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 nautical affair.

Good Monday, folks!! Hope you all had a great weekend! For those of you on the West Coast, have you ever seen a colder or more dreary May?  It is seriously 30 degrees below normal right now, and has been practically all month!  I miss warm sunshine, and the lake, and sitting out under an...

{ a bit of yellow and grey. }

Been wondering where we’ve been, have you?  Were we… 1) Disappeared off the face of the planet? 2) On an extended second honeymoon for our anniversary?  3) Basking in the sun and hanging out with our fabulous two year old? Sadly, none of the above.  Let’s just say it’s been busy, super busy, and work...

a soft palette.

I love a good white.  They’re surprisingly hard to find (especially in paint!), but crisp white, soft white, antique white, etcetera all have a perfect place and can produce that “ah…” calm and relaxing sensation when used appropriately.  A bit like sinking into a deep and comfy chair. However, in stationery, we see a lot...

Happy Monday, dear friends!  We are excited to be very busy this week with stationery orders as a result of our website launch and stationery giveaway (yay!).  But before it’s too, too late, I wanted to share with you our last, nearly-belated offering for Valentine’s Day (although, you should note, all of our valentine cards...

{ a gala. }

Gala. Ever since I was little I have loved the sound of that word.  It seems larger than life, starting great words like “galaxy” and exotic words like “galapagos”.  Look at the definition: Gala n.  A festive occasion, especially a lavish social event or entertainment. Sounds fabulous, right? Mostly, it makes me think of a...
