Good day, and welcome to my blog. It is a cold but sunny day in the American Midwest, and it's time for Sunday Stamps.
Our theme today is famous women, and our hostess has shared a famous astronaut. This made me think of a stamp I have shared before, from Russia:
This is Valentina Tereshkova, first woman to have flown in space (in June 1963). Still the only woman to fly a solo mission (at 26 years old!). This stamp is for the 50th anniversary of that flight. Her call sign was Chaika or "seagull" therefore the bird appears on this stamp.
Please visit SeeitonaPostcard and see who else is playing.
