Hello, I'm Caroline.

I live in the south of the Netherlands, near Belgium.
I'm 57 years old, married for 36 years (husband is also 57) and we have 2 children by our own: a boy aged 28 and a girl aged 25, they live outside. Than we have 3 parttime fosterchilds: a girl aged 35, born and living in Berlin, a boy aged 20 (dutch), living now in a familyhouse, but he has lived for 10 years by us. And another girl, aged 21, who lived a half a year by us and now she lives in her own appartement in Eindhoven. The german girl is coming 1 or 2 times a year for holiday and we also went to Berlin once (or more) a year. (Darum ist es für mich gut, wann du mir in deutsch schreibt). The dutch boy and girl comes 1 weekend every month and some holidays. Our own children coming very oft at home, fortunately!
We have a very lovely dog (Labradoodle), her name is Truus . When I go working she goes with me, so I have a office-dog ;). But we went oft to the woods for a walk.
In my free time I'm helping in the local playground and once a week I go swimming with disabled persons. I like cycling and take time to drink on a terrace or eat in a good restaurant. And I also like to go to the theatre for stand-up comedy or musicals. Yes: I enjoy life.

I'M TOTALLY MAD ABOUT RETRO. One room in my house seems like the '70's (but also the 50's and 60's are very great!)
So I MOST LIKE postcards with a vintage or retro print.
- Reprints of old advertisements
- Vintage filmposter
- Jukebox
- 60's rooms
- Old motorcycles / cars
Other cards I like:
- Teapots
(At home I collect teapots from all over the world. So postcards with
teapots or tea-related things are also very welcome).
- Abstract art (Mondriaan, Corneille, Picasso, but also Andy Warhol and
Keith Haring)
- Optical illusions
- Rubber ducks
- Jokes (funny things that make me smile)
- Snoopy (Peanuts)
- Musicals (Lion King, Wicked, Mary Poppins, Sister Act,
Mamma Mia, Tarzan, Sound of Music and more)

I hope you find a card from my wishing-list, but... of course I'm happy with every card you send me with love, hi, hi. If it's not a card from my wishinglist, please tell me why you choose that card for me.
MAYBE YOU CAN BETTER SAVE YOUR TOURISTIC CARDS WITH CITYVIEUWS AND MORE, FOR OTHER POSTCROSSERS, WHO LOVED THEM MORE.
I don't like free cards, sorry (only self-made teapots, if you can?)

I prefer my cards (full) written and stamped. NO ENVELOPES please.
Thank you for understanding.

Happy postcrossing!
