I have the flower one you have with gold inside and my other is similar to your blue one but it has mustard yellow colors that look almost exactly like the furniture my parents had in the 70's, my mom kept that furniture until I graduated high school in the 90's! It's fun to have it back on my pen pouch.😊❤
