Hello Postcrossers!

I live in a little town in rural Victoria, Australia, close to Melbourne.

I love sending and receiving mail, sewing and making things, reading, looking for old treasures in thrift shops and markets, vintage fabric and clothing, art, gardening, music and dreaming of trips to exotic places...

I'm really excited to send off some postcards to other locations here within Australia and to far off places around the globe...and of course very excited to receive some too. I love to see the stamps from different countries too!

Any postcard you send will be wonderful! If you would like some ideas, you are welcome to have a look at my favourites, or otherwise, I have made a list below of postcards I would most love to find in the mailbox..

* Birds and butterflies
* portraits of women
* vintage postcards
* postcards with lovely graphics
* Umbrellas, parasols, lanterns
* modern and classical art
* botanical drawings of flowers, gardens etc.
* pattern design such as Marimekko, William Morris etc.
* Nathalie Lete
* Lantern Press
* Japanese themes

You are welcome to write whatever you fancy, however if you don't know what to write, I would love to read about your favourite music, books or movies, tea or something about you and your daily life.

Otherwise, please tell me about where you live please and your country... such as what it is famous for, a popular pass time or a unique tradition, a native animal or bird, food or recipes, a traditional proverb from your country or a poem that you like - whatever you want to write is fine with me!

I look forward to your post card - thank you for brightening up my mailbox :)
