Pikkis

I am 51 years old and married. I´ve got two children, a daughter (23) and a son (20). I live in Kuopio, a town with over 100 000 inhabitants, rather in the middle of Finland.

Reading is one of my favourite hobbies. I also like making and trading ATC-cards and mail art, listening to music and Nordic walking.

I love foreign countries and English is my favourite language.

I like animals, especially dogs. We´ve had two German shepherds, but at the moment we haven´t got a dog.

I like many kinds of postcards but I´d be especially delighted to receive a card presenting:
- vintage/old typewriters
- Alice in Wonderland
- German shepherd, dalmatian or any dog at work
- fairies
- an illustration from some children´s book or movie( especially Astrid Lindgren, Elsa Beskow, Roald Dahl, Brothers Grimm, HC Andersen, Wizard of OZ, Narnia etc.)
- Harry Potter
- Lord of the Rings/ Hobbit (movies and books)
- books or reading (no reading animals, please!)
- Nancy Drew
- Frida Kahlo
- London-singleview
- Flavia Romantics- quote cards (in Finnish or in English, if they do exist, I´ve only seen them in Finnish, the text Flavia Romantics reads on the back of the card, you can see my collection in my Flickr-album, link below)
- European Robin, the bird (only realistic images with the bird as the main thing, can be drawn or a photo)
- white Christmas (meaning the main colour of the card is white/sepia white, but no view-cards, please! You can see some examples in my Flickr-album)

From Finland:
- Kalevala
- murteet
- Anna-Mari West
- Ilona Pietiläinen

Here are some of my favourites and my own collections on Flickr and Picasa. More of my favourites can be found on my postcards wall.

PS: If you´re sending me a card from my wishlist and it doesn´t cost you more, I prefer the card sent written/unwritten in an envelope.

I also collect cards for my collecting friends, so if you have a card similar to something in my faves, feel free to send it even if it´s not in my list.
