☞ THE COVER
The cover is made from a repurposed Reader's Digest Condensed Book published in 1972 (Vol. 4), and accented with metal corner covers. The cover is coated with a light sealant to prevent further damage and the spine is covered with book cloth. It lays completely flat.


☞ THE PAGES
This junk journal is comprised of new and repurposed papers: scrapbook paper, coffee stained selling sketchbook paper, vintage Field Guide to the Birds of North America pages, vintage sheet music, vintage sewing pattern instruction sheets, vintage wallpaper, vintage gardening book pages, lined writing paper, ledger paper, computation paper, and an envelope stitched into the middle signature.

The pages are embellished with lace, stitching, paper punch patterns, washi tape, tags, ephemera, fold-outs, pockets, blank cards, Reader's Digest book pages, and two vintage postcards.

All pages are of varying sizes but are no larger than the cover. The signatures are stitched directly into the spine and are independent of one another.


☛ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please note that the cover of this journal is vintage, and may have had several different owners or readers throughout its lifetime. The outside shows minimal signs of use and age. It was cleaned and sealed to the best of my ability without ruining the aged feel and original design. The corners were also protected with decorative metal covers to reduce any further damage that may occur.


☛ GIFT WRAPPING
Gift wrapping is complimentary. All orders arrive to you wrapped in colored tissue paper or brown kraft paper and accented with washi tape matching the theme or color(s) of the item. For holiday or birthday wrapping paper alternatives, please purchase the gift wrapping option at checkout and specify which occasion you prefer.
