I rarely use blue, I guess I am partial to earth tones and black.  This fabric just popped out at me and I blue-loving mom made sure I knew that she wanted something out of this.  This is a BEEZER bag.  It is 17 inches long, 3.5 wide and 9 inches tall.  It has a high quality magnetic snap and a metal frame that overlaps like an old fashioned Doctor's bag.  It is secure and very durable.
