WWII

If you know me, you know I am not very handy with numbers, in any form. I never remember them, rarely calculate them, and have trouble with era's and dates in history (because of the #'s.) The 20's is the only era I get straight in a time line and that is because of the kitschy phrase, "roaring 20's", yay for that. I generally describe a time by the clothes I see in my head or the popular furniture/car at the time and someone catches on quickly enough. With all this said I love the United Kingdom so in my excitement to redocrate (or decorate at all) I invested in the below poster. It was during WWII that Britain put up these posters in the streets for their citizens as bombs beraided their fantastic city...think the East side of the V&A museum which still stands with pock-marked stone walls. They come in many colors but this was the original as well as (in my opinion) the most striking. Woot!
