#SS208-Pineapples in Yellow and Blue Scarf

Yellow and Blue are a classic color combination and really pop with this pineapple design.   The first account of the pineapple was given by Christopher Columbus and his men, who landed on the island now known as Guadeloupe on their second voyage of discovery.   Seafaring captains from east coast ports including Charleston, would impale fresh pineapples– souvenirs of their lengthy travels to tropical ports– atop the porch railings of their homes when they returned.   It was a symbol then that the man of the house was home– albeit briefly– and receiving visitors.   The pineapple is still visible today in the architecture and interior décor at homes throughout many coastal areas as a universal symbol of welcome.

This scarf is delivered in my signature aqua blue boxes along with a thank you gift, three of my acclaimed note cards.
