Men’s traditional dresses always look more confortables than women’s! I love the samovar in the last stamps. Those must be impressive pieces of art. LikeLike Reply

Natty hats for the Finnish couple. She look as though she is wearing fingerless gloves, very practical for the Karelia winter. LikeLike Reply
