Three envelopes mailed in 1974-75. The airmail one is from Switzerland, the others are within the USSR. The first envelope has a cute design that says “Happy New Year”.
Do you send handwritten cards or letters during the holiday season?
This blog is about old postcards, book illustration, history and culture of Russia and the Soviet Union. I'm a long time collector, and this blog is 10 years old.
Among the things I love are old timey handwritten letters. I love those handwritings. You can tell they’re from a different generation.

October 9 − World Post Day
Congratulations to all postcard lovers, pen pallers, postal workers, mail artists, stamp collectors!
This day also marks the beginning of the International Letter Writing Week. I haven’t written letters for a long time, but I want to, and this is the perfect time to do it. So, I pledge to write at least one letter this week.
Who wants to join in?
