I'm a postcard collector.

Because of that I'd rather have store-bought postcards.

My favourite postcard layout is one picture with as little text and embellishments as possible.

Notes about Christmas cards:

1. I prefer written & stamped postcards;

2. Please NO religious themes!

3. Favourite themes are Christmas trees, birds and birdhouses, children, Christmas ornaments, snow, snowflakes, squirrels, that type of thing.

My favourites on Flickr ※ My postcards for trade

Please write as much as you can on the back of the postcard, tell me about your day, about something that made you smile. I absolutely love reading messages on postcard - it's one of the biggest reasons why I only collect postcards that have been sent 'naked'. ;D

Some of the themes I'm particularly fond of:

• ★ lavender
• ☆ meadows
• ★ herbs
• ☆ seaside, beach, palm trees on the beach
• ★ fruit and berries
• ☆ sweet food and food in general
• ★ anything kawaii
• ☆ narrow streets
• ★ Christmas postcards (welcome at any season! :D)

Also! If you happen to have old unwanted Christmas postcards (written&stamped) I'd be happy to take them from your hands. :] I promise to take care about them, put them into albums, in chronological order.

Dislikes:

multiviews, portraits, animals (I do like birds though!), big borders and huge letters around the picture, Halloween

Tea: Please no green or red teas, I don't like them. Disliked flavours are mint, lemon, cinnamon and vanilla. Now that we're done with bad things, let's move on to those enjoyable. My favourite tea flavours are blackberry, orange, passion fruit, indian spice, blue cornflower, thyme. I like fruit and herbal teas a lot, esp. if they're mixed with black tea. I also like rooibos. My tea wishlist consists of one item: lavender tea. I saw it on amazon, but I've never seen it here!

Food: I have no food allergies.

Food dislikes: anything mint; liquorice and most other chewing candy; liquor-filled chocolates; coffee; seafood.

Food likes: everything else. :D I like chocolate a lot. My favourite fruity flavours are banana, peach and strawberry. We get some foreign brands of food here in St. Petersburg, but mostly I guess it's safe to send whatever is typical for your area.

Other ideas: I love antique and vintage things. I learn Korean, and I love all things Japanese and Korean (esp. 'kawaii'). If you happen to know Korean, write me something by hand - I'd appreciate that. :)

Eternal Summer, Donnie Darko, Love Actually, Beautiful Mind, Fight Club

I'm 26 and my native language is Russian. I'm hugely into USSR and all things Soviet. I do enjoy vintage things in general, esp. the 50s. My friends and I are doing a 50s party for the New Year's Day. :D New Year's Day is my favourite holiday. In Russia, we celebrate Christmas on January 7 and it's a purely religious holiday, NY's is the biggest holiday of the year. I don't mind you wishing me Merry Christmas though, I automatically translate it as "Happy New Year". :P
