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.

{ happy monday. }

Did you have a good weekend?  Here in Northern California, it was sunny, mild and perfect.

Paoli Tennis, 1993 – 2010.

{ crazy eight. }

It’s our anniversary.  Eight years ago today we ran through a shower of birdseed and into a waiting car.  (And yes, birdseed does hurt, especially if it gets in an eye. I’d advise confetti or something softer.)  As we ran to the vehicle that day and drove away, starting our life together – let’s face...

a happy, happy weekend to you.

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...

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...

a harvest table.

Whew!  The holidays are here, aren’t they?  Things have gotten busy, busy, busy… and we’re not complaining.  We are printing, printing, printing!  We still hope to have our Etsy holiday shop open up over the weekend – so stay tuned! In the wonderful meantime, I’m sure a lot of you are making (or have made)...
