Card no 211 20th Sept 2012
Inge Löök
was born in Helsinki in 1951. She is both a gardener and an illustrator. Today
she lives in Pernaja, Finland. Her
illustrations are mainly inspirations from her own surroundings or life, most
especially from nature. But it is for
'The Aunties' that she is best known. To
date, there are 36 different images of 'The Aunties', a series of cards of old
ladies. I think they are brilliant and after seeing one on a postcrossing blog
I added them to my list of cards I would like to receive on my profile. No sooner had I done so than Soile from
Helsinki sent me one.
How cool! Love the idea of your blog--I want to share my own cards, too, but need to work out a way to do so and still not feel overwhelmed with my book blog...need more hours in the day! I love these cards--haven't gotten one yet, but may have to add it to my own wishlist and see if one turns up eventually! :)
ReplyDeleteNo one can be uncheered by such a card! (to twist a quote from Winnie the Pooh, originally about balloons)
