I buy my stationery at the local independent print shop. If you find the right paper you can buy it by the ream (I like an off-white Astroparche). At least my local printshop has colored and neutral papers you purchase singly or in quantity and they carry matching envelopes.
I find the big box stores really frustrating because when you ask why they don't have smoothing you get the answer that it is a corporate decision. Just for an example I use sectional frames for art work and the purpose of sectional frame is to allow you to create non-standard frames. You go in and all they have is frame units to make standard sized frames. So someone in the corporate office who has never framed anything has made a decision and the same person perhaps has decided that people do not write letters anymore so why carry stationery.

I can't find any images of a bandaged ostrich (even with "-bra -dress"), but google images gives me exactly what I'd expect for grand canyon, and that's without safe-search even turned on. I generally have really good luck with image searches. Not that drawing isn't a great skill to develop. There's lots of crap in my head, some of which I might conceivably want to put on paper, that there's no way I'd find with an image search. However, I had a lot easier time learning enough image editing that I could get an ostrich photo and a bandage photo and put the two together. Selecting the bandage with any degree of precision is a pain (though much less so than a decade ago), but if I'm trying to make a point rather than sell an image, a rough selection is usually more than enough.
