Stationery?

Question

I want to buy 18th century looking stationery because I'm going to start using wax letter seals and quill pens for correspondence. Does anyone know of any websites that I can buy the stationery from? A plain antique looking style would be best. Thanks!

You might also look into handmade paper or making your own paper. Sounds like fun!

Answer 2

You can buy parchment paper in the office supply stores. that will look pretty good.

If you're going to seal with wax, put another envelope over it because the post office might not accept it. It could gum up their machinery.

Terri Noir owns this wonderful paper emporium, and if anyone on the planet can guide you to exactly what you want, she is the one! She has been "into" paper for decades, and her store has hundreds - maybe thousands - of specialty papers of all kinds.

Lots of sites at this web address.

Knew I had purchased some at Staples or Office Land some time back. According to web site Staples still carries it or can special order it.
