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 three-year old son, Cameron, and a chubby one year old, Lance.  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.


a new { holiday } card series.

It’s October 11th… but brace yourselves for some Christmas, dear readers!

I wanted to start sharing with you our new holiday line(s), and since we’ve already had quite a few inquiries and some sales (more than we sold all last November, in fact), even though I’m not ready for Christmas, you all must be. My goodness, how organized can you get, placing a holiday card order before Halloween? =)

But, if you can stand it, I can… although I refuse to decorate my house for Christmas until the week after Thanksgiving. Some things must remain sacred.

The series I’m going to show you today is inspired by all of the silhouettes you’ve been seeing everywhere for the past couple years – this is a fun, not-so-serious take on that trend, in the form of petite little cards with witty lines and bright colors. In fact, there is one for every holiday!  Take a look…

Aren’t they just as cute as buttons? And they’re small little things too… 3.5″ x 5″ size – perfect for the short little note.  Just for reference, those are mini clothespins holding them up.

Here is Halloween and Thanksgiving:

And a couple of Christmas:

And of course New Year’s:

The New Year card is printed in a shiny metallic silver.  Both the Halloween and the New Year cards also come as invitations… here’s a peek at the inside:

Perfect for your little holiday gathering.

And just for the heck of it… a few more cute photos of the two fall cards…

Available at here in our etsy store and at select retail stores.

We’ve got more cards coming up later this week!

October 11, 2010 - 5:11 pm rebekah - Hi Kelly! You know, I appreciate this comment - and I thought about that when designing this series... but it came down to the fact that I didn't want to stick the story of Christmas and Christ's birth on the same level as these silly and light "holiday" cards. We do like to produce cards that have a traditional christmas message, too... look at our love/joy/peace cards from last year and we will have a few new designs this year along those lines. Hope this makes sense! Best, Rebekah
