I've been following the Keep Calm and Carry On phenomenon for a while now - the poster that took off and spawned a whole range of other products, including a number of parody posters.
Well, it's time for an update. John Lewis has a number of Keep Calm products, including a water bottle and a first aid kit - and this luggage tag. [via Kitchen Critic] Update on Oct. 24, 2011: John Lewis no longer carries the luggage tag - but many other place do, including Decorative Things. And the first aid kit, no longer sold by John Lewis, is also available elsewhere.
Decorative Things has a Keep Calm bumper sticker - as well as golf balls and a Christmas ornament.
You can also get a Keep Calm and Carry On rubber stamp.
But what really inspired this post was the Keep Calm poster - in Welsh. [via Retro to Go]

ReplyDeleteI saw a great spoof on this on cafepress a while ago: http://www.cafepress.com/LameTOE/7080984 ... I love your blog, btw!
ReplyDeleteWhen I last visited the UK, I found a mug in the same style, with the words "When in Doubt, Brew Up".
ReplyDeleteSince tea is pretty much my answer to everything, I snapped it up!

ReplyDeleteStruggler, I found your mug. It sounds perfect for you.
Dami, I was delighted to include your rubber stamp. I just looked at where you're located; you sure live in a pretty part of the world!
I have a question that's completely unrelated to this post, but I wasn't sure how else to ask. Do you have any creative ideas on storing medications? Our family has about 2-3 bottles each that must be taken every day. I know not to keep them in the bathroom, but I am at a loss as to where to keep them. Right now, they are in a tupperware bowl that I keep on the kitchen counter. I'm looking for something more efficient that I could use. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteTo RZ: I store my 3 med bottles in a hanging denim purse in my closet. I put the meds weekly in a 7-day organizer and keep that out only.
ReplyDeleteRZ, I saw someone recently who kept the family meds in a breadbox on the kitchen counter.
ReplyDeleteMary N., thanks for sharing what works for you!
