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.

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!

Feeling crafty?  Here’s my {ahem} attempt at a little DIY fall decorating goodness for your enjoyment (or mockument, as the case may be).
Little disclaimer here:  I’ve never considered myself to be a “craft” person.  While I love being creative, and creativity in general, I often lack the ability to pull things off.  “Things” being anything...

some more s’mores, please.

We went camping a few days ago (getting our fun on before buckling down for rice harvest and Christmas printing season). It was on the beach but in the forest, and never got above 61 degrees. I was loving the chance to pull out some fall sweaters a bit early!
Even though this is a...

Have a happy one. Might I suggest:
A bike ride through Bidwell park….

… a visit to a Farmer’s Market…

… some time at a café with a good book…

… writing a note to a friend.

dinner on a dime: soupe à l’oignon

As I think I mentioned earlier, it’s no secret that Matt and I like to eat. We especially like dinners together. I realize it’s a luxury because we only have one small kid, but when the day’s done, we are fond of tucking him in bed and then sharing time, food and conversation,...

{ meet cameron }

You’re going to see this little guy pop-up fairly regularly on this-a-here blog, so I thought I would introduce him to you. This is Cameron. He’s almost two. Cam loves dirt… but also loves having his hands washed. He loves to climb… but is very cautious about being up high. ...
