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.

However, in stationery, we see a lot of...

{ a gala. }

Gala. Ever since I was little I have loved the sound of that word.  It seems larger than life, starting great words like “galaxy” and exotic words like “galapagos”.  Look at the definition: Gala n.  A festive occasion, especially a lavish social event or entertainment. Sounds fabulous, right? Mostly, it makes me think of a...

merry, merry christmas to all.

Well, folks, we are signing off here for the holidays.  Although, I may be able to squeeze in an eggnog post tomorrow (we do make it from scratch, it’s awesome!), but don’t hold your breath.  We’ll be back, bells on, full of resolutions and recovering from all of the holiday food and merriment, on January...

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...
