About ichabodhides...

Hello from England!

I'm a 27 years old girl, originally from Finland but moved to England in early 2008 to live with my boyfriend. Currently I'm living with my boyfriend and his family and their 6 cats, but we're hoping to get our own place eventually. I'm a fangirl with an unhealthy obsession to the tv series 'Supernatural'. I love reading, Aikido, watching movies (Tim Burton is my favourite director), listening to music (my favourite band is Nightwish, and I love metal, movie soundtracks...)... I'm also a tea addict and drink silly amounts of tea.

I'm happy to receive all kind of cards, so please don't feel like you must send me a card that matches my wishlist - as long as it's a postcard, I'll be fine :). The list below has just some themes I particularly like:

- books, libraries, people reading
- squirrels
- chipmunks
- raccoons
- meerkats
- autumn colours
- Nouvelles Images cards
- aikido
- Samurai
- food, recipes, sweets, chocolate, berries, fruits etc.
- tea/coffee
- teapots
- black and white photography
- vintage/retro images
- Alice in Wonderland
- children's book illustrations
- bicycles
- maps
- mail boxes and post offices, anything mail related
- mosques
- Unesco World Heritage Sites
- a house or houses, cottages, windows, doors, narrow streets, street scenes...
- people from your country, especially in traditional clothing
- historical buildings
- lighthouses
- night views
- sunsets/sunrises
- cherry blossoms
- beautiful sceneries and scenic views
- rainbows
- universities
- rubber ducks
- fantasy
- Anne Taintor cards
- Inge Löök's illustrations
- Virpi Pekkala's illustrations
- wolves
- penguins
- hedgehogs
- sheep
- dragons
- vampires
- cards from my favourites in my postcard wall

but like I said, anything will be welcome (although if at all possible, I'd rather not have multiviews or postcards with Christian themes, babies or clowns)! I prefer cards written and stamped, not in an envelope, but if you want to put your card in an envelope, that's fine too. I love pretty stamps as well!

It'd be nice if you could write more than just "Greetings from X" on the card, though; I love fully written cards! If you have trouble thinking of what to write, tell me for instance what has made you happy recently, what kind of books you like to read, what you see outside your window, what's your happiest memory, what you love or hate the most about where you live, what's your favourite food...

Erityistoive suomalaisille: jos onnistut löytämään sauna-aiheisen kortin, olisin kovin iloinen! Ja kaikki Lappi-aiheinen kiinnostaa myös kovasti, samoin Suomi Collection -korttisarjan neliökortit. :)

NOTE to DUTCH users: Could you please write the postcard ID on the bottom of the card? TNT Post in the UK sometimes stick return labels on the top right corner of postcards and they are fairly large; I wouldn't want them to cover the ID (they already cover the stamps :( ). Thank you.
