Significance of the Pinwheel

A pinwheel is a childhood symbol – it represents a time when things were simple and natural. Its bright colors convey optimism and vitality; in use it demonstrates the ready transformation from inertia to energy. Initiative, imagination and a mild breeze are the only ingredients needed; the materials are accessible to all and no technology is required. The maker simply puts together a few simple components of their choice to produce a unique and functional creation.

Pinwheels are found all over the globe and retain their recognizable shape and function from culture to culture.  In Chinese culture, for example, the pinwheel signifies “turning one’s luck around”; the pinwheel figures prominently in Chinese New Year celebrations where it is represents good luck, longevity, health and prosperity.

At Pinwheel Provisions, we believe that mealtimes should also be easy, simple and natural, with no fancy techniques or equipment needed. Just great ingredients presented in an easy-to-use format. We also subscribe to the notion that great meals bring about happiness and health (if you have them often enough!) and want to help make sure they are a regular part of your life.
