Vintage Soviet dinner plates with kids design. Aren’t they the cutest?!
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.

The famous Chinese house on Myasnitskaya street in Moscow. I love it - it looks proper exotic in the middle of the city! It was originally built for a tea trade company in the 19th century.
