Roundup: Fleur-de-Lys

February 28, 2008

Fleurs-de-lys abound in New Orleans. Today, they top wrought-iron fences, serve as trendy baubles, brand popular clothing lines, and emblazon football helmets in the Superdome, cheeky advertisements, and even post-Katrina fridges. The history of the symbol is long and does not escape the shelter market. The lily-inspired shape has bloomed on everything from bedding and bath linens to glassware and paper towel holders. Here's a healthy dose for you:

I would NEVER put that in my house!!!! Here in Québec it has a big political connotation. Just check the provincial flag. I'd rather a big, old maple leaf on my cushions! ;)
