Default Please help

I have something special I would like to give to a relative.

I'd like to include a brief handwritten note.

Can someone point me to some very nice stationary on some classy paper that has a nice classy upland reference, like a pair of pointers on point in charcoal print or something like that?

Not a note pad, but single sheets of stationary.

I seem to recall one of the sxs vendors having offered some but I cannot seem to locate who/ where.

Thank you in advance.

Grandmother gave this to me many yrs ago.

She said I loved it as a child and couldn’t keep my hands off..GrandFathers Turkey Call.

He passed when I was eight, but there it sat on his bookshelf.

Although I’m not a Turkey hunter..I spend time every yr on my front porch talking turkey in the spring w/the local gobblers.

Otherwise, it resides in my safe.

Grandmother is now passed and somehow the subject came up - turns out this call was given to my GrandFather by my Uncle.

I asked him if he would like to have it back and he stated absolutely not, it belongs to you.

My uncles son, my cousin, is very much into outdoor sports as am I..he has sons whom also share love for the outdoors.

I disagree w/my Uncle..this call was never mine, it was mine to hold for my cousin and his boys.

I’m going miss it.

Thank you gentlemen for your help

Double Gun Journal also offer a very nice set of note cards but I couldn't find a link to view them on line; may have to look in an issue of the magazine.

if you are looking for stationary instead of note cards, you may need to find a custom printer.

I have a couple antique printing blocks that I use to hand print on letters, the consistency with that method is not that good. Some day, I would like to find a printer with an old press who can do a ream or two correctly

We are victims of email and "social" media - a hand written letter is a quaint memory to most of us - and likely something the younger folks have never even been the recipient of.

If you want stationary, I would go to Staples and buy some good paper; I'm sure they carry small packs of special purpose papper. Then I would look around the internet for a nice graphic and print my own. Almost any color computer printer these days will do as good a job at this as a print shop.

Cards can be made on the printer too. I have software that will do that but I have no idea where I accuired it, it may have come with a printer I bought at some time? There are probably card making programs available for very small costs.

I print my own stationaly, I do spiff up my envelopes with edge graphics and return add a return address and I have made some special purpose cards in the past. It can all be a fun project.

Just another option I thought I would throw out there.

I would go to an arts supply store. They usually have all sorts of types of paper. You may have to cut to size however.
