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.

We are headed to the family cabin in the mountains.  I have...

We are headed up to Oregon (road trip!!) today for a weekend wedding.  Right in the middle of the holiday season, yup! Part...

have a lovely weekend…

It’s Friday – where has the week gone?  Oh yeah, late night printing, collating, mailing.  The holidays are in full swing – which is great!
I’m sure MOST of you have already done this… but if you haven’t, wouldn’t this be the perfect weekend to trim the tree?  We get a real tree from Lassen National...

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...

{ happy weekend. }

Sorry for the light posting this week… it’s been a bit work hectic, which is a good thing.  I am looking forward to the weekend, though…
So, how about few things that sound delightful!
