Hi! I live in Imatra, Finland. I'm a mother of two children. My hobbies are reading, cross stitching, knitting... In the winter I like to ice-skate :) I'd love to receive any kind of cards from you :D Cards that I've got before joining postcrossing have been mainly Christmas cards ;) I'm waiting impatiently what kind of cards and stories you send to me :)

Please write something about yourself, your hobbies, what you like etc. Or write about weather, something about your city, about the card you send. Or perhaps a little poem. Or what comes to your mind when you think about Finland :) anything really. I like little stories ;)

I like beautiful stamps! And especially now from FRANCE those Helsinki stamps!! (I already have one!! : Sibelius monument) :D

I love:
- Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairy Alphabet/ Flower Fairy cards/ or any fairy
( my fairy cards:

- Mythical creatures and unnatural beings 😁

Here's some other suggestions what kind of themes in a card would be nice:
- manga/anime
- cards by Irina Zeniuk 🤗
- fairytale illustrations (Alice in Wonderland, Little Red Riding Hood, Little Mermaid and so on)
- Japanese or Chinese art
- fashion in different decades / centuries
- handicrafts (sewing machine/sewing/spinning wheel / embroidery/cross stitch/knitting/crocheting/fabrics/yarns/buttons etc. )
- cartoons / comics (prefer vintage)
- Totoro and other Studio Ghibli films
- ballet
- ice-skating / roller skating
- sledding /tobogganing/ skiing (cross country, downhill, or just picture of skis :D )
- Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and other "old days" glamour film stars
- Alphonse Mucha, Gustav Klimt, Vincent van Gogh
- old advertisements and posters
- vintage style/real vintage too
- magic eye / optical illusions
- Star Wars, Game of Thrones, James Bond, Harry Potter
- space related
- Circus and amusement park themed

And please can you put a date on your postcard, thanks :)

P.S. If you want to send me an ad-card that has no space to write address or your note, then send it in an envelope with your note written on a piece of paper. Don't cover the text on the card and if the text is in other language than English, then if possible translate it to me in English, thanks ;)

Happy Postcrossing!
