Constance Spry

Found this on designsponge, one of my favorite design blogs. Constance Spry (1886-1960) was a teacher, "society florist", best-selling author, and social reformer.

It reads:
Do what you please,
follow your own star;
be original if you want to be
and don't if you don't want to be.
Just be natural and gay and light-hearted
and pretty and simple and overflowing
and general and baroque and bare
and austere and stylized and wild
and daring and conservative,
and learn and learn and learn.
Open your minds to every form of beauty.
