elegant handcrafted stationery for heart and soul
We're opening a studio and shop!
Our space will be a creative hub and boutique retail destination in Arlington, VA.
Stop in to experience the artistry of letterpress stationery.
Shop a curated collection of handcrafted goods that inspire authentic connections.
Participate in classes and events.
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.
Open to Being is a boutique letterpress stationery and art studio founded by Theresa Esterlund.
I believe we thrive through connection.
I create products to help you open to being more meaningfully connected with family, friends, and yourself.
