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.

{ This is the bucket where we empty our windmill sump. Or, as Matt likes to call it, the sump’s sump. }

{ Spring work means Saturday lunches delivered to Matt at the ranch by me and the boys. Big Al’s makes it feel like a weekend even though we’re working! }

{ We Matt built a crate. Maybe someday I’ll get around to posting a how-to. }

{ This is what spring looks like if you are a Tennis. }

{ And this too. Only, much, much later in the night. }

{ Things that are deceptive: the ink is actually the palest turquoise. Gotta love the transparent white trickyness. }

{ Split fountain on press: the pale turquoise ink is in the middle. }

{ My favorite thing about NSS in NYC (besides the show): new food. Italian risotto with crusted potatoes underneath, prepared paella-style. Yum. }

{ Audrey and I – out to a fancy birthday dinner. }

{ The lego store NYC. Ah-mazing. At least for moms of four year old boys it is. }

{ Clowning around with my “Paperette” }

And that, my friends, was May. Or some of it.
