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.
Got a stack of old musical magazines from the 70s (Krugozor). They each have several flexi discs inside, and the covers are nice and very colorful.
Vintage tea box from the Soviet Union, 1950s ()
I have the very same tea box from my grandparents! I use it as my default box for loose green tea. I love it. Mine has less color left in it though, it’s almost silver. I was quite surprised to find out that it was originally yellow. :)
All suitcases are up in the shop! I repeat suitcases are in the shop!
(Please note the 2 week shipping prep. We don’t have boxes this size at the PO so I will have to get creative.)
Sorting through my new finds today. These are all minicards from the 60s! So thrilled to have found them; these are rare.
Most of these are May Day cards and a bunch are for New Year’s.
