Marilyn, thanks for the tip on the Tolex. I had no idea what it was. I looked it up because the black won't work for me as this is the FW carrier that is minty and off white for a white FW. But it looks as though Tolex comes in many colors.
Here is one site if any others are interested in looking. They even have a snakeskin & glitter colors! Although I will probably stick to close to the same colors.
