As for postcards, I really like (in no particular order):

- cards that show something significant for the area where you live (yes, I like nice touristy cards, single views if possible);
- watercolour city views;
- foggy/misty city views;
- Nouvelles Images, Limoon
- unusual street sculptures;
- cards with people in traditional clothing and indigenous people;
- cottages, houses, castles, streets;
- poppies, especially close-up views;
- dragons (I was born under this sign :)
- black and white cards with a splash of colour;
- umbrellas;
- bicycles;
- snowmen (any time of year :))
- shoes;
- BETTY BOOP;
- Where's Wally/Waldo Now? cards
- Kaj Stenvall;
- Old Ladies by Inge Löök (I have 45110, 50326, 54012);
- maps with the highlights of the area, esp. US state maps (I'd love to have a map card from each US state :) So far I have https://picasaweb.google.com/117747502263246719131/USAStateMapsCollection;
- How to be British postcards :o) (Hooray! I've received my first one - #3)
- British Royal family (my latest passion :o))
- Fiep Westendorp cards
or if you have a card from my favourites album, it would make my day to receive it :o)

Of course these are just some ideas and you might want to surprise me with something completely different :) So send me a card you think I might like but please refrain from sending handmade cards (unless they're good enough to be sold in a shop :), religious cards, ad/free cards, own printed photos or greetings cards (seasonal/holiday cards). I don't send them either unless specifically requested.
And please NO magazine clippings pasted onto a piece of paper, pieces of cereal boxes, etc. Thank you very much :)

I try to register all cards as soon as I receive them but if you have sent me a card and it has not been registered in a reasonable time feel free to contact me.

Have Fun!
