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.

{ a bit of yellow and grey. }

Been wondering where we’ve been, have you?  Were we… 1) Disappeared off the face of the planet? 2) On an extended second honeymoon for our anniversary?  3) Basking in the sun and hanging out with our fabulous two year old? Sadly, none of the above.  Let’s just say it’s been busy, super busy, and work...

saturday sneak peek: week two

This sneak peek is big – more than a peek, I think you could call it a full-on look. Lucky you! This wedding suite is inspired by Chico’s legendary Annie Bidwell – refined lace, delicate ecru, letterpressed onto thick cotton stock, we think (hope!) she would approve. It’s available to brides now – but coming...
