KEEP CALM and CARRY ON


Need a new mantra? This has become mine: Keep Calm and Carry On. It comes from an old poster created during WWII by the English government to calm the nerves of British citizens during the crisis. Rediscovered by some book dealers in the UK, it has since become a timely piece of pop art. This appeals to me on several levels. Graphically, it looks great, love the message, and being a history freak, can't resist the backstory.
It works great when my patience are running out, when it's the end of the day and I'm cranky and tired and my son spills alphabet noodles all over the floor.....I look up and see this great reminder hanging on the wall and it does wonders. You can find a copy at barterbooks.co.uk.
