Keep Calm

keep_calm.jpg

I have been getting quite a few e-mails asking where the poster came from above Sarah Blanchard’s comode in her sneak peek. I’m happy to say it is made by the lovely duo at Keep Calm in London. They come in lots of different colors and they have some other fun ones to choose from too ! I have a white one in my kitchen that keeps me calm. They would make great gifts! You can check them out here.

SFGirlbyBay also stocks the posters, and they’re a lot cheaper without paying in pounds! She lists current colors at a special blog: http://keepcalmposters.blogspot.com/
But also always says when she has new ones in her blog. http://sfgirlbybay.blogspot.com/

There’s definitely something about this that strikes a nerve with people. Must be the troubled times we live in….

But shhhhhh….
There’s a bookshop in the UK that stocks the original poster (only in red) for just £3.60. Much, much cheaper and they seem to ship overseas too.

I didn’t find them until after I’d already bought one for $50. D’oh! Oh well.

And if people like the design it’s available as a tea towel (again in the original WW2-era Emergency Red) at this online shop in the UK.

I bought mine here many months ago and it seems to be the cheapest. They’re also extremely friendly folks: http://www.barterbooks.co.uk/bb/barter.nsf/buybook?openagent&bookid=7CDAF562D0AAC1F6802570CF005B9B8Ct&orderer=92FC6BFE1D9DB4D2802573710083D3C6

Although the poster version is cheap, in terms of quality these seem to be far superior. They are hand made screen prints rather than posters!

Lucas and Haley have been wonderful in the production and display of my two new prints with Keep-Calm. A pleasure to work with them.
