Fleur -de -Lis

I know, another post about coasters. But this is what I had in mind when I thought of making coasters for gifts. A simple coaster that everyone would like. The words on the background paper are in English, I think I will look for paper with French words. I guess I should be able to find some paper on the Internet.

I did a little research on fleur -de- lis. The English translation of "fleur-de-lis" is "flower of the lily." This symbol, depicting a stylized lily or lotus flower, has many meanings. Traditionally, it has been used to represent French royalty, and is said to signify perfection, light, and life. I am not sure why I like the fleur -de- lis symbol so much. My ancestors were from France, maybe that is why. However, I am quite sure that I am not related to French royalty, or maybe I am. Bonjour!
