About Minna...

LONG PROFILE WARNING :D
Hello!
This is Minna from Leppävirta, Finland. I am middle-aged, but my two wild sons (born 2004 and 2008) keep me young. Cat in my avatar is Tilli, 16 years old female cat. I enjoy being outdoors, picking mushrooms and berries, cross-country skiing, hiking and walking in nature, but I am not a sportswoman ;-) I have also many indoor hobbies like watching movies, reading, eurobilltracking and, of course, postcrossing :) I read everything from Jane Austen and Haruki Murakami to Neil Gaiman and Iain Banks. In general, I am a huge friend of science fiction movies and novels. On the other hand, if I should watch only few films for the rest of my life, I would pick something from David Lynch, Krzysztof Kieślowski and Aki Kaurismäki. Monty Python and The Far Side best describe my sense of humor. I collect telephone cards.

If you have difficulties finding a card for me, here come some hints.

- Cinema, movie posters, movie stars, movie scenes
- vintage reprints (old advertisements, posters, magazine covers...)
- umbrellas, parasols
- bird house, nest box (linnunpönttö)
- black and white photography in general
- famous tv, movie characters and comic book characters(please write a little bit about the characters!)
-cats (photos, art, drawings, humor, and I love Kliban's cats.)
-children book illustrations
-Moomins
-Angry birds
-book covers
-Naïve art
-circus
-toys
-Cows, cattle
-Eurovision song contest
-space, universe, galaxies, science fiction
-details of nature; "scientific" or herbarium-style plant cards, macroscopic and microscopic close views of insects etc.
-Cards from Nouvelles images, Atelier Nouvelles Images, Kuvaris, Inkognito, Aquarupella, Art Unlimited are marvellous!
-something very special to your country or area you live (animals, nature, people, vehicles, food, drink... )
-traffic signs
-"notorious people", those who once were celebrated by all, now disliked by most, doping-athletes etc.
-my Postcrossing favorites or alike

I enjoy reading whatever you write on the card. If you don't know what to write, please tell me your favourite books/authors or films. Nice stamps make me very happy :) I want my cards written! Envelope or not - that is up to you.

Ad or free cards related to my hobbies or fields of interest are welcome. Otherwise, please, not.

I have collected some of my Postcrossing cards by themes here:

Suomalaiset. Jos teillä on vanhoja, myös lähetettyjä, kortteja kotikunnastani Leppävirrasta, niin ottaisin mielelläni kokoelmaani.
