I was pretty late in discovering Etsy. Am I the only one? I only discovered it last year, and then of course I felt gipped all the prior years of life before knowing about it. Anyway, now I know, and am grateful. I could furnish my entire home and self and kids and hubby at Etsy and be quite pleased (mix a little Anthropologie in here and there, if you don’t mind).
Anyway, this was my first Etsy purchase, in my orange bathroom, and I love it just as much as I did when it first arrived. I think it’s a good sentiment to read in the bathroom, don’t you? Sometimes, on the toilet, you’re not totally sure if it’s going to be okay. So this reassures us.
It can be yours for $23 (not including frame–I got that at Target). And here is the lovely Etsy shop where you’ll find it.
And I know I’m breaking the rules here by listing 2, but these have captured my heart for over a year now. I don’t own one yet, but one step at a time.
Another good bathroom sentiment. And also found at Etsy… and in soooo many colors, it’ll make you swoon.

Hi love!
I am rediculously obsessed with DIY magazines, home and garden, blueprint(tear), etc. So obsessed, in fact, that I purchased a three ring pinter and about 200 sheet protectors and decided I would tear out the projects and design pages that made my heart skip a beat- and keep them in one nice binder. Needless to say, I have filled my first binder and now I am on to my second. It's a wonderful thing to do because you wont have piles and piles of magazines lying around, ready to be thrown out by accident. ANYWAY. The etsy prints you've selected above are on page 45 of my first binder. LOVE them.
PS- I recommend you get a three ring binder as well because it's a great "gift giving" idea book for holidays or birthdays or tuesdays…if you like to give random gifts like I do.
Miss you and love your blog.
Ashley

Hi Bridget,
I just discovered your blog through Two Ellie and I'm having a grand old time stalking your archives 🙂 (Don't know if you are even going to see that someone is leaving a comment on a post from way back in 2009?) But I did want to tell you that 1. I really love your blog and have been so encouraged and inspired in learning a bit of your story! and 2. I have the "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster in my bathroom–and for the same reason basically. I mean, I just think we could all appreciate that kind of assurance before we go back out and face the world, you know? Keep up the great blogging! Blessings your family!
