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.

{ the four seasons: not vivaldi. }

Hello, my name is Rebekah, and I’m an addict.  I’m addicted to… pillows.  (Hi, Rebekah.)
Throw pillows, that is. Or toss pillows, accent pillows, sofa pillows, whatever you’d like to call them.  I shudder to think of the number that are stored neatly in plastic trash bags up in our attic.  I shudder, and then… I...

an anniversary, of sorts.

It’s an anniversary today. Not a romantic or important one, mind you, but… it’s the anniversary of our living room remodel/overhaul.
This time last summer (‘08) we had gotten the keys to our new house in Chico, and Labor Day weekend we plowed through demo of living room cabinetry and the face of the main...

meet the house: around the outside

House, meet random blog reader. Random blog reader (I mean dear friend! And I’m glad you’re here!), meet house. Since one of my biggest weaknesses/obsessions is with interior design and decor, where we live and how it’s dressed up is near and dear to my heart. So… our house will be showing up on...
