This postcards are highly collectible in the postcrossing world! Inge Löök (real name Ingeborg Lievonen) is a Finnish artist who was born in Helsinki (Finland) in 1951.
The interesting fact is that she actually was a professional gardener! and nowadays she is most famous for her Granny postcards.
When Inge was a child, she used to live in building in Helsinki, and in that building she had two older women as her neighbors, Alli and Fifi, who later became her inspiration for the characters in her postcards.
The postcards designed by Inge are super fun and optimistic!! The motto of this images is: “Time is not money and spending it isn’t a sin”.

This postcard is really special because I won it in a lottery in the FB group of postcrossing! It was sent to me by the lovely and really kind Helena , who said that she loves Spain and the sea, and also shared a saying “sea calms women”.
