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.

Since we did...

monday, monday.

Hope you had a fun (and safe) weekend.  My favorite part was the extra hour.  Our home was invaded by a remarkably cute and scary lion over the weekend….
Not much to do with letterpress or design, but I couldn’t resist.
Happy Monday!

happy weekend: pie and cheese.

I think we made it to the weekend, friends!  What kind of wonderful plans do you have?
Maybe you should bake a pie…  let’s see, what do you have on hand?
Hm.. Ricotta… had been planning to use it in an italian meal that didn’t need the extra.
A pie crust (or pie crust ingredients, who doesn’t have...

fall decor… the process.

Is it Friday already?  Crazy!  I’ve got three posts to toss your way today… that’s right, THREE, my friends.  I promised some fall decor, right?  And here I am delivering.
I thought it might be fun to give a glimpse of the “in-between” stage – my house looked like this for two whole days.  See, these...

{ pumpkin patching. }

Happy new work week to all of you!  Surviving last week at all was a grand feat for me: the whole family is still going through a massive cold, Matt’s still working at the ranch seven days a week (I miss him!), and Cameron has decided naps are for suckers.  But here we are, a...
