TERVE
("hello" in finnish)!

this project is very exciting indeed because i do love postcards and stamps. :)

my interests include for example photography (especially B&W), cooking, arts in various forms, movies, shoes, poetry and all literature, cats, music, coffee and dark chocolate etc.

i enjoy travelling and getting to know new cultures, languages and people. exploring the world is my passion! can't wait to hear from you.

"WISHLIST":

- nice stamps are always appreciated! i would love the cards to be mailed with beautiful real stamps (not the white stickers from post office). thanks a lot!

- hopefully i don't sound too rude or demanding, but those "traditional" tourist postcards are NOT my favorites at all... :( so, if possible PLEASE try to choose _something else_ than city views, buildings + sights, historical stuff or monuments and things like that. i'm sooooo sorry, but i DO NOT LIKE them too much. other subjects will much more likely put a smile on my face! thank you for understanding. :)

- special wishes:

* black&white photos
* cats
* flowers
* vintage + retro
* erotic
* old movie posters
* people
* food&drink
* cemeteries
* día de los muertos/day of the dead
* other national + international seasonal themes: new year, valentine's day, easter, halloween, thanksgiving, christmas etc.
* "hello kitty"
* "miffy" (or in dutch "nijntje")
* "the little polar bear"

- in case you like to find out more about my preferences, feel free to take a look at the "favourites" section on my postcard wall! any kind of card in the mailbox is always a great pleasure though. just send something that you think might make my day...

- if you want to make me especially happy, use an envelope and send me an interesting article (and/or picture) from a newspaper or a magazine along with your postcard! that would be so awesome and i will be very grateful for your time and effort.

- actually using an envelope is a great idea anyway, because the cards are all too often damaged in the mail...

- please do not publish the text side of my sent postcard anywhere. i'd like to share it just with you, not with everybody surfing the web. thanks! adding the picture to the postcard wall is fine with me. :)
