July-Star

Hello!
I'm a Siberian girl who has been brought here and is freezing to death in winters... Oh, these severe Siberian winters - they are really hard to stand. So cold, so monochromic - white sky, white ground and snow-white people.
Summers are absolutely different - it's amazing how the world here is changing in summers! Sun is a great Magician here, it is like a drop of paint added to a glass of pure water and colouring the whole of it …
So, I am just patiently waiting for the summer to come :)

I absolutely love postcards - they remind me of my childhood when I was running every morning to the postbox outside the house to see if any card arrived. In the Soviet times people loved sending postcards - mostly on holidays of course. Now the tradition is almost gone but I think everybody secretely misses it.
So, I'm very happy to participate in this great project.

I love swaps and I like wishlists - they make life easier on the one hand and are extremely challenging on the other because you have to take every effort to find a great postcard here in Siberia. I'm picking up every card so carefully - just for one person in the whole world :)
so, I'm expecting the same devotion to the project from the other participants :)

Here're some things I love and that make me happy

I love roses and amazingly beautiful flowers (lily-of the valley, iris, forget-me-nots, violets and some others)
Africa
Japan
Exotic countries
Any country if you find something really-really beautiful
Map-views of your country or any country you have (especially with landmarks, they give a general view of the country and you learn much faster)
Gorgeous mountains
China - your amazing mountain views in fog
Beautiful views
Sweet food (lovely pictures)
Elephants
Giraffes
Penguins
Hedgehogs
Pandas
Swans
Chocolate
Autumn in all its colours
Children stuff
Murmaids
Old ladies or Moomin (only Moomin, not just characters from the tail) from Finland
Inspirational cards
Wedding cards (I'm newly wed :) and expecting twins)
UK - Royal Wedding, symbols, traditions, landmarks or map cards. I know tourist cards may sound boring to you, but believe me they will be appreciated by those who learn your language and culture.
US - mapcards of the states

Thank you for reading that long!
