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.

sparkly & natural: { christmas decor }

I’ve been meaning to do a post on this for about two weeks now, and I’m sure all of you have decorated your trees and moved on.  Oh, and you’ve finished your Christmas shopping, sent your cards, made all of your meal plans, travel plans, baked...

and up ahead we see…

Hi there, folks.  It’s Monday… and Mondays will be Mondays… but a Monday after a holiday weekend, now that’s a real Monday. {huh?} Oh yes, the caffeine is kicking in.
I’m needing inspiration today… we are cleaning the shop, which is ultra-uber-massively messy ever since we moved in our latest press about two weeks ago.  I...

{feels like autumn now.}

Here’s the big reveal!!!
Um, okay it’s not that big.  I moved a few things around, took a couple things away, added other things, and cozied everything in general a bit.  But let’s take a look anyway!
That’s the overview!  Hopefully warm and cozy and bright and neutral.  Now onto my favorite part, the vignettes…

fall decor… the process.

Is it Friday already?  Crazy!  I’ve got three posts to toss your way today… that’s right, THREE, my friends.  I promised some fall decor, right?  And here I am delivering.
I thought it might be fun to give a glimpse of the “in-between” stage – my house looked like this for two whole days.  See, these...

{ 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...
