Fleur de Lis Fetish

True confessions, I know that Fleur de Lis are all the rage now, but I've had a Fleur de Lis Fetish for many years now..........yup it all started with my French DH's boxers. Being very patriotic, he had them on his boxers. What can I say , I was enamored with the symbol and have loved them ever since.



A little history, which I'm sure most know, the word Lis stand for Lily in French and is the symbol on the flag of France.

From a decorating point of view they just lend themselves so well to every room of the house. I have a hard time naming my favourite, although I truly do love them on Old World garden sculptures .....but then again I truly love them on bling too.

Here's just a few examples from my house:








I'm sure the French decorating theme with Eiffel Towers will come and go , but Fleur de Lis are truly timeless.

Here's wishing a bit of grace touched your day.
