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.

You know life has been very very busy. And that is not a complaint. Busy with wonderful good things…...

instagr.am { the month of december }

Be ye warned: December’s instagram recap is very Christmas-ey. { The Great Flood of 2012 – see that tiny red thing? That’s a canoe. On our street. } { Cam decorated this gingerbread house all by himself. Then came downstairs early every morning to eat off of it until I figured out what was happening....

November 2012 – was a big yay! Busy but fun. Brief highlights here… { Lance, our resident foodie, browses Martha Stewart Living – pausing only for the food pages. } { A drive in the first snow of the year. Can I just give snow a big hug? } { I have decanted my main...

instagr.am { the month of october }

October rocked my socks off!  To think that Harvest hadn’t even started, we had not yet traveled to Korea, and were still enjoying the end of summer… one short month ago. I took an inordinate amount of instagram shots this month. With three busy boys and no Matt around to help (again, Harvest) it was...

instagr.am { the month of september }

I figured I’d better post the instagram summary for September before it becomes November! I was a little photo-light this month, and it seems like such a long, long time has passed since Labor Day Weekend at our family cabin. { A masterful method for crisp potatoes, made by a friend. I googled it, it’s...
