About Eija...
I´m a grandmother from the westcoast of Finland, 55 years old,but still so young..!! married. Work as a nurse in a physiology lab.
I`m also a humble servant of my 16y.o. stubborn but definitely cute and charming Cat Lady.
My home town,Old Rauma, was chosen for the UNESCO´s WHS in 1991.
I´m a dreamer and romantic person, artistic and very poetic..and interested in different cultures of faraway countries. Besides, I have a good sense of humor,too.. And really LOVE postcards :D, I always have. I love collecting them and especially sending.
My hobbies are in addition to postcards mainly reading ,practically all sorts of literature!!!.I`m also a big fan of Harry Potter or Paulo Coelho for instance...
I`m an outdoor person,love walking in forest,hiking in the mountains or just sitting by the sea doing nothing, just listening to winds whistling or looking at the sunsets glittering on the waves. Love nature,especially a winter, snow and snowfall. The ALPS are my great passion!!! I`m very much fond of traveling and nowadays also postcrossing.I really have enriched my life via Postcrossing!! My most biggest dream is walking along the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela someday... On top of everything else I`ve had one sponsored child in Kenya for years, a girl 8y.o.
Some ideas for cards: ( not in order of importance )
* beautiful and touching ART of painting
* something SPECIAL and UNIQUE from your country/city/town/village
* panorama street views
* ancient MAPS or otherwise fascinating and special MAP CARDS
* interesting churches,castles,monasteries,buildings
* vintage cards * the Fifties
* any postcard with a famous actor from the 40s to the 60s
* the Royal Families / palaces

* OLD-FASHIONED angel, Easter or Christmas cards,also religious
* UNESCO WHS
* mountains, waterfalls,rain forests, jungles, deserts

* breathtakingly beautiful scenery,also winter views
* Birds,especially owls and penguins
* national costumes, indigenous people
* wild animals or rare wild flowers,TYPICAL of your country
* children, old ladies
* simply - a joy and beauty of life !!!
* By checking out my favorite album on my wall you`ll get an idea what I like
* I would prefer cards which are dated, stamped and full-written.
Maybe you could write something about a card,your daily life or your dreams. Some poem or aphorism would be great too.
* a beautiful stamp,matching with the postcard if possible,would be great!! Thank you.
Certainly I will be happy from every postcard,EXCEPT AD/FREE or self made cards, sorry!!
Can`t wait hear from you
