Fantastic Five - Hello Mr Peacock

Hello Mr. Peacock, this one is for you!

The term “peacock” is often used to refer to both sexes of these birds. However, only the males are peacocks. The females are peahens, and together, they are called peafowl. Suitable males gather harems of several females, each of which will lay three to five eggs. Wild peafowl roost in forest trees and gather in groups called parties.

After reading about today’s Fantastic Five on Zibbet, be sure to see many more peacock items on Zibbet. So many simple beautiful items it was difficult to narrow it down to just these. Please use the Share Tools to share on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and more. Thanks for reading and sharing.

1. Laptop Bag - NYMPHS GARDEN - Messenger Bag -  Original Design by BillieBagsAndPillowsEtc $75: What a unique bag this is! Can be used as a messenger bag, laptop case or a diaper bag. Lots of pockets and magnetic snaps. The strap is adjustable so it works over the shoulder or cross-body. Check out this shop for many more unique designs in pillows and bags. I especially love the Luna Moth, but this is a Peacock theme.

2. Peacock Feather Cuff by BigSistersJewelryBox $38: This cuff was spotted by me on the front page of Zibbet and therefore the inspiration for today’s theme. The beads are made from turquoise and white polymer clay and the imprinted design is hand painted with liquid polymer clay tinted with beautiful, vivid mica powders to create the custom colors you see here. Interesting shop with a super cool name many can probably relate to: Big Sister’s Jewelry Box.

3. Sexy Peacock Feather Bridal Hair Fascinator w/ Antique Rhinestone Style Accent by DivaCoutureSupplies $12: This sexy peacock feather bridal hair fascinator has real peacock feathers and a silver plated bobby pin. These accessories are the pefect accent for any event.

4. Peacock Save the Date/Wedding Bookmarker Favors by MichelleWorldesigns $6.25:  This is a nice idea with 2 uses. These peacock bookmarks can be mailed out as a “save the date” card for an upcoming wedding, but they can also be used as wedding favors. Choose colors, wording, and theme.

5. Peacock Willows by DancingTreeMama $50: Last but not as least, as this is my favorite, the artist says: “The showy willow silhouetted against the dimming late-winter sky is reminiscent of a strutting peacock. Some see a warrior amongst the touching limbs. What do you see?”
