Britons way

I know you all have encountered this iconic sign...



This actually originated from the brits (duh! That's what I said on the title!). According to Wikipedia...


" was a poster produced by the British government in 1939 during the beginning of the Second World War, intended to raise the morale of the British public in the event of invasion. Seeing only limited distribution, it was little known. The poster was rediscovered in 2000 and has been re-issued by a number of private sector companies, and used as the decorative theme for a range of other products. There are only two known surviving examples of the poster outside government archives.[1]"


Today, it has been used. reused, revised and improved (?). Here are some examples

Whatever you fancy, whatever you think of this "fad" or "classic" poster, it is a fun pop of whimsy on any space. 

As for me, my personal favorite is this one...

With the words "pursue" and "dream" on it, and of course, those adorable ears, who wouldn't be inspired to do what the poster says?!

Have a Calm and wonderful day everyone!!!!!
