Country: China

I see this cars as an abstract pattern of Chinese national symbols.

In case with this card I like here a backside. It's cool when people write interesting information. For example, this postcrosser shared with me which places I should visited if I travel to China. It's helpful!

Oh, I so like different traditional patterns! Gzhel and Khokhloma are my favourites, maybe it's cause they both are Russian, it's so close to me.

Khokhloma or Khokhloma painting is the name of a Russian wood painting handicraft style and national ornament, known for its vivid flower patterns, red and gold colors over a black background, and the effect it has when applied to wooden tableware or furniture, making it look heavier and metal-like

Happy colours of Ukraine

Country: Ukraine

Here is a traditional greetings card from Ukraine. It seems that after looking on it I should go to Ukraine as soon as possible :) but actually I want to visit Belarus's neighbour.

I like this country, its colours and patterns.

Also I see here a new Ukrainian stamp! It's quite big, beautiful and interesting:

Auseklis (The Morning Star), Latvia

Postcard ID: LV-156631
Country: Latvia

As per sender the morning star is the symbol of star in Latvian culture.

Auseklis is the Morning Star (Venus). Her rays protect sleeping souls from the forces of evil. The eight-pointed symbol of the star is used in magical rites, and you must draw this symbol without lifting your hand (in one go) if your spell is to have the desired results!

I receive postcards from neighbor so rarely, so this is the first Latvian stamp in this blog:

Ukrainian national embroidery

This postcard came to me from Yuliia. She like to embroider so decided to share with me an element of Ukrainian national embroidery. By the way I also like cross stitch :)

As I said before, Ukrainian and Belarusian national patterns are similar, for example, colours, forms, motives. Slavic cultures, yeah :)
