Keep Calm And Come In Doormat

Calm

Over five years since we first featured it (and yes, we were the first with it), that poster just keeps on appearing in different guises – the latest being this Keep Calm And Come In Doormat.

Yes, another variation of the Keep Calm and Carry On craze, which we thought had run out of steam by now. But we do actually like this particular design, which uses the original red and white on a mat sized at 43 x 73cm.

£23.50 is the price.

Make Do and Mend print by Farouche on Etsy

Farouche

Next time you shirk away from your ever-growing pile of socks in dire need of darning, this cheerful little print should give you a gentle reminder to sit down and get stitching.

The Make Do and Mend print from Farouche embodies one of the most enduring sentiments of wartime Britain and, with our pockets feeling a little lighter of late, is as relevant now as it was back then. The simple cursive typography, finished with a simple needle motif and vintage-style border, is available with a mint green, peach or dove grey background. 

The Make Do and Mend print is at a credit-crunch friendly price of $18 from the Farouche store on Etsy.
