About Elena...
Hi, everyone!
I'm Lena and I'm glad to be here and enjoy this interesting hobby.
I live in Moscow - It's a beautiful city of my childhood...
In my free time I love to sew clothes, toys/dolls and patchwork.
I fond of painting watercolors, making jewelry, like to take photos and make photobooks from country travels. I love to read classic novels in paper books – and try to read not less than 15 books per year.
What else..? 🙃 I like to play guitar and accordion - now about twice a year but with all my soul; like to watch movies and serials (my favorite is F.R.I.E.N.D.S. episodes - these six make me smile even when I'm upset); like to take a walk in the city in a good weather; adore museums and galleries with all it's exhibits, paintings and even souvenirs; I like to cook (especially blini or pancakes) and bake (yummy carrot cake) and make homemade preservations (especially pickled tomatoes and strawberry jam); and of course I like to send and receive post cards - the both things are very exciting and interesting!
I like so many things and here are some favorite themes:
🧵 - Sewing machines, a somebody who is sewing. All things just associated with the sewing and needlework, embroidery;
💎 - Jewelry (jewelry art, beads, gems, bijouterie, AD cards like: Swarovski, FREYWILLE, Tiffany, and so on);
🦒 - Fauna (🦒🧡—lovely giraffes, deers and fawns with cute white spots on their bodies, owls, storks);
🌺 - Flora (peonies, wildflowers, botanical illustrations)
🌳 - Nature (waterfalls, the sun, sunrise);
🎨 - Cute illustrations and watercolors (favorite artists: Beatrix Potter, Inge Löök, Vladimir Rumyantsev, Irina Garmashova, Susan Wheeler);
🧚♀️ - Fairy tails or Disney cartoons (The Snow Queen is my favorite one from childhood, Little Red Riding Hood, Winnie the Pooh, Karlsson-on-the-Roof, Pinocchio, Mowgli, Cinderella, Harry Potter, Mickey Mouse, Tom&Jerry and many others or a character from a local folk tale or cartoon);
🍺 - Alcohol (beer, vodka, whisky, champagne, liquor, cocktail or any famous local drink);
🥨 - Bakery (cakes, cookies, waffles, croissants, donuts and all it with a lot of cream, caramel and chocolate :)) );
🎅 - New Year (New Year and Christmas cards, cute winter illustrations all year long);
🏛- Unique and beautiful architecture (castles, palaces, fortresses, estates, towers, bridges, historical places, city views) in paintings and illustrations or in photos.
Be sure that I will be glad to receive every card of your choice, although, except Halloween cards – they scare me... ))
I'm looking forward to your bright and original postcards and lovely stamps (if it is possible - chose some interesting stamps and don't put the card in the envelope)
Write about yourself and your hobbies, at least a couple of lines...
I wish you all the best and good luck in everything!
Happy postcrossing!
