Hello and welcome to my website. If you want to know more about me, [touch me gently] for more information. This website is set up for one of my oldest and most passionate hobbies- postcard collecting. Here you will find information about me, my postcard collecting hobby and trading information. What you will not read here is what other websites say "my aim is to get a postcard from each country around the globe" (but you have actually just read that, yay me! :D) and similar but obvious information. I'd like to exchange postcards with people from all over the world. Here you can see some samples of what I have for trade; however, I have more than that and can match your preferences. I can send animal (dog and cat, rarely horses) cards in exchange for cards I collect. Many cards in my album are marked as unavailable because the bookshop that had them was closed forever and those cards are not stocked in other bookshops. I will be on the lookout for them, of course.
You send postcards from the country/state you live in! My interests are:
But we can talk about each swap seperately in person. I am willing to do regular or one time swaps of up to 10 (but we can agree and about more) regular size (10x15) postcards to different countries and I prefer to exchange 4 cards only for our first trade. I accept only mint/new postcards. Among that, my meta-preferences would be: 1) Japanese postcards. I am utterly crazy about Nihon! I take everything on it, especially focusing on geisha/maiko, girls with flowers and in kimono/yukata, sakura, castles, shrines, gardens, city views, food, anime and manga, you name it. 2) My favourite period in history is the French revolution. I am a fan of Marie-Antoinette. So if you can forward me postcards on Versailles, Marie-Antoinette, Roccocco period, etc. I'd be happy! 3) Islands. I just love islands. Especially I am interested in receiving postcards from small islands.
I used to be on a variety of lists but this time I decided to finally set up a website for my cause. I don't correspond as much as I used to because of my studies and work, but I still love the feeling of discovering good old regular snail mail in my mailbox early in the morning. I am a light swapper. That means I have 5-6 items in stock of each postcard. I don't feel like making huge stocks for postcards and then have wasted money just because nobody but me likes them. Generally, I can mail your swap the next day -unless that falls on weekend or public holidays- and if you request a swap of the same postcards, that means I would have to go shopping. But that doesn't mean you can't do that- I love shopping! Just your swap might be mailed a bit later, then :-)
