The pineapple is the symbol of hospitality and can be seen all over Colonial Va. A little history lesson from the internet...

Returning from the tropics, colonial sea captains would impale a pineapple on their fence post to announce their arrival home from the sea. The pineapple came to symbolize hospitality and extends an invitation to visitors.

In the same tradition, pineapples have been carved into furniture and entryways. Today they are seen on flags and carved into crystals.
In quilting the pineapple shape has been used for appliqued and pieced blocks.

Which is why I don't fly it-- what if people took me at my word and thought it meant to come on in. I can't think of anything worse.
