Mosaic Monday Bunday

Welcome back to another Mosaic Monday Bunday! This week, we celebrate United Nations Day on Friday the 26th. I remember getting little UNICEF boxes as child to fill with change and return to school and I vaguely remember something in the history books about the UN, but to be honest, I never gave them much thought. But the United Nations does a lot of good work "maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations and promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights." (http://www.un.org/en/aboutun/index.shtml)

So here is my Mosaic Monday Bunday salute to the UN, including pieces from or inspired by the original 5 countries to join and a few of the more recent members.  (Yes, there were other more recent members to join, but I couldn't find anything suitable on Etsy.)
