Hello from New Zealand! I have enjoyed letter writing since I was a child and love collecting postcards and although I don't write many long letters these days this is the perfect way to continue my hobby :o). I have been married for 36 years and live in a small country town at the top of New Zealand's South Island. I love animals (have 2 cats), music, travel, genealogy, pretty stamps, to name a few. I like to watch older TV shows on occasion with my favourites being "Murder, She Wrote", "MacGyver" and "Stargate SG1". Also LOVE the current Canadian TV show "Murdoch Mysteries".

The cards I hope to receive some day are listed under "My Favourites" :o)

Please no weird or ugly cards that have neither meaning nor purpose. I prefer pretty, happy postcards with some of my favourites being:

*Pretty scenery
*Attractive city, village, town views etc.
*Vintage town/city views
*Beautiful winter "Christmas" postcards anytime
*Cats (Domestic)
*Susan Wheeler Bunnies
*Classic Hollywood Legends from the 30's 40's 50's 60's etc.
*Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver/Stargate SG1 TV series)
*Letter Boxes and Lighthouses sound fun to!
*Tausendschon cards are beautiful and very special to :o)
*Royal Family

I LOVE the following cards and should anyone have one of these cards or similar and wants to do a private swap please let me know :o)
