About Me

Hello dear friend, I'm Irina and I live in Connecticut. I'm pediatrician by profession. Most of all I like traveling, hiking, reading books and collecting postage stamps and postcards. I like to know something new about countries.

Favorite Postcards

My favorite postcard collections are

  • Space, Milky Way

  • orchids

  • owls,

  • foxes,

  • coffee, tea

  • red cardinals,

  • lighthouses,

  • tausendschon

  • maxicards and lenticular \3D postcards

  • postcards with wonderful view from national parks.

You can send me what you really love.

Please write me a few words about yourself, your country. It would be great if you could write what happiness means to you.

Favorite postal stamps

I love collecting beautiful stamps and I do it over 4 years. My favorite stamp collections are

  • Christmas (not religious), New Year

  • Space, planets, constellation

  • Historic Warships (1880-1945)

  • lighthouses,

  • flowers (especially orchids), mushrooms, berries, fruits

  • animals (especially polar bear), birds, dragonflies, ladybugs, butterflies

  • cats,

  • owls,

  • marine life (whales, dolphins, turtle and etc)

  • unusual stamps (lenticular, embroidered, figured, etc.)

I prefer newest stamps (for last 10 years).

Please no CTOs, no stamps with QR code, no head stamps and no USSR stamps (I have a lot of them). I don't like small stamps, larger is better for me.

I don't collect architecture, religious, sport, sculpture, famous people. No stamps from Germany please (I have a lot of them) .

Flavors and tea

I love drinking green tea with fruits and flowers. It relaxes me in evening. 🍁 Here some suggestions on tea flavors

your favorite tea

green tea with fruits (pineapple, orange, mango, apple, pear, peach or something mixed)

green tea with berries (strawberry, raspberry, cranberry or something mixed)

green tea with lemon

herbal tea

flavors from plants or fruits that only grow in your country

I like Tea Squared (received from Canada), Teekanne (received from Germany).

I like coffee too and my favorite is cappuchino. Mmm..

My favorite things

I would appreciate for beautiful sets for letter (nice envelope + paper letter inside). I have a couple of penpals and I would be glad to use them for it.

Bookmarks

Stickers (especially with flowers, evergreens, coffee, cups, foxes and space )

I don't like

Please do not send me advertising cards, coloring cards, religious, handmade, with insects.

Please, do not send me ribbons, tickets, ephemera, notepapers, patterned papers, napkins. I don't collect these things. No school/award related things.

Swaps

And I would like to find here friends and penpals.

I would appreciate if you could use holiday stamps on postcards and envelopes.

Thank you for all the kind letters and postcards!

Note

If you don't receive a swap from me, please reach out first. I always send promptly but understand that sometimes things happen on route.
