This blog is about old postcards, book illustration and all kinds of paper whimsy from the Soviet Union. I'm a long time collector, and this blog is 7 years old. I have an etsy shop for cards, books, pins and vintage finds from Russia.

I have the very same tea box from my grandparents! I use it as my default box for loose green tea. I love it. Mine has less color left in it though, it’s almost silver. I was quite surprised to find out that it was originally yellow. :)
