FINLAND ~Chequered blue~
Received a wonderful butterfly maxi-card today. They are one of my favourite animals! I try to fill my own garden with lots of butterfly plants. It makes me each summer so happy to see them in my garden.... Gardening is also a great hobby of mine! :-)

Hello Gerda,
ReplyDeleteI am Edit from Spain and I have just started to collect postcards.
Would you be interested in a swap? I could send you one (or more)
cards about Toledo, Madrid or Avila.
Best wishes,
