🕊️ *** Praying for peace *** 🕊️

My name is Ola (40 y.o.), I live in Gatchina - near Saint-Petersburg. St.-Petersburg is my native city. During the time that Im in postcrossing, I managed to give birth to a daughter Vlada (now 10 y.o.) and now we are waiting for postcards together :)

We live with 3 charming rats: Belyash, Mikky and Tiffany. We also sheltered the black young cat Push (since May 2020, we took him off the street). Since June 2021 we run an ant farm (we call ant queen Сookie)! We are very fond of animals (and some insects) :D

I like to read, it had been my favorite hobby since childhood. I'm fond of crocheting and knitting (I knit for homeless people), love playing the piano. I'm an amateur photographer. By profession I'm an engineer, I work. + from 2017 I'm the deputy head of a charity fund “Blago Dari” (Gatchina) that helps people in difficult life situations: homeless people, single mothers, families and lonely people with disabilities. I'm a volunteer. I can't stop the war, but I'm trying to make life where I live a little kinder. I trying to make less hell.

You would evoke a wide smile on my face, if send me a card with:
♥ people, faces: black-and-white cards, retro etc;
♥ books (especially old) and people with books;
♥ piano, pianists;
♥ sailors and the sea;
♥ urban sketch;
♥ graphic arts, drawing, illustrations, fairy tales;
♥ watercolor painting;
♥ cozy cards,
♥ black cat;
♥ rats,
♥ nothern nature (Karelia, Sсandinavia, Alaska etc.)
♥ beautiful landscapes from your country (especially forests);
♥ Til Schweiger and his films;
♥ The Lord of the Rings (I read it for the first time in 1992) ♥

and I will be glad to get any card that you like yourself! 💚

I like stamps and appreciate very much the back of the card (with text and stamps), the back is almost as important as the front :)

I will be very happy if you write something about yourself on the card: about your favorite music, the sound of which makes you hold your breath. Or write me about the book which you think I should read. Tell me what your next travel plans are. What made you smile today? Anything interesting about you!
Please, don't send postcards in envelope.
Thank you!

!!! Please, let me know, if your postcard is expired, I'll register it!
