Friday's Peacock Find

So last week I was talking to my friend Jennie of the Prim Pumpkin and she was telling me about this lighted peacock outdoor holiday decoration she had seen at Lowe's. Perfect, I thought, as I knew Jon & I were heading there over the weekend for fun things like toilet parts and a new light fixture for the nursery. I need another Christmas decoration like I need a hole in the head. Honestly, I am actually weeding though and selling some things, now that I have decorated this house for 7 years and I know what I use and don't use. But this was different... it was a peeeeaaaaacock! They only had one left and with minimal eye rolling from Jon, it was mine! I don't plan to put it outside, as I don't trust the little critters from chewing through the light cords (like they did to my display last year). Instead, I am going to put it in my bay window so that it can be seen from the outside, but being safely inside. This is perfect too, because the bay window is in our dining room and I always do our dining room with all my peacock decor - tablecloth, plates, little tree in the center with all my peacock ornaments. Even though I don't decorate until after Thanksgiving, I am certainly starting to get in the mood!

That is one heck of a light display. And I am glad that you got it. You deserve that!
Enjoy the day!

thanks so much for posting this! I collect peacocks for my daughter. I just ordered one for her from the only store in our area that has one left in stock. She is gonna love it!

I have had the same Peacock for about three years. When I was putting it up, I discovered that the one side was not lit. I found the LED culprit and remove it. I went to Home Depot where I had gotten it and they could not find any info. for me just to replace the fuse. Shame on me for losing the original one and the LED Lamp Show company no longer exists. Could you spare a fuse? If so, please email me at chipvik1@ca.rr.com Thanks, Viki
