About Me

I am a wife and mother of two adult children. Since 2015 I have been retired. I love the sea, especially the rough charm of the North Sea.

Hobbies and Interests

  • Photography: Architecture, landscapes, lightmoods, reflections and close-ups belong to my favorite photo subjects.

  • Books: Especially murder mystery and crime novels. Favorite authors among others: Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Mary Higgins Clark, Donna Leon, Charlotte Link.

  • Film/TV: Midsomer Murders/Inspector Barnaby, Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot, Father Brown, Sherlock Holmes (the old series), Death in Paradise.

  • Postcards, all kinds. Favorites include: Map cards, typical houses of your country, shop windows, bookstores, libraries, lighthouses, wind / water mills, snow and snowmen, rain, umbrellas, mailboxes. I love Snoopy, Pettersson and Findus, Atelier Nouvelles Images, The New Yorker ..... and surprises!

    Please no old/used vintage postcards, and also no postcards from the German Harenberg calendars. They are beautiful, but I've got lots of them. Thank you!

  • Seasonal cards, especially for Christmas (postcards and folded cards). All kinds of Christmas themes are welcome. A Christmas stamp on the card or envelope would be great, too.

  • Halloween cards (postcards and folded cards) and spooky films on Halloween.

  • Mail art, handmade envelopes, handwritten letters.

  • Airmail envelopes and airmail labels.

  • Stamps. It would be very nice if you could put stamps on your envelope or postcard instead of postage labels, if possible.

  • ATCs. I discovered them here on Swap-bot.

  • Quotes / words of wisdom.

Some Favorites

  • Seasons: autumn and winter, Christmas time with its joyful spirit

  • Flowers: tulips and red poppies

  • Colors: blue, teal, turquoise and orange, for Christmas red and green or iceblue, but I'm fine with every other color, too.

Not for Me

Please avoid sending me food and drink items. Thank you!

Thank you for the Two Postcards in an Envelope tag. I love the cards & the bits of history you wrote. Hope you're getting some sunshine!
Curiouskitty on Mar 17, 2021:

Hi, a huge thank you for your beautiful envelope filled with beautiful goodies! I loved the postcards, card, bookmarks and washi tape. I plan on using the ephemera in my art journal. I appreciate the tickets & mini cards. I was in Germany so long ago (the year before the wall came down) so I never had the opportunity to go to Berlin. ♥️♥️♥️

Aloha Gittie, Thank you for your note and all the nice things that you sent for the Random Flat Envie - Pay It Forward Tag. So nice to get mail from Germany :) Are the round papers for a particular paper craft?

Hi, Just letting you know I just mailed the postcards for the August PTG WTA today. So sorry for the delay, I forgot until now. I included an extra postcard for the inconvenience. I hope they get to you soon.
