: However, she needed something special to complete it. Lv: Tad viņa ieraudzīja nelielu stendu ar vietējiem darinājumiem. En: Then she saw a small stall with local crafts. Lv: Tur bija izstādīti dažādi mazi, rotaļīgi dekori ar Latvijas karogu motīvu. En: There were various small, playful decorations with the Latvian flag motif displayed. Lv: Tie bija unikāli un vietām atšķirīgi no ierastā, bet arī daudz pieejamāki pēc cenas. En: They were unique and in some places different from the usual, but also much more...
