Keep Calm and Carry On!!! and all things British







We love all these fun, fun gifts, all so appropriate in the year of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics...the "Keep Calm and Carry On" coffee mugs, water bottles, tote bags, playing cards and bandaids (or sticking plasters as they are called in England) have been hugely popular items in the store.  Most of the items come with a little hangtag with some of the historical info about the phrase.  A customer has shared a link with me that goes even farther...it shows Barter's Books, the bookstore where a forgotten, vintage WWII poster was found.    Thanks, Paul!
