etsy: keep calm and carry on

I seen this poster a long time ago somewhere else and when I found it on Etsy, I just had to snatch it right up!
sfgirlbybay offers this hand silk-screened reproduction in 8 colors. I chose vintage red, but if red doesn’t strike your fancy there are some other great colors.
In England, during the World War II era, this poster was on display urging British citizens to “keep calm and carry on”. You can read more about the history here.
We can all use that as a reminder sometimes too. Don’t you think?

I’m so late on the Etsy bandwagon.
I like this poster! I want the lime green one :)
I would totally love this for my cube. I’ve seen it before but for some reason that idea just clicked with me. I’ll have to look for some smaller versions
Oooh! I’m with Jenn…I love the green one, I think I’ll buy it for my new room. And like Ben, I’m also very behind on the whole Etsy thing. I suppose I’ll just have to learn by buying. :)
This sweet little pink gem will so be mine in a few days!!
oh, oh! i have this one too! in blue. love it!
I totally needed that message today. Thanks :)
I need one of those above my bed so that it’s the first thing I read in the morning.
Oh I love it, I’ve seen that before and sort of kind of really want one :)
I like, I like…
I need one of these for my classroom!
I have one of these in my office– totally the perfect work message, and much better than the “Hang in there!” or “I hate Mondays” posters. Love, love, love.
Haha, what an awesome poster. I like the red one the best too. :)
I really like te pink one. And I think this is really cool! Thanks for sharing this Etsy stuff — it’s awesome!
Etsy is one of the greatest sites ever made.
I bought that same poster!!!! I bought it for my future kitchen in the new house I buy at some undetermined future date….bought it in pink because I want my kitchen to be pastel-ly and thought that would be perfect since I’m a walking disaster in the kitchen….great buy!!
I love this saying as well. I carry “Keep Calm And Carry On” Scrabble Tile Pendants and Refrigerator Magnets in my etsy shop if anyone is interested. masari.etsy.com
