I bought this collection of 400+ space-themed pins yesterday (it’s not from the flea market but from a local man) - and I’m in awe! What a treasure.
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.
