About Lena...

Hi Everyone!

I'm so enthusiastic about this whole idea of sending postcards that it's difficult to put it into words... I have always adored giving cards (greeting cards in most cases though) and recently I started making cards of my own (to my closest friends and on special occasions). I'm really into it. I'm sure I'll enjoy this new way of communication and making others happy!

I'm a teacher. I teach English as a foreign language at a university and commercial courses part-time. I look pretty young or at least not very teacher-like :) and most of my students first get surprised (you should see the looks on their faces:))But I'm already used to it and feel OK about it. I've been teaching for 4 years now and am very enthusiastic about the language I teach, the people I meet and work with, employing new methods and generally having fun in classroom alongside with learning!

I adore postcards! Particularly, the ones that are not very bright and colorful. Black-and-white, sepia or vintage/retro cards would be perfect!!! Anything in rather faded, soft and pale colors would be excellent too! ^_^

I don't want to seem very picky (which I'm actually not), but these are some images that are extremely pleasing to my eye:
- a cup of coffee / tea ;
- newspapers / magazines / books;
- couples, love, friendship;
- Moomins please-please-please :) I just love them!;
- paintings in watercolors;
- Inge Löök;
- a postbox;
- letters, stamps and beautiful stationery;
- mills;
- illustrations from children books, fairy tales, cartoons;
- people (Sherlock Holmes, Charlie Chaplin, ...);
- food / recipes;
- hot air balloons and bicycles;

* I'm NOT particularly interested in multi-view cards,monuments and city views and other typical touristy cards ))

** I also love green in all its natural hues and tints. So you are very much welcome with anything from this palette ;)

I'm looking forward to getting your card. Thank you in advance!

Happy Postcrossing and Best season's greetings from Belarus,

Lena
