What is shared about oneself:

My name is Françoise, I am a former history and geography teacher, now retired as I am 78 years old. I have lived in China since 1978... I am interested in many things especially history, reading all kinds of books, cooking and baking, correspondence, postcards, nature, animals. I follow the international news with great interest but do not think a postcard site should be an arena for expressing one's beliefs in that field....

Postcard desires:

I mostly love to receive single-view tourist cards, so as to know places that I will very likely not have a chance to visit in this life-time. I also love map-cards, animal illustrations (mostly cats, hedgehogs, owls, but I am open-minded about other animals). I also like cards of vintage food advertisements, political cartoons of older times, statues of famous (even only locally) persons or animals. sculptures in the public space...

What I am not keen on receiving: greeting cards whatever the occasion, "cute" babies or white kittens, flowers, painting reproductions, pin-ups, nude, cooking recipes, religious or political propaganda in the message written on the card, movie stars or singers, sport people. And please if you send a card showing a place, I need to know what this place is, where it is, so try not to hide the legend or send cards without a legend.....I have no place in my collection for cards which are "nowhere", however lovely they are...Sorry!
