Hey Postcrossing friends! My name is Melanie, and I live in a very small community in the Fraser Canyon of British Columbia in Canada. It is land that the Nlaka'pamux Indigenous people s have lived on since time immemorial. I spend a lot of my time on the water or in the mountains, harvesting wild medicines and food with my partner and little dog Dexter.

I spent many years working as an archivist with historical records so I would love any postcards of:

- historical items or places in your country
- museums or archives
- vintage images
- manuscripts or records
- vintage pinups
- maps

I also love:

- the ocean/lakes
- swimming
- sea creatures
- and my favorite: jellyfish!!
- Edward Gorey
- Kathe Kollwitz
- mixed media
- mythology
- shoes!

...but of course I will be thrilled with anything you send me. Handmade also welcome. Please would you write the date on the card? Thanks!

I can't wait to get your postcard!

****If you are sending from Germany, I would LOVE it if you could use the WWI commemorative stamp - 1914 Ausbruch Erster Weltkrieg with the image made by Kathe Kollwitz. She is my favorite artist!
