It used to be everywhere and I&#8217;m pretty sure that email and text led to a lack of need for it. I&#8217;ve been looking everywhere for it, even <a href=\"http:\/\/hobbylobby.com\">Hobby Lobby<\/a> where I *NEVER* shop because they are utter hypocrites about their pro-life stance. (If they&#8217;re so concerned with being publicly pro-life, perhaps the lion&#8217;s share of their products shouldn&#8217;t come from a country with a forced abortion policy, eh?) <a href=\"http:\/\/hobbylobby.com\">Hobby Lobby<\/a> has some, but I don&#8217;t want to shop there and decided to go online to search.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what I have found:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 130%;\"><a name=\"qt1\"><\/a><strong><a href=\"#qt1\" style=\"color: black; text-decoration: none;\">&#8212; 1 &#8212;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hallmark.<\/strong> It&#8217;s a no-brainer that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hallmark.com\/cards\/note-cards-and-stationery\/designed-stationery\/\">Hallmark would have some<\/a>. The problem: there isn&#8217;t one near where I live. (Near being &#8220;within 20 miles&#8221;.) Thankfully, I can order it online!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 130%;\"><a name=\"qt2\"><\/a><strong><a href=\"#qt2\" style=\"color: black; text-decoration: none;\">&#8212; 2 &#8212;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>JetPens.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jetpens.com\">JetPens<\/a> has pens of different natures, but also letter sets, envelopes, and cards. I have a wishlist going there of things that look interesting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 130%;\"><a name=\"qt3\"><\/a><strong><a href=\"#qt3\" style=\"color: black; text-decoration: none;\">&#8212; 3 &#8212;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>PaperArts.<\/strong> I think <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paperarts.com\">this site<\/a> is nice because you can order things by the piece instead of as a set. They have so many different kinds of paper that could be used for scrapbooks or letter writing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 130%;\"><a name=\"qt4\"><\/a><strong><a href=\"#qt4\" style=\"color: black; text-decoration: none;\">&#8212; 4 &#8212;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Muji.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muji.us\/store\/\">Muji<\/a> is another Japanese site with a stationery section. They seem to be pretty inexpensive which is nice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 130%;\"><a name=\"qt5\"><\/a><strong><a href=\"#qt5\" style=\"color: black; text-decoration: none;\">&#8212; 5 &#8212;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Amazon.Com<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/amazon.com\">Amazon<\/a> has a selection of Chinese stationery and plain stuff. I think that if <a href=\"http:\/\/amazon.com\">Amazon<\/a> doesn&#8217;t have something, it may not exist!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 130%;\"><a name=\"qt6\"><\/a><strong><a href=\"#qt6\" style=\"color: black; text-decoration: none;\">&#8212; 6 &#8212;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tokyo Pen Shop.<\/strong> In addition to pens, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tokyopenshop.com\">this site<\/a> has a bunch of different color options for stationery and it&#8217;s cute stuff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 130%;\"><a name=\"qt7\"><\/a><strong><a href=\"#qt7\" style=\"color: black; text-decoration: none;\">&#8212; 7 &#8212;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Etsy<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/etsy.com\">Etsy<\/a> is another no-brainer. There are handmade cards and interesting prints. Some sites also have a template you can download for a few dollars and use to print out your own pretty papers.<\/p>\n<p>For more Quick Takes, visit Kelly at <a href=\"http:\/\/thisaintthelyceum.org\">This Ain&#8217;t The Lyceum<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With me getting back into penpalling, I have been looking for stationery.
