Here’s our Peacock
Her name is Penelope. I did a poll a few years on Instagram.
And, a sweet follower chose her name.
This is Penelope sitting on her HUGE nest. This is a 12 foot tree in our living room with 40 foot ceilings.
I built her nest using large statement bows, tons and tons of gold pics, and added in some red poinsettias.
This nest did not happen overnight. I have been purchasing and adding a few elements to it each year.

And, below is the tree at night in all her glory.
Penelope would disappear had I not lit her from the bottom.
