Saw a lovely wooden wall carving, shaped like a quatrefoil, in an Alpha Phi house recently.

I'm in art history and there are so many quatrefoils everywhere. I see them in my textbook and it always brightens my boring art history studying day...lol...

***I studied abroad in Paris last summer and traveled around Europe. It was always comforting to see a quatrefoil each place along the way =)***

This necklace is currently on sale at Ross-Simons:


It's really funny how many quatrefoils I see, and no <> "correct" diamonds!

Great googly moogly! There's another one!

Sorry for the lane swerve, but I loved seeing all the different pictures of quatrefoils "in the real world". I just realized that the pair of antique filigree-and-diamond earrings I wore today were in a quatrefoil shape!

It's a lovely symbol and one of my favorite things about Phi Mu (the pink and the French motto are the others).

More pictures!

Some of my sisters and me were in Myrlte Beach for our Spring Break this year and as we were driving around looking for a public beach access one night we all stopped dead in our tracks and pulled out our cameras & phones when we came by a hotel and spa with quatrefoils all over the place. there were even three right next to each other on each side so we were all curious if a Phi Mu had anything to do with the design. The name of the place is Anderson Ocean Club & Spa, I posted a link with the best picture I could find.

Quatrefoils have become a HUGE craze as I believe David Yurman began creating jewelry with the symbol ours evolved from! They have been a symbol in architecture especially in the Gothic Revival and Renaissance, and have been making a comeback. I love the unique shape and our quote in French as well, thanks for stopping by!

I was looking for new dinnerware and found a set that reminded me of Phi Mu. It's by Gorham Dinnerware, and it's called "Magnolia Place."

I found a quatrefoil in the new Every Avenue music video! At 3:18 there is a quatrefoil window, I was watching it while on the phone with my friend and they thought something was wrong since I got so excited!

Pottery Barn also has a quatrefoil frame right now! I saw it while I was shopping with my mom the other day and bought a few!
