~Pineapples Make The Perfect Gift~

Did you know the Pineapple is a sign of hospitality and welcome?
The following is an excerpt from Hoag Levins. To visit Hoag's website and learn more about the Pineapple click here!

"Across the ocean, the pineapple took on other symbolic meanings in England's American colonies. The colonies were then a land of small, primitive towns and settlements where homes served as the hubs of most community activity. Visiting was the primary means of entertainment, cultural intercourse and news dissemination. The concept of hospitality--the warmth, charm and style with which guests were taken into the home--was a central element of the society's daily emotional life."
With that being said wouldn't you agree that anything pineapple would make the perfect gift? Check out these pineapple items for sale by etsy artists.
