Though it has a greater history that goes back over centuries, for me and many others, the fleur-de-lis is often associated with areas formerly settled by France, such as Quebec, St. Louis, Louisville, and Louisiana.I know that there are a few things that I always associate it with, so that is why there are so many reasons to choose the Fleur de lis as my tag today. 1) I’m super excited about my upcoming first time visit to NOLA for Jazz Fest in April. 2)The Saints won the Superbowl! and 3) Fat Tuesday is tomorrow, and its Mardi Gras time!!

I think that these bookends by Knob Creek Metal Arts add a touch of class to any living room.

Eeeps! Fleur de lis baby shoes by Child of Privilege !! So cute.

Sew Many Doodles has a few items with the Fleur de lis, but this stool caught my eye.

Bmused has an amazing collection of belt buckles, some with more apparent Fleur de lis than this one, but I am seriously considering this one for my collection. I like the muted pattern and color pallate.

This  Mirliton soap is made from a cajun gourd and stamped with the Fleur de lis. Sweet Olive Soap Works is based in NOLA, so its only fitting.
