my adpi apartment

Do the bathroom in Violets. Lots of purple, blue and white accents, i.e. candles.

But I agree...magnets, Pictures, Lions, Diamonds are all great decorating items. I have many stuffed and ceramic lions that adorn my house. I also have glasses, pins, magnets, throws and baskets from my ADPi days.

LOVE the violets in the bath!!

I have my ADPi & violets china in my china cabinet in the living room, magnets on the fridge, a picture frame in the study. (Have a display of my ADPi memorabelia collection in the rec room. Mr F&F's way of minimizing the "sorority house" effect!)

I have most of my ADPi items in my media room - a framed Creed, awards, afghan, lions on my monitor, ADPi books & other lions on the shelves. There's a tiny pot of violets in my breakfront, and a large, old fashioned saltbox full of violets in my kitchen (my kitchen is all botanical prints). I used to have my paddle hanging up, but too many people made the typical "ha-ha, I know y'all paddled each other!" remarks.

I also have a few of violet china pieces that I only bring out when I have sisters over, or am taking something to the chapter. I don't leave it out, though. I love the idea of a violet bathroom - mine's blues, with blue star guest soaps.

Speaking of soaps, has anyone else bought the ADPi soaps by a certain seller on ebay? She is a licensed vendor and makes really awesome soaps in all our symbols! I've done a lot of business with her - those things make great gifts for eboard, advisors, alumnae... anyone!

Since I don't have my own "place" yet, my ADPi stuff is pretty restricted to my bedroom - lions, violets, etc.

I do, however, have things to remind me of ADPi up in my "office" at school - I have an ENTIRE portable classroom as my office for my internship at one of my schools (gotta love construction!), so I have a bunch of pictures up that have ADPi meanings - sisters, pictures from VLS last summer, lions, even a violet "plaque" that my mom had picked up in a resale shop that was hanging out in my room until I figured out where to put it.

Even if I don't specifically mention being Greek to my kids, I can subliminally get the message across

From Louisiana? Yes, I have! I've given several of the stars as gifts to ADPis - they smell so good and are so pretty!! And yes, she will give a discount if you buy a certain amount!

since we talking adpi stuff, does anyone have suggestions on getting my certificate framed and/or mounted?

I've seen a really pretty one on ebay w/ the crest and all that, but I believe that oversize frame was horizontal.. and i think our membership certificate is vertical? It's been awhile, it is packed up with all my other adpi stuff.
