Children

 

1959: 1st Anniversary of People's Communes

In a Chinese Nursery a child is watering flowers

2007: Fishing Happiness

Meanwhile in Sweden the kids are on the lake seeing what can be caught with a net. I think more than a net is needed to be able to kiss a fish. A 'Duel Happiness' and 'Fishing with a friend'

This is called in the catalogue  'angle for worms' although maskmete on the stamp can also mean angling with worms, one word can make all the difference. Whatever the pastime it looks totally engrossing. 

 Sunday Stamps theme this week is - Children - See It On A Postcard

Those Swedish kids are less squeamish than I when it comes to getting up close and personal with their fish!
That poor Chinese girl doesn't know what is about to happen...
Interesting watering can she's using, though.

Very original pictures of kids with fishes. But the idea of kissing one of those... I'm not sure I'd like it!

I love the vintage drawing on the first stamp. And a lot f kids there, too!
