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.

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...

halloween 2012: a fire crew.

Hope you had a fun (and safe) Halloween yesterday! Here in Chico it rained cats and dogs, and we only had a few brave trick-or-treaters. It’s madness with three boys I tell you – madness. The very fact that they are all dressed in costume and standing in the same photo is in itself a...

instagr.am { the month of july }

July seems like a long time ago, right? Better late than never… { Before it almost burned down, we had a quiet but delightful 4th of July at the family cabin. } { In keeping with the Americana theme: local baseball. As American as apple pie. } { Cameron’s July alter-ego, Walter, enjoys watermelon at...

instagr.am { the month of june }

Ugh. So behind on the blog. And is it possible to be “behind” on life? Life has run away with me and I’m busy playing catch up. Let’s start with the easy. An instagram round up of June. In June I was so busy I actually barely took any instagram photos, if you can believe...
