Keep Calm and Carry On...
Beautiful advice for hard times ~ It was one of the three posters printed by the British Government on the eve of the war in 1939.
Are you going to keep calm and carry on?

Love this! I have a framed poster in my house, great little reminder!
I read somewhere in the press that Cath Kidston was attributing her hugely increased annual profits (despite the credit crunch) to this slogan - people are returning to her Laura Ashley-like pastoral designs as a sort of familiar comfort "food" & away from cold minimalism!!
Lovely post!xx
xxxLOL LOLA:)
Fascinating the things that get picked up and last for decades. Also love the "Tea revives you".
I adore these...I have been thinking I need a framed poster with this saying for the longest time...love love love it! Thanks for sharing these!
i LOVE THAT! and yes, i shall keep calm and carry on today... ;)

never more appropriate quote! love that rug! xo
Love "Keep Calm and Carry On." I have a gold version of the poster hanging in my kitchen. Always a great message to see each day - especially when the kids are having a meltdown as you are about to walk out the door! Love the floor rug version you featured - fabulous!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
I just love the Keep Calm prints... I know that pretty much everyone has them these days, but they never get old to me!
How funny, the second blog in a row where this was the latest post. Someone is sending me a message.:) Love it!
I'll see you over the weekend, after I return from my trip.
xoxo
P.S. Hope you're having a wonderful week!
I will make a concerted effort to do so. I love the bags!
Love this ~ I currently have it written on our chalk board in the kitchen.

I absolutely will Keep Calm and Carry On...but only if i can keep the rug, otherwise I might throw a tanty instead.
Thanks for visiting my blog!
It is wonderful advice for us to remember from time to time.
I didn't know the history behind these. great posters and love the bags! I try, try, try to remain calm on a daily basis!!
That's exactly what I needed to hear right now!
At first I thought I'd already seen this post but then i realized it's a famous poster, and now I know why? Very cool.
yes, I think with words like that, we need to.
Good to hear the history of the quote.

this has inspired many of my doodles, actually :)
i never get sick of seeing these posters - its cool that they're so gorgeous and simple graphically, but also have history behind them
I want one of each! Fabu!
Have had to do a bit of this myself the past couple of days, so perfect timing! Great story of its origins in dark times.
