marie. 24 years old. living in london, originally from berlin. i am part of the b in lgbt. loving arts & crafts. museums. history. postcards. baking. stationery. decorating. analogue photography.

i would prefer them in an envelope if possible. no need for them to be blank, but in an envelope would be nice as the royal mail can be pretty rough with them.

i prefer art/illustration/photography ones over touristy ones.

if the swap calls for touristy ones:

♥ single view

♥ cities at night

♥ black and white

♥ photos of museums or streets

♥ roadside attractions

(although there are cities i find especially beautiful: prague, san francisco, amsterdam, brighton)

non touristy ones (probably everything would make me happy with those):

♥ illustrations (children's book illustrations, illustrations of insects or other animals, food illustrations, to be honest every kind of illustration)

♥ illustrators I'm into in particular (the style of illustrations I like the most): fiep westendorp, beatrix potter, caroline tomlinson, mariana rodrigues, claire rollet, cliff mills, michael Frith, chrissy lau, alexandra ball, may van millingen

♥ ANY illustration of famous historical people (especially marie antoinette) are loved

♥ moomins

♥ art (e.g.: van gogh, monet, frida kahlo, edward hopper, gustav klimt, beatrix potter, cezanne)

♥ foxes, flamingos, bees

♥ astronomy/space

♥ black & white

♥ vintage (including reproductions)

♥ typography/quotes

♥ map postcards

♥ recipe Postcards

♥ botanical/flower prints

our post office is an one counter post office in the back of a tiny shop (how amazing london can be sometimes) - sometimes things don't get postmarked until the next morning, especially when i drop in late. hope you understand. if i put them in the postbox on weekends they'll probably not get postmarked before the following monday or before they reach a sorting facility.
