A Valentine's To Love
Arts In RI team members decided to creatively challenge one another to embrace the season of love with Valentine themed products. Between now and Valentine's Day we will share some of these "lovely" designs with you here on our blog. Let us know how you feel about our art by leaving a comment. Everyone who leaves a comment will be entered into a random drawing for an Arts In RI gift basket featuring goodies from many of our shops. (one entry per person per post. In other words you can enter once every time we post a new product!!!) Be sure to check back on the blog on Valentine's Day as we will announce the winner that day. Entries will be accepted until midnight February 13th.Have you ever fallen in love with something at first sight? That's how I felt when I saw this classy Valentine themed clutch made by Linda of Alamodestuff. The fabric is velvet flocked red taffeta. Linda said of the fabric: "When I saw it, I simply had to have it. I wasn't sure what I was going to make, but I bought it anyway. After staring at it for days, I decided that it would make the perfect clutch for a little black dress. The shape was inspired by the purses of the 1940s. It reminds me of a time when women wore evening gloves with their fancy little bags." Check out Linda's shop for this item as well as other wonderful items with urban appeal.

Awesome clutch! Linda has some other great stuff in her shop - love the Einstein bookmark.
I love the red swirls in the fabric & I'm awestruck at the talent it took to make that into a clutch. Great accessory to dress up a little black dress!
the clutch is stunning. i took a look at her shop and she has a great eye for design. the woven seat belt messenger bag is cleverly made and it's really striking!
Wow, that red color is so eye-catching. Any woman would feel so sassy using it.

Fabulous clutch! I also the black bowling bag with the flower and pretty much everything in your shop.
I love the bright colors and the awesome designs that you make:)

I can relate with her feeling over the fabric. I have a stash of just that, fabric, that I will never know what to do with. But I just couldn't resist. And I don't even sew much. :)
The clutch she made from the fabric is exquisite. I can picture myself with it, wearing my long black vintage gown.
Thanks for hosting this great giveaway. I will be back to see the others.
Great work..amazing to be able to sew a clutch! Love the 1940's too!
I it looks cute.
