About Lydia...
Hello there! I'm Lydia, I'm 28 and I live in the Netherlands. I share my home with my husband and our grumpy old cat. I studied Literature and now work as a journalist and editor.
I have no demands when it comes to what kind of postcards you can send me and how. I will love any kind of card and love to be surprised. However, if you do like a little more guidance in picking out a card, here are things I like:
- Books.
- Famous (or not so famous!) writers, especially from your country or region.
- Beautiful old buildings, preferably local.
- Paintings and other works of art. Extra points for portraits of royalty.
- For the Finnish: I really love Akseli Gallen-Kallela's paintings of scenes from the Kalevala.
- Anything and everything British.
- Doctor Who, Harry Potter and Walt Disney.
- Vintage style cards.
- Historical figures, especially women who did something special in times when men generally ruled the world.
If you are stuck on what to write about, I would love reading about your favourite book or film, or about a historic event in your area. :)
