About Minna...

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, 14 years old female cat. I enjoy being outdoors, picking musrooms and berries, cross-country skiing, hiking and walking in nature, but I am not a sportswoman ;-) My favourite place in the world is forest. Even abroad the most memorable places finally are the parks and forests. 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. My favourite animals are cows and cats. My favourite artists are Navitrolla, Julia Vuori and Martti Lehto. 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, The Far Side, Pahkasika and Studio Julmahuvi best describe my sense of humor. I collect telephone cards.

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

- Cows, cattle
- Cinema, movie posters, movie scenes
- science fiction related cards
- famous tv, movie characters and comic book characters from your country (please write a little bit about the characters!)
-cats (photos, art, drawings, humor, and I love Kliban's cats.)
-children book illustrations
-retro-Moomins
-cards of book covers
-Naïve art (esp. from Finland)
-circus
-toys
-food and drink
-Eurovision song contest
-space, universe, galaxies etc.
-details of nature; "scientific" or herbarium-style plant cards, macroscopic and microscopic close views of insects etc.
-black and white photography in general
-vintage reprints (old advertisements, posters...)
-Nouvelles images and Atelier Nouvelles Images
-Inkognito
-Kuvaris
-something very special to your country or area you live (I have to confess I like more pictures of local animals, nature, people than buildings. Just in case you wonder what to send :) )
-cars, trains and other vehicles somehow related to your country or area you live (my sons will be happy of these cards :) )
-road 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 register all cards as soon as possible. Your card will be in loving hands.

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.
