Hi,

I am a psychiatric nurse, mother of 3 and grandmother of 3.
I live and have lived all my life in Ostend at the NorthSea coast. I love it here and never can go long without the sand, the sea, the dunes.

I am a herbalist, make my own remedies, preferably with things I find in local nature. I also love to craft with materials that had a life before and I am an avid reader but my favorite pastime is beïng with my family.
As for my preference for cards there's a lot of things I like, I just can't name it all.

I think handdrawn cards are very unique and special. So if you like to make your own card, please send one to me. I love mail art!(painting, drawing,collage...)

a very long list of other likes to help you :

Noa's Arc
bicycles
coffee
nurses
saints
mermaids
rain
herbs
tiles and fabric
(reprinted)vintage advertisements
cards that show multiple objects, collections
art nouveau, art deco
(children's book) illustrations

paintings or drawings of e.g. :
- Ensor (born in oostende!!!)
-Pre-Raphaelites
- reading women
- Mary Cecil Barker
- Irina Petelina
- Carl Larsson
- John Bauer
- Lennart Helje
- Lali riddle
- Inge Löök
- Sven Nordqvist
- Rudolf Koivu
- Colin Thompson
- Albert Anker

I will be happy with any card you send me, the only thing I'm not really interested in are overly 'touristy' cards.

Many thanks in advance and happy postcrossing!
