It is awesome. We can all agree on that. And Angie and I both have a thing for peacock feathers. Ever since we simultaneously drooled over the feathered place mats that Z Gallerie had last winter. So after our lovely run, we headed out on our adventure to Michael's. To hunt and gather. Well, that lasted all of 10 minutes. Because.... BAM.... there it was! The very wreath that we wanted to make with our own two (well, four) hands.
Cue Angie with the "you have got to be kidding me" face.
So, what did we do? Well, after ranting for a good 15 minutes in the store, we bought the wreath. In all of it's premade glory and then headed to the mall. So much for a day of crafting!
Hey Meghan! Not sure if you knew this but peacocks shed all their feathers in July/August. There are a bunch that live in my parents neighborhood and I collected about 50 feathers this summer. I am planning on having a peacock Christmas tree! Just thought I'd pass the tip along. The feathers are like a dollar ea at Michaels but free if you can find a peacock in July/Aug! Come down to Carrollwood :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! My dad actually just told me the same thing... If they run out of feathers in Carrollwood- hit up Busch Gardens!
