trying to purchase a few of these, and don't know what it's called so I can't google it.
Maybe someone knows the name of it? If you do, please help. Thanks

A purse frame is what it is called on Nancy's Notions.

Amazon has them HERE.

If you are looking for the kind you squeeze, they are here http://www.ebay.com/bhp/internal-flex-frames-purse
If you only need 1 I can send you it. I bought a dozen, but have only used a few.

I have purchased a few from Hobby Lobby and Hancock's. JoAnn's might have them but the one nearest to me didn't at the time I needed them.

My joanns carries them

The Joann's by me carries them.

Joanne's, hobby lobby, Nancy's Notions, my local quilt shop carries them.

didn't see them at Joanns. will go look at the other one. figured if one didn't carry, they both didn't but i'll go look again. Still don't know the proper name of them.

I have always heard them called kiss lock or snap frames lynnie.
