carrying on

Another week has zipped by. My work in progress over the past few days has been some rabbits for a small easter themed (in so far that there will be rabbits) shop update next week. These are their aprons in waiting.

And a corner of my home. Oh, this is making me so happy. A reproduction of a British government issue WW2 poster. Sorry about the dodgy photo - reflective surfaces are such a bugger to photograph. I first saw this in a home featured in Livingetc a few years ago, so was thrilled when I came across this image on Flickr. And even more thrilled when I discovered that it could be purchased (here) and delivered to my door for a mere $15. Sold! Thankyou, internet.

That is awesome. It's exactly what you should be doing at all times, no matter what: keeping calm and carrying on. And the poster is such a tasteful reminder of it!

oh I love the poster! Would love one for my own study. Thanks for sharing.

[kirsty]

That is one hot-diggety-dog poster! It could be my Theme for Life :)

[laura]

[susaninfrance]

i just hope that i can be quicker to the draw this time--i really would like to buy one of your lovely dolls!!

[Dacia]

that's an awesome poster! that's way better than today's government getting you all hyped up (at least in the US). today, we're code orange, tomorrow code red--everybody freak out and buy toilet paper! such unhelpful nonsense.

That's so weird... I saw the same poster in the same issue of LivingEtc. and then bought it in the same week! I just put mine in a frame yesterday. How peculiar!

[Kristy]

I hope Barter Books is giving you commission. Have you ever been in real life? It's an amazing place.

This seems a very appropriate slogan for our family at the moment and given what a steal it was, I just had to order one. Thanks.

[Shelly]

Thank you for sharing that poster! I am ordering one as I type this! LOVE IT!

[Sarah]

I love that poster. It now seems that we will all have the same poster in our homes!

[lindsey clare]

ooh i saw that poster online somewhere recently and LOVED it. so british. so red. so typographically beautiful!
i showed it to my husband and he loved it too so we just ordered one as a housewarming present to ourselves (even though we've been here for almost two months). hehe, yay for impulse purchases! :)

Brilliant poster! Thanks for sharing it.
Reminds me of the postcard I have next to my desk at work- it has a picture of a simple white teapot and cup of tea with the caption "Essential crisis managment tool".

[jude]

OMG! I am buying one for work and one for school. That is brilliant.

[kristin]
