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.

instagr.am { the month of november }

November. It came. It went. Lots of food was consumed, lots of printing was done. And oh, the leaves all disappeared too. Shall we summarize? { Cameron started preschool (1/2  day a week). His artwork is Ginormous. And yay, he absolutely loves it. } { Vintage Metal locker baskets. Coming soon to a little boys...

as american as… dipped ice cream cones.

It’s finally summer here in Chico… and about time too! One of the best ways to beat the heat is with a little cold treat now and then. We’re not huge dessert people, but the occasional ice cream cone does hit the spot, so we’ve been known to stop at Shubert’s late on a summer...
