Hello! My hobbies include stamp collecting, postcard collecting, papercrafts of all sorts, needlework (crochet, knitting, cross-stitch, anything to do with yarns or threads, actually). I love flowers, butterflies, dragonflies, ladybugs, birds, tiny green, blue or red frogs, giraffes, sheep, baby animals, waterfalls, rainbows, clouds or sky view, trees, architecture, map cards, calendar cards (these are usually vintage postcards), hearts and "LOVE" postcards. Fave COLORS are pinks/mauves, royal blue, ivory, and emerald green. I also love Autumn colors, the colors of the leaves on the trees during Fall. I love anything of the actress Audrey Hepburn. Also looking for the silver Queen Elizabeth Jubilee stamp of her reign.

I love postcards with any of my favorite things up above. I also enjoy postcard "maps" and "calendars" (I don't see them much anymore) or anything that tells me about where you live in this great big world. My latest wants are flowers, city skylines, especially of skyscrapers from places such as Toronto, Canada; Shenghi, China; Hong Kong; Malaysia; Sydney, Australia, Singapore, Dubai, Paris etc., "Greetings from..." and any modern architecture. But of course, I would love anything that you choose to send.

I love the Bible and Scriptures so inspirational postcards are fine. Or an encouraging or inspirational quote from your religion/spiritual walk would be lovely to read, too! ❤️

I love beautiful stamps! My topical favorites are FLOWERS 😍, postage stamps with a heart in their illustration, "LOVE", architecture, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria, letter/mailbox, doors, windows, illustrations, butterflies, ladybugs, book images, poetry, quotes, greetings, Charlie Brown/Snoopy, your country's children stories, and nature images... I love stamps from Japan because of their colorful illustrations but also for their fun shaped stamps! Do you have stamps that are not square or rectangular? No worries if not. I will love any shaped stamp especially if of my topical interests. 😊

If you create beautiful handmade postcards, I'm happy to enjoy them, too. Just be sure to use a good adhesive or place the postcard in an envelope to protect it. I've received some beautiful handmade cards but our postal system can be hard on them so protecting them in an envelope is desirable so that I can enjoy your creation as you intended it, not ripped by our mail sorter machines.

Also, if you put your return name and address on your postcard it gives me the opportunity to send a postcard to you in return!

Please date your postcard. ❤️
