i love moomin!
i discovered it when i bought a tattered paperback some 12 years ago, Moomin Valley in November. :)

cute cards! I hope somebody could send me one of those through postcrossing :D
where'd you find one, odette? they seem rare nowadays!
shiera: you can request moomin postcards by indicating them on your postcrossing profile like i did! :)
