About Iina...

Hi there! :)

I'm in my early thirties and live in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. I work way too much, but I'm trying very hard to change that. I enjoy having good food & wine with friends. I also love skiing and travelling to new places whenever I have a chance.

I can't wait to receive postcards from all over the world and learn a few things about you and find out what's happening in your home town or country.

Here's a list of what type of cards I like, in case you are wondering what kind of postcard you should send me. In general I like single view cards with no text on the picture side of the card. I also like maxi cards. Maxi cards are cards that have a stamp and the first day cancellation on the picture side of the card.

Themes that I like:
Wild animals
Sheep
Cows
Pigs
Donkeys
Frogs
Owls
Puffins
Pandas
Nijntje/Miffy and other D. Bruna characters
Krtek/Mole
Jip & Janneke
Babar
Barbababa
Hello Kitty
Emily the Strange
Calvin & Hobbes
Tintin
Bamse
Moomins (original Tove Jansson's illustratons)
L.J. Vis illustrations
Teddybears (pictures, not drawn)
Hey Ugly
Blythe
Toys
Fruits
Vegetables
Drinks
Wine
Reprints of old advertisements
Public transportation (especially trams)
Cars (especially old ones)
Old towns/narrow streets
Close ups of doors & windows
Any nice photograph (especially close-ups)
Anything odd/unusual

I would also love to receive any of these cards: http://www.flickr.com/photos/iinaj/favorites/

Please feel free to send me any kind of card you like, especially the kind of card you think should be in my wish list. :)

I would love to receive the postcards written and stamped (no envelope). I also collect stamps and therefore appreciate beautiful stamps and hand cancellations.

Here you can see my favourite received cards.

Thank you very much! Can't wait to receive you card!

Suomesta haluisin mm. muumeja (toven originaalit), kiroilevia siilejä, viivejä & wagnereita, Stenvallin ankkoja sekä Julia Vuoren, Heli Pukin ja Mauri Kunnaksen teoksia. Suomalaisten (tai miksei ulkomaalaistenkin) valokuvaajien töistä tehdyt kortit kiinnostaa myös kovasti. Eniten pidän korteista, joissa ei ole tekstiä kortin kuvapuolella. Jos onnistut saamaan korttiini käsi- tai erikoisleiman tulen ikionnelliseksi. ;)
