I did not have to look far this week as I had stamps to fit the theme from Great Britain and Norway; there were others but I liked these three best.

| Great Britain |
This was one of the set issued on 16 January 2001 - "Rights of the Child, Face Paintings"
From Norway it is women that were commemorated.
 |
| Norway - United Nations Womens' Year 1975 |
My second stamp from Norway shows a flower but its name is hidden by the postmark.

| Norway - 1990 |

The face painting of a flower stamp from Great Britain is really beautiful! It's summer here in the Philippines and I feel like getting one for myself for the cheery summer vibe! :D
I totally missed that GB set, very pretty!
Hi Bob .. love the stamps - and they're still trying to help women in under-developed countries improve their lot ..
It's a slow process ... cheers Hilary
Cute, saucy and pretty ...in that order!
I recognise last as the Common Spotted Orchid, I remember seeing a whole fell-side of them of Scotland, what a sight. By coincidence I posted its cousin the Marsh spotted on my other blog this week.
Oh so pretty and somebody please lend stamp # 2 some sweaters!!!
I absolutely love the face painting stamp! The kid looks as it was having a blast - that's how we should remember our childhood!
I completely missed the 2001 Child's Rights issues, which is a great shame because it's lovely.
Lovely collection of pink stamps Bob!
Interesting stamps as always Bob. I find, because of your blogs, I am paying more attention to stamps I get, not many nowadays, most people email.
JO ON FOOD, MY TRAVELS AND A SCENT OF CHOCOLATE
All wonderful, but the first stamp really catches your attention! thank you for participating!
I thought I commented earlier... but I guess not.
Anyway, I was thinking how daring those Norwegians were in 1975! I love the first one with the face painting
I don't remember that British one at all. Normally when I see old British stamps, there is a vague familiarity about them, a memory of seeing them on some letter falling through some letter box. But that one passed me by.
