About Dominique...

Born 1950 , i'm a retired civil servant and I've been living in Paris,France since 1991..
I love living in a large city .

I'm keen on fishkeeping and I have two large planted tanks. a 150l one with beautiful golden gouramis and a 300l one with fancy goldfish.
I also have two black cats and one of them enjoys sleeping on the larger tank . lol

I have a dog too , a yorshire terrier called Aldo who's 12 years old . He belonged to an aunt of mine who died a few years ago and I kept him with me . we get on well and he's my special exercise coach : I have to walk him around the place two or three times a day . I don't walk much these days because of knee problems.

It took the cats a whole week to get used to the dog and they're still cautious but manage to live together ...

I used to make bobbin lace but had to give up because of back problems .
I have small collections of lacebobbins, frogs , small Father Christmas figures and decorated pencils I bring back from museums and monuments.

I love books and magazines of all kinds ( I coudn't live without anything to read) .. at the moment Sci-Fi and fantasy are favorites ..
and I relish spending hours reading . That's the good part of living on one's own ..... nobody's complaining and the cats usually join me on the couch .

I spend quite some time on Instagram . my favorites at the moment : aboriginal works of art , african antiques, paintings and 18th century dresses .

I 'd love to receive :

from Finland :
. Inge Löök old ladies.(i've already got some. have a look at my received postcards please ...)
. the cursing hedgehog by MILLA .

from Japan:
- sumo pictures
- japanese textiles and embroideries or traditionnal buildings and clothes

from anywhere else (no precise order )
. lighthouses
. ancient and traditional sailing ships
. birds . I prefer paintings or drawings or watercolours .
. maps of country or state or town
. fun postcards
. cows .
. poppies.
. cathedrals
. people
. ancient ceramics

I love having a pretty stamp on the card.

If it's not what you feel like sending , do it your way ... any postcard will be appreciated
My wall of favorites shows I have very ecclectic tastes .
