Kids Love Trains!


I just moved recently to a new house. I was surprised yesterday afternoon to hear a train in the distance. It's a nice sound as long as it's not too close. I like trains. My grandson loves trains. He's loved trains since he was very small, I think in part because they live very near to train tracks and it's a sound that he's heard since being a newborn. Of course, he has just about every Thomas the Train train and book made. He also had a train theme birthday party when he turned two.

A couple of summers ago we took him to the Houghton County Historical Museum and he got a train ride. It's a great place to take kids on a train ride and they have a miniature scale train exhibit that's well worth seeing. It's a great place to take kids but also very educational and interesting for adults. Housed in the historic Lake Linden Mineral Range Depot is the home of the largest collection of Copper Country railroad artifacts in the area. The depot also houses a huge operating model railroad in HO scale, depicting the Copper Range Railroad in the 1920s.


At Peacock Cards we have many different train design T-shirts, tote bags, stickers, mugs, bodysuits, and other train clothing and gift items for kids. We have age specific train theme birthday t-shirts too. Check out some of our awesome train clothing and gifts.

Holiday T-shirts...already?!?

I've been uploading some new products to my Christmas Shop over the past several days. Holiday T-shirts with snowmen, snowman sweatshirts, snowman mugs, baby's first Christmas T-shirts, first Christmas bodysuits, penguin holiday sweatshirts and other holiday clothing, Christmas cards with matching postage stamps, and a whole lot more.
It almost seems surreal to me as just a few short weeks ago I was outside with short sleeves and capris, hiking and snapping photos and the leaves barely turned to their brilliant autumn reds and golds, and now, here I am in fleece and winter gloves, scraping frost from my windshield and watching the snowflakes fall, hoping winter doesn't stay too early. (not a fan of shovelling snow!)
There is some magic however to those first flakes that glisten and shine and seem to somehow put the world at a standstill if only for a moment. The fresh air, the awe of nature, the dusting of white on an otherwise barren landscape brings wonder and awe. And of course, snow reminds me of Christmas, and I do love Christmas. And so, as I said, I have found myself uploading holiday T-shirts and tote bags, Santa Clause sweatshirts and mugs, reindeer and candy cane magnets and stickers. Check out some of our newest holiday clothing and gift items at Peacock Cards!

Halloween Costume

The weather here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan has been so beautiful the past two weeks that it's hard to even imagine that in a few short months we'll be getting snow. I realized last night that it's nearing mid September and it's not all that long before Halloween will be here! I'm really excited about Halloween this year as I should be in my house by then and will have a yard and a porch that I can decorate with Halloween ghosts and cornstalks and pumpkins. Now is the time to start planning your Halloween costumes. You can find some great Halloween T-shirts and other Halloween products at sagart.net that make great costumes. If you're looking for a Halloween ghost T-shirt, baby's first Halloween bodysuit, scary goblin T-shirt, or a funny Halloween T-shirt that's sure to get a lot of laughs, you can find them at sagart.net. You'll find thousands of Halloween designs to choose from on Halloween shirts, hoodies, trick or treat tote bags, Halloween cards, stickers, mugs, and so much more!
