About Johanna...

Hi, I'm Johanna, 34 y.o. librarian. Some of the things I love are history, nature, lighthouses, autumn, penpalling and reading. My fave books are J.R.R. Tolkien's and Terry Pratchett's novels. The original Star Wars movies are my favorites (I have always been a Han Solo -girl :D) and my favorite actor is Sean Bean (I just love his "Sharpe" movies. ^^)

If you are interested in seeing what kind of postcards I really like, there's some examples in my "Postcards wall" in the "favorites" part. :)
(Or here in my Flickr favorites http://www.flickr.com/photos/40899770@N05/favorites/ )

I love postcards about
- adult fairies (I have all C.M. Barker's Flower fairies from the postcard book already :)), mermaids
- people with umbrellas
- lighthouses
- beautiful landscape views, like mountains, lakes and lone trees (I love colorful views ^^)
- "real" wild owls, penguins, polar bears, puffins, marmots, foxes, small colorful birds
- small fishing villages
- adults in love (esp. b&w)
- barns, covered bridges
- Australia - I have always been fascinated by that country ^^
- indigenous people
- ordinary people doing every-day things; people working for example
- castles, ruins, dolmens, stone circles
- colorful doors, windows, shop fronts
- women, pin-ups, erotic, nudes
- Alphonse Mucha
- Amy Brown, Thomas Kinkade, Jessica Galbreth, Linda Ravenscroft, Jean Babtiste Monge, Selina Fenech
- "Happy Bunny"
- Nouvelles images "multiples"
- Gary Larson type of humor (you know, this style http://dismanibus156.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/the-far-side.jpg ^^
- b&w cards of cats (I'm sorry if that sounds picky, I just like cats in B&W ^^)
- lights in snow (but please no Christmas cards)
- sheep and cows as "part of scenery"
- lonely, deserted places

but I will of course like anything you send me. ^^
(Though - I would prefer *not* to receive old cards, ads, babies & random art - maybe you could save them for people who like them. :))

From Finland I absolutely love Wendelin, Virkkukoukkunen, L.Peltola, R. Nokkala, V. Pekkala, Edelfelt, K.Toivanen, Railin Runokortit, Torpan tarinat (besides the ones mentioned above, of course). ^^ Ja miusta on mukava lukea lomakuulumisia kotiin lomareissulta mukana kulkeutuneelta kortilta, jos ylimääräisiä on sattunut jäämään lähetettäväksi. :) Ja nätit luontoaiheiset maisemakortit ovat aina tervetulleita. ^^

Have a nice day! ^_^
