The pegs sold!

I've been selling some of my 'handcrafted paper based stuff and things' at the We Made It store in Canterbury (https://www.facebook.com/WeMadeItStore). I have some writing and notelet sets, plus packs of envelopes. On Saturday I put in a pack of magnetic pegs...and they sold the following day!! Yes I'm a little bit excited.
This is a perfect opportunity to tell you all about what I've been making!
Ideas evolved from making some envelopes out of magazines for some 'we'ved moved' cards for my sister, through the inspirations of Pinterest and Etsy, I pursued making them from old atlases sourced from a charity shop and was encouraged to make them in to sets. The idea was to sell on Etsy...but just before I was about to list them a phone call with a word of a local artisans store opening...With only 3 sets made I got to work and bolded started selling the few items I had.
Stock has matured to host a few different items, writing and notelet set , envelope packs, earrings (which aren't paper based, but handmade none-the-less) and peg fridge magnets.
So on to some images and details...

At the moment they're only for sale in the We Made It shop in Canterbury, but let me know if you think I should get them onto Etsy/Folksy or if you'd like to by them direct from me?
