About Sirkku...

Receiving a postcard is a great joy!

Particularly I love stamps. Though I have never bothered (to learn) to collect them I admire the pictures and cultural messages they reveal.
I am not picky about cards :-) but I truly like the traditional postcards that tourists send. You know, showing the main railwaystation, the market place. Name of the city printed to the card with curly letters ...
I am also very interested in sovereigns meaning your kings, royal families and presidents as well.

No envelopes please. Let the travel show.
I scan all the postcards that I send, please do the same if you can. IF you don't' have a scanner, just send the card and I'll do it - Photos take too much time and seldom work out well :-)

I love choosing postcards. I always try to get the right card and stamp for the right person. As you know sometimes it is easy, sometimes very hard. I have a nice collection of postcards as I have been buying them since 80's. it is just a lovely feeling when you read the profile and suddenly figure out that you already have a card for him/her, bought years ago.

I register postcards as soon as I receive them. My second home is in London, but I hardly ever stay there more than two weeks a month so my postcards don't really get piled.

Every expired card makes me sad - and a bit angy. About 5% of cards go missing... If the card you have sent me has already or is very close to be expired, just send me an email, I'll register but only if you have scanned it.

Please notice that I am not into direct swaps generally, but if you wish to do a swap with maxicards or postal stationery, drop me a line.

If you live in Russia I would love to receive postcards showing beautiful metro stations of Moscow. Also would love to receive vintage USSR postcards.
