elegant handcrafted stationery for heart and soul
Stationery Store Day is Saturday, August 2!
Join us from 11-4 for a celebration of brick-and-mortar stationery stores.
Visit our boutique shopping experience featuring Open to Being letterpress products and related items, like Blackwing Pencils. We're also proud to feature other makers whose missions align with ours.
We believe in the power of artfully-crafted words to honor, celebrate, and embrace life's journeys with joy, acceptance, and compassion.




Our letterpress products are handmade.
We think the subtle variations add to their beauty.
Many are typeset using vintage wood or metal type while others incorporate polymer plates from original designs.
Everything is printed by hand, one at a time, on Vandercook cylinder and Chandler & Price platen presses.
Come visit our creative hub!
We're open by appointment, or you can stop in on one of our Open Studio events. We also offer classes and events in our Arington space.
Shop a curated collection of handcrafted goods that inspire authentic connections. See our 1910 press and learn about letterpress stationery.
