Friday Finds: Peacock Feather Cuff Bracelets

Have you ever heard a peacock's call? The screeching sound is not what I'd expect to come out of such a majestic bird. The first time I heard its curdling cry I was in elementary school, spending the night at the Philadelphia Zoo on a girl scout field trip. I was tuckered out after a full day of oohing and awwing the animals, huddled in my Rainbow Brite sleeping bag on the lawn. Sweet oblivion had almost claimed my little mind when I was shaken wide awake by what sounded like a sick cat literally mewling "help," over and over again. I did not get much sleep that night and it had nothing to do with the dozens of giggling girls around me.

Although I wouldn't want to live within hearing distance of a pride of peacocks, the experience didn't stop me from being a fan of their elegant stature and vibrant tails. Today I put in ear plugs and kept my eyes peeled for their pretty plumes on Etsy. These peacock feather cuff bracelets strutted forward.

    Great theme for a feature! The last time we were at the Milwaukee Zoo, we kept hearing screaming. It took us a while to figure out that it was the peacocks. You're right that despite that, they're still beautiful. Thanks for linking up with me.

    Love all the jewel-toned colors related to the peacock! Your story made me giggle because we have a pair of yellow-crowned night herons nesting in a tree above our backyard. They have an extreme, disturbing squawk that sends me straight back into the house...and they aren't nearly as pretty to look at!

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...
