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.

the end of winter.

I know spring has not yet been officially declared, but here in sunny California, it’s headed our way with force. This last weekend we got to spend a treasured time at our family cabin in the mountains, and I knew it was the last of the great snow I would see this year. ...

It’s Friday!  And a special weekend we have ahead of us… Lincoln’s Birthday, Saint Valentine’s Day and President’s Day all crammed in and jockeying for their own spot. In fact, some of you may be off celebrating already, in honor of old honest Abe.
We are headed to the family cabin in the mountains.  I have...

a tree for tiny ones.

Good morning afternoon! Hope you’re having a wonderful week leading up to Christmas.  Christmas Eve is Thursday and I personally can’t wait!
But in case you have a bit of the Mondays, I thought I might take a minute to share with you a cute little pick-me-up: my two year old’s personal Christmas tree.
Since we did...

happy weekend { and olive oil. }

It’s the last weekend before Christmas. (No screaming!) Just do what you need to do, Christmas will come… whether or not you buy and wrap that perfect gift for the impossible-to-shop-for Great-Aunt Matilda.
We are headed up to Oregon (road trip!!) today for a weekend wedding.  Right in the middle of the holiday season, yup! Part...

have a lovely weekend…

It’s Friday – where has the week gone?  Oh yeah, late night printing, collating, mailing.  The holidays are in full swing – which is great!
I’m sure MOST of you have already done this… but if you haven’t, wouldn’t this be the perfect weekend to trim the tree?  We get a real tree from Lassen National...

Giving thanks.

Happy Thanksgiving.  I have so many, many things to be thankful for this year. And always.  I’ve been trying to use this entire month to reflect and purposefully think of specific blessings and privileges in my life.
There are general blessings… freedom, my goodness!  And I want to remember those who are enslaved.  Family, a blessing!...
