Sunday Sweets: Pretty as a Peacock
When I was younger, I read somewhere that having peacock feathers in the house was bad luck. Something about the "eyes" on the feathers being evil.
Now, I don't know about you, but if I could gaze into these eyes all day, I'd consider myself downright lucky.

Or for a real statement, how about white-on-white?
Fingers crossed the bird was the ring-bearer.
Think we can eat the cake out of the middle of this and turn it into a lamp?

Well, it seems we've run out of peacock Sweets.
How unlucky.
