About Cátia...

Hello, i am a portuguese woman and i collect many things: bookmarks (my passion), postcards and stamps.

If you can, send the postcards in an envelope, and, if possible, unwritten, but please write a note on paper! I'd love to hear about you or whatever you want to tell. Any size is good, but in good state.I ask the envelope because the cards usually reach me damaged in several ways, and this way they are protected. Also if i already have a postcard, i can use it to someone else if it is not written, so it has a useful destiny.Last but not least, as i collect stamps, i can take them from the envelope.But of course you can send without an envelope and i also know that in some countries you pay more for it.

My favourite themes are all connected to books like libraries, bookshops, writers' photos or houses, etc.

You can see some of the cards i WANT to have, i don't have them yet,in my FAVOURITES list.
