Come on in.
Piracy! Scurvy! Sirens!
When a Charleston sea captain would return home from a long voyage, he’d spear a pineapple (in those days an exotic souvenir) on his fencepost to let folks know he’d arrived back safely. It was an invitation to come over and hear about his wild months and port calls and white whales. Over time we’ve grown more insular and more distant from our neighbors, even as we’ve gotten more and more crowded.
So we made this to put in your foyer, by an open door, and invite those neighbors in.
