I am a fan of everything handmade and I'm good at crocheting (my mum told me so!) So when I received this card from Finland, my jaw dropped!

| Butterfly and flowers. It's a beauty, isn't it? Now why didn't I think of this? Sent in an envelope. Postcard ID: FI-639622 |
It's actually quite thick and heavy so the sender, Kajo, probably paid extra for the weight. She is a Geography and Biology teacher for upper level students in Finland. We all know how busy teachers are but the sender always finds free time to pursue her hobby - making handicrafts. As you can see from her card, she is quite skilled. I can only imagine what else she makes! Kiitos, Kajo.I bet we would be good friends if we live close to each other :)
I know not many Postcrossers like handmade cards but there are others who do appreciate them - one of them is me. It is as personal as it can get when I know that great effort and time (and love) was devoted to make this card. And this just gave me an idea :) I wish there is a decent place to get all crafting needs here in Phnom Penh, like this wool yarn shop. It has a complete array of knitting (and perhaps, crocheting, too) yarns, needles, and other accessories.
Can you imagine what kind of yarn materials and colours are in store there when the seasons change? This store also sells finished products for men and women for those who have no patience nor time to knit and crochet for their own use. Like a one-stop shop. Fantastic!
