For the ninth day of homemade gifts we have a non-sewing gift – Stationary.
Whether for writing letters at events or a nice note for a friend, period style stationary can be a nice touch. As a gift, you can give a set of simple paper cut to period sizes or add a period style border or motif all nicely tied with a ribbon. You can make matching envelopes. For an additional touch, you can add a period pencil or pen with ink. (Yes, I know, those aren’t homemade.)
For papers, try your small town stationary store (yes, they still do exist) or the scrapbook department of your choice craft store. You can select papers resembling period writing paper.
If I Had My Own Blue Box: 
Are there any pictures somewhere of period style borders one could copy?
