About Me

I'm a 29 years old girl, originally from Finland but moved to England in early 2008 to live with my boyfriend. Currently I'm living with my boyfriend and his family and their 6 cats near Birmingham, but we're hoping to get our own place eventually. I'm a fangirl with an unhealthy obsession to the tv series 'Supernatural'. I love reading, taking photographs, Aikido (I'm currently a blue belt), crocheting, cooking & baking, watching movies... I'm also a tea addict and drink silly amounts of tea.

Postcards

I love to swap postcards. Some of my favourite themes include

  • maxi cards
  • bicycles
  • lighthouses
  • trains
  • people, especially in traditional costumes
  • houses, cottages, windows, doors, narrow streets, street scenes...
  • lavender
  • maps
  • mail boxes and post offices, anything mail related
  • squirrels and chipmunks
  • wolves
  • autumn colours
  • food, recipes, sweets, chocolate, berries, fruits etc.
  • teapots/tea/coffee

I prefer single view cards, although I do have a soft spot for postcards showing multiple items (like lots of different fruits, teapots etc). I like my postcards written and stamped, not unwritten in an envelope.
