Cute little fruits on the cover - a photo on Flickriver

One of my hobbies as a bookbinder is "rescuing" sad lonely blank books from thrift stores, unloved due to their boring or not-so-pretty covers, strip them down and give them a total makeover! This dairy was feeling unloved in it's shabby mauve fabric cover with a half-hearted smattering of flowers on the cover. An inscription on the inside read "to my friend Jean, 1986" - Unfortunately Jean wasn't much of a journaler because the inner pages were never written on.

It has a completely new lease on life with sturdy red book cloth on the spine and corners to protect them, and a fun vintage wrapping paper cover featuring watermelon, apples, strawberries and cherries - good enough to eat! The fruit-paper has a sort of shiny texture, which compliments well the textured book cloth.
