I love to cook (and eat ofcourse), photography, visiting Euro Disney, create both personal and arti stamps, history, genealogy.

If for whatever reason it is difficult for you to find postcards: I do not mind the FREE (Boomerang?) postcards you can get anywhere, as long as the themes are local events, movies, music, museums, or photo's of men on these cards.
Creating your own cards? Great! A real NO are dinosaurs!

NEDERLANDERS: De Efteling, Nederlandse Klederdrachten, Anton Pieck, Rien Poortvliet, Fiep Westendorp, Art Deco, Amsterdamse School, Disney, en boomerang cards die films promoten. Wil je graag je kaarten gescant hebben maar heb je geen scan, scan ze graag voor je.

As for postcards that YOU want: I will always read your profile well. Holland is a country where sending postcards is still a national hobby :-) So I can send you almost anything: from monkeys to goats, from houses to churches, from vintage advertisements to children-book illustrations, from clowns to saints. Beside that, I am able to make my own REAL postcards..!

Countries I visited so far: England, Sweden, Denmark, East/West Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Croatia, Luxemburg, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Belgium

Coming to visit the Netherlands this or next year? Contact me, at least 2-4 wks in advance, maybe I can be your host! No hotel needed! Will also meet you at the airport. Or I can be your tourguide in Amsterdam and show you some fantastic postcard shops.
