Hello! My name is Melanie. I live just outside Bristol in a small village on the coast. I love singing, dancing, reading and learning new crafts (such as crochet, sewing and making jewellery).

You could write to me about yourself, your town, a good book you have read, the best thing about where you live or your favourite quote. Or you can write to me about what you have done today - it's always great to hear about people's everyday lives.

I would love to receive any postcards, particularly of your favourite place, art, book illustrations (especially classics and children's books) or vintage postcards and especially ones which show something that is traditional or typical of your country or culture.

Very specific things that I would love to get on a postcard include:
Map cards
Alice in Wonderland
Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings
The Wizard of Oz
Jane Austen
Little House on the Prairie (books)
Fairy tales or a traditional story from your country
Children's book illustrations
Studio Ghibli
Impressionist paintings (Van Gogh, Monet, Degas, Renoir)
Japanese woodblock prints
Hokusai
Portuguese / Moroccan tile patterns
Cherry blossom
Ballet
Crochet
Embroidery
Collections of themed objects (e.g. An artistic collection of blue or pink objects)
Quotes from books, famous people or sayings / proverbs (please translate into English on the back)
UNESCO Heritage sites
Historic buildings or monuments
Something that is typical of your country or culture (e.g. craft, costume)
Your favourite place (tell me more about it on the back of the postcard)

But I also love the surprising variety of different postcards that I've received through here!
