Join us for this annual celebration of independent, brick-and-mortar stationery shops!

This event aims to support local paper shops, encourage in-person shopping, and celebrate our community of stationery lovers.

Details coming soon.

Experience the joy of slowing down together as you shop to find just the right card or gift that expresses your heart and soul for someone special. Step into our letterpress studio + shop to explore artisan gifts, learn about letterpress, and enjoy time with others who appreciate beautiful stationery and handwritten notes. You’ll find an intimate showcase of Theresa’s favorite things - handcrafted gifts, kindred makers, and good company.

Open to Being's signature shopping event opens our boutique letterpress studio in Arlington to the DC metro area. Founder Theresa Esterlund curates each gathering around our central communal table, featuring select local creative entrepreneurs and exceptional handcrafted goods.

Our Arlington letterpress shop is open to the public exclusively during these seasonal shopping events. Also open by appointment.
