I’m starting a new category called Lovely, Lovely to feature finds I stumble upon and end up shamelessly coveting. There are many! Maybe I can make this a regular feature: Lovely, Lovely Wednesdays? I don’t know if that really has a ring to it. Wednesday is by definition kind of average, with its whole “middle of the week” thing. On the other hand, any day that has an un-lovely nickname like “Hump Day” deserves a little TLC.

For the first entry, I have to sing the praises of Rowena at Red Ruby Rose. I just discovered Rowena’s fabulous clutch purses on The Downtown Boutique blog. Angie at The Downtown Boutique gave us our first little bit of press when she featured The Sweet Unfolding a couple of weeks ago as part of her Friday Feature series–thanks, Angie! This week it was Rowena who was featured. Take one glance at her Etsy shop and you’ll see why. Her clutch purses are so gorgeous! Modern, elegant, a little whimsical–they’re everything I love about independent design.

If you act fast (as in today or tomorrow–sorry to report so late, but I just found out myself) you can enter to win a $75 gift certificate to Red Ruby Rose by leaving a comment on Rowena’s feature entry at The Downtown Boutique. Also included? Free shipping, anywhere in the world! That is one spectacularly generous giveaway. Stop by and give both Angie and Rowena a little love, if you have time. And enjoy drooling over those fabulous purses!
