SFgirlbybay Has My Heart
I already had a big ole blog crush on Victoria of sfgirlbybay for her unfailing eye for approachable, vintagey, design finds. Just look at her apartment (featured in the new Apartment Therapy book) and tell me you aren’t in love, too:

But then I realize that in her etsy shop she sells the poster I’ve been coveting for months and whose slogan I’ve been sharing with the stressed out people in my life (particularly apropos for this time of year). Naysayers will call it this year’s design cliche; I call it lovely.

How fabulous is it when two great worlds collide?

Anonymous: Love that British, stoic perspective on life. As tens of thousands lose their jobs whilst I write this, we are all trying to “keep calm.” However, without jobs, I’m not quite sure as to how we “carry on.”3 years ago
sarah: Anon, I feel this week, honestly, as if the sky is falling. But then a friend of mine reminded me of Dory in Finding Nemo: you just got to keep swimming, just keep swimming, don’t look back, just keep swimming.3 years ago
Haley: Love this poster and design style! And now that you have directed me to such a fabulous site… I’m hooked!3 years ago
