About Jouluruusu1971...

I am Reetta from Finland. I like to hand sew
antique style teddy bears, make miniatures
to my dollhouse, take photographs, take care of my teeny tiny garden, reading poems, listen to a classical music
and I especially love to spend my time in the nature.
My favourite ballet is Manon and my favourite opera is Madama Butterfly. I have three favourite movies: The Piano (Jane Campion), Girl with a Pearl Earring and Memoirs of a Geisha. I suffer from depression and that has a great impact to my daily life.

I have started to collect beautiful prayers from all over the world. If you know one and would like to share it, I would be very pleased to receive it in your own native language. Please, write down the date when you wrote the card, I also appreciate beautiful stamps and I enjoy reading long messages :) !

Please don't send free cards or ad cards, snowy views (too long winter here), snakes or night views to me.(Edited 15.8.2011)
