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.

Here’s a new listing from my shop! It’s been a while since I posted new items. I guess I’m not made for running a business in the summer. Why sit at the computer when I can go to the forest! ride a bike! visit the bird family I found with four baby birds in the nest! or just hang around and try out new ice cream flavours!
I hope you all are having a glorious summer :)
