About Tarya...

NB! I've got quite a few private swap requests but unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment. I'll take care of the swaps I've already agreed on, eventually.. Please send me a message if you haven't received what I've promised to send.

Hi there! I'm happy to be a member of this community :)

I've been collecting postcards for years and now it's even more fun with postcrossing :)

Here's my list of favourite themes:
- golf (game, golf course or map of it, golf club, clothes, equipment, a famous player, an ad card...)
- rabbits and hares
- nature, landscapes, countryside, villages
- old (especially wooden) buildings
- geocaching
- trekking & hiking, camping, outdoor life (people hiking or camping, camping areas, tents, caravans etc)
- anything related to medicine, healthcare and hospitals, including ad cards
- anything on insurances/insurance companies (ad cards too)
- Unesco World Heritage Sites
- Karelia
- old advertisement cards
- cards with strong colours, pictures of rainy/stormy weather or autumn (my favourite season)
- cards that have something to do with handicraft, crocheting or lace
- public transport (trams, trains, buses, taxis), train or bus stations
- cards on forests, forestry and lumber industry (ad cards)
- cards that tell something about your country's history or culture
- cards by artist Martta Wendelin
- anything related to the British tv drama Heartbeat or the surroundings of "Aidensfield" and "Ashfordly" in real life
- sleeping animals/people
- ordinary/plain looking/ugly people (but please, no funny cards)
- cards related to ballet
- cards on the royal wedding in Sweden on 19 June 2010

If you like making cards yourself, you can just draw me a rabbit and send it :)

But, all postcards are welcome - don't worry!!

Rabbit or golf stamps would be a great surprise too, if you happen to have them.

You can write about anything you like but here's a hint: I'd like to know what makes you happy :)

I travel quite a bit so sometimes my cards may be sent from other towns or countries :)

My avatar shows the area in Karelia where my family is originally from (it used to belong to Finland until 1945).

I hope to hear from you soon :) Have a great day!
