The flock

Partridges in the pear tree? This year, peafowl are a dazzling alternative, frequently appearing as a recurring motif in Asian-inspired designs. The plumed creatures here (two for $4.55 at Moskatels in Los Angeles) pair well with the multitude of turquoise, teal and purple ornaments in stores this season.
