Walking into my office and finally being greeted by my "mantra" for daily living made me smile this morning. There is no more appropriate phrase for me to repeat every day than this old British wartime poster's. I scored a old, carved gold wood frame on eBay for $40 and lacquered it myself with the amazing 1-Shot. It reminds me VERY much of this Brocade frame that is being sold for $500! It's quite satisfying to stretch my crafty muscles on projects like these!

Love love love it. I am thinking of purchasing that poster as well. I have had it as my desktop wall paper at work ever since you first posted it. It comes in handy when trying to survice the workday!
I am looking forward to getting my "Loose Lips Might Sink Ships" poster framed and thats a great idea of finding an old frame and laquer it yourself..I have one that will be perfect. Weekend project! Where do i buy one shot?

You need to be careful when using this, I would not apply if anyone is pregnant, as the fumes can be toxic if not in a properly ventilated area. Allow maximum time to dry-1 to 2 days. This is oil based, so you'll need mineral spirits to clean off your brush as well.
