First, all the titles and address you have been thinking about for months are all taken, and your 18th choice is actually copyrighted. Man, talk about being late to a party.
Originally, this was going to be called 'A good idea', but Martha must have that one. It was primarily going to be a response & opinion blog, with every post ending with the judgement of if it was/is a good idea (at the time!) Hindsight is 20/20, no?
My G, who you will meet later once had a shirt that said, 'it seemed like a good idea at the time'. He would wear it as soon as it came out of the wash, and then for days. Until I peeled it off.
So, the 23rd choice would like to welcome you to the Bedazzled Pineapple!
I have always been drawn to sparkly things, and have a tendency to cover anything I can in glitter- less so the older I get,and I might even grow out of it one day (hope not!).
I also, really love pineapples:
1. a Pineapple tree is in the center of my family crest
2.it's really yummy
and I'm sure the list could go on and on....... but those are the high points!
And now, some pineapple history (let's learn)
The Significance of the Pineapple
For centuries the pineapple has symbolized hospitality and a welcoming spirit. Originating in Brazil, the pineapple was first cultivated by natives in
the Caribbean Islands. Christopher Columbus first brought this exotic delicacy back to Europe in 1493 after his second voyage to America.
In colonial America the pineapple was quite rare and expensive, and hosts who provided pineapples to their guests were indeed treating them to a special honor.
One popular legend contends that sailing captains placed a pineapple at their door or signpost to indicate their arrival home from a long voyage and that friends were welcome to visit.
Highly prized as a centerpiece for feasts and celebrations, the pineapple signified generosity
and friendship among the early Americans.
Today the pineapple remains an enduring universal symbol of welcome.
Thanks Dad, for putting that together!
There you have it, sequins are awesome & pineapple is yummy = let's mash them together and have some fun!
