The Pineapple
Symbol of hospitality and friendship
What could be more beautiful than someone going out of their way to make someone else feel welcome.
In the early colonial days, the pineapple was placed on the table to welcome guests. Pineapples adorned the wooden posts of guest beds, the finials of iron gates and was even woven into tablecloths and napkins.
Could there be a more appropriate symbol for the upcoming holidays? I look forward to making guests and family feel welcome in my home this holiday season. Perhaps I'll add a pineapple to my guest room decor...
