The Pineapple is not just a delicious fruit or garnish for a nice drink. The Pineapple has been viewed as a symbol of hospitality for hundreds of years and in the 18th century colonial days. Whether placed on a home's door step to show friendliness or within a table's centerpiece for guests at a dinner party, the fruit depicts the welcoming nature of the household and the thoughtfulness of a host.
I chose to feature the pineapple in my very first blog post on a Touch of Gold to welcome myself into the world of blogging. With that, I also want to welcome all of you to my blog, journey, and the many adventures to be had here. Hope you enjoy your stay and come back soon for new posts! Feedback is welcomed as I love to learn from the various experiences of my friends.
ONE// The fruit can be seen in many home decor items, one of my favorite ways to feature it is as a simple addition to a curtain rod.
TWO// When you usually see a pineapple, you think of the juicy fruit as a snack, in a drink, or for some, a pizza topping. Here are some fun recipes to try and mix things up!
THREE// This nifty tool can assist with the above!
FOUR// A scarf, especially an infinity scarf, can be a very simple and easy way to accent a plain top or dress. Personally I would place this scarf over a contrasting color like pink or orange, but I would also pair it with cream or black for a more subtle look.
FIVE// With the summer months upon us, relaxing outside is one of my favorite things to do. This citronella candle is not just a cute addition to your table and outdoor space, but it keeps those mosquitoes at bay!
SIX// Don't forget about the men in your life, boyfriend, dad or brother. These shorts offer a subtle monochrome print that can go from boat to bar with a graphic T or polo.
SEVEN(similar)// The shirt pictured above is one I own and adore. Its a thinner material so the slightly sheer fabric is perfectly paired with skinny jeans for a breezy night out!
