About Me

Hi there.

What shall I tell you about me?! I love postcards and handpicked stories. Surprise me with a little anecdote of everyday life. Combined with a picture on the back and a stunning stamp up in the right corner. Sounds perfect to me!

No anecdote?! Well here are some ideas: How would you describe your victory dance? What do you think of spinach? What comes into your mind when you think of (Heinz) ketchup?... Any questions? Ask me.

By the way I love everything from before the 1960s. I am always on the hunt for vintage curiosities like snapshots of everyday life, newspaper comic strips, popular science charts, as well as fashion magazines with stunning adverts, matchbox labels or cigarette cards and stamps. Oh and I am fan of gentlemen in suits, cocktails, showgirls or pin ups, which make me smile.

What else?! If there is time I dive into books. How to describe my taste? Imagine Mandy Robotham meets Deborah Levy for a coffee and from time to time people like Lauren Elkin, Louise Fein or A.J. Pearce join the conversation. Sometimes I just buy a book, because of the great cover. Another thing I really love is going to the theatre..you wont believe how much I enjoyed watching Cabaret and a baller by David Dawson lately. Favorite movies?! Breakfast at Tiffany's, It's a wonderful Life, Mary Poppins...a bit newer...Life of Walter Mitty, Amsterdam and Perfect Days.

Because I spend far too many hours in front of the screen, I enjoy walking in the countryside with my little sausage dog. Or you can find me swinging around, as I simply love to dance.

Well, I hope I could give you a foggy hint about myself. I am looking forward to hearing from you and even more to getting to know you. Smiles, Joana

PS.: Still unsure what to send? Well here are some more hints: washi tape - vintage ephemera - old adverts from the 1920s to 1950s - vintage travel posters, maps, and aerograms - B&W - sausage dogs & forest animals - espresso with a dash of hot milk - Heinz ketchup & colourful curries - book or magazine covers - natural science charts - WWI & WWII military history - typography - fashion & design - Art Deco & Bauhaus (1920s-30s) - Space Age (1950s-60s) - woodlands - weird, vintage cartoons by Hanna-Barbera (The Jetsons, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, Yogi Bear), odd or risque humor - Pin Up & naughty postcards that make the postman blush - surprises.

P.P.S.: At this point I should admit a few DISLIKES: touristic postcards or Zazzle & brownish faked retro postcards please not for me. I am not interested in Disney, Hello Kitty, Zentagle or Color-In, creepy dolls, cute illustrations, religious or spooky themes. Oh and I don't need scrapbooking & craft supplies & paper. Sorry, I dont want to sound complaining.

Comment: Magirology is a great word for cooking. It has the ring of ancient sciences and clever secrets. Magicology should also be a word for it too. Tasty magic would be my favorite science.

Comment: Vielen lieben Dank für die schöne Karte. Mich hat heute viel Nichtstun glücklich gemacht, sowie dass noch leckeres Essen von gestern als Rest im Kühlschrank war, und dass mein Nachbar mir unser örtliches Käseblatt vor die Tür gelegt hat. Nun bin ich auf dem Weg zum Wochenmarkt und werde mich nochmal mit vielen bunten Vitaminen eindecken.

Comment: It doesn't get much better than a hot pink nanner card! I am currently reading The Dead by Charlie Higson. I am on a mission to a) get my 2024 reading goal, which is lower than usual to begin with, but I've been off my game this year and b) clear my shelves of the books that are TBR that I have NO idea where they came from - The Dead being one such book!

Comment: Thank you, Joana. It was a great card to begin with, but II love your hand-stitched alteration. I've been thinking about doing some embroidery on postcards for a while. Maybe your creation will inspire me to JUST DO IT! Thanks again for brightening my day with your rays of sunshine!

Comment: Hi Joana! I swear mail from overseas gets here faster than from another state. It is amazing. I like the cute envelope you made. The tiger washi is cute and the stamps are great. I love the ephemera you included. I am planning some master boards/collaging soon. Perfect timing. Thank you!

Comment: Thanks so much for the pretty card! Things that made me happy today are my 3 cats and 2 chihuahuas like every day, and finding some fun new music. Also I made pad thai, and it was delicious. :)

I just found and was admiring a summer -themed flipbook you made for a swap in August 2020. It's so lovely and I wanted to tell you that it's still bringing me joy two years later. I hope you're having an amazing vacation!

Thank you Joana for the lovely surprise in the mail that I received today. What delightful goodies inside and the birthday wishes were lovely. I had a great day and my hubby made sure it was special and I got myself a record player and currently listening to Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Sprit. xx

Thank you for the unassigned Postcard Roulette card! I don’t know the artist but I love the art.

Hi Joana. I see you've been playing PC Roulette like crazy! Thanks so much for the lovely John Ryan illustration card. And how nice to discover a new museum! I hope you enjoy fall as much as summer. Best wishes, David

Happy Birthday!

Gatzcat on Jul 17, 2018:

Thank you! I absolutely love the postcard you sent. I even do like the flies. Never would I say this, but they're cute on their. But I don't think flies are cute in real life.

I guess I really am a winner. I got two extra from the PC Roulette Comeback July 2018 swap.

Thanks again!!
