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.
This year’s Russian holiday stamps are so cute! ^_^

Here are this year’s New Year stamps that I’ve just received, and a bit of my current work space. :)

I stocked up on stamps in St Petersburg—just look at these beauties! Our local PO never has any interesting stamps, so I’m super excited :)
In celebration of Cosmonautics Day, I’ll be using these wonderful Valentina Tereshkova stamps to ship orders placed in today, on April 12.
I only have 6 of these, but if there are more orders I have some other nice space-themed stamps. :)
