hello there.

Well, whaddya wanna know?  Here's the plain and simple truth:  My name is Rebekah Tennis and I love design.  I love paper, the way it feels, its weight and texture.  I love extra special touches on little things: homemade tags on gift-wrap, old stamps on an envelope, and twine on nearly everything.

My husband, business partner and all-around solid rock Matt would probably tell you that he likes tools - lots of 'em, finding the perfect way to do something, taking things apart, and precision in everything. 

So you might as well have guessed by now... we are the perfect match for an old letterpress studio. Together we farm rice and have a small but adorable two-year old son, Cameron.  This keeps us fairly busy, but whenever we have a spare moment, we crank up our 102 year old Chandler and Price platen press and pull some prints. 

There's more, oh yes, there IS more - but that's what this blog is for.  Take a look around, get to know us, our great town of Chico, California and our beautiful presses.


and up ahead we see…

Hi there, folks.  It’s Monday… and Mondays will be Mondays… but a Monday after a holiday weekend, now that’s a real Monday. {huh?} Oh yes, the caffeine is kicking in.

I’m needing inspiration today… we are cleaning the shop, which is ultra-uber-massively messy ever since we moved in our latest press about two weeks ago.  I am also gearing up for the big Christmas decoration extravaganza which is coming this evening…

So, anyhow this week’s inspiration comes from the decor of Christmases past.  I don’t have time to dig through all the photos yet, but here’s just one to whet your appetite:

christmaspast_peek_1Okay, well maybe one more…

christmaspast_peek_2…and yes, Paoli does still hold a grudge against us.

Happy Monday!
