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 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 have...

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 blessing!...

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) your...

{ in memory of. }

I’m sure most of you already have done this, but I wanted to pause for a moment on this fine Veterans Day and reflect.
Wars.  None of us like them, they aren’t always necessary, and they are difficult to parse.  And yet, think of how many times we look back on history and are very, very...

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!

{ 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...
