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 little dinner party.

It’s been ages since I did a post on food (way back here, I think)… but don’t think for a minute that we have stopped eating! This summer has been full of farmer’s market bounty, and since the weather has been so mild (relatively), the growing season on many items has stretched out longer than...

{ happy august. }

I think I’ve heard this everywhere this week, but let me reiterate it: I can’t believe it’s August already!  Where, oh where, has the summer gone? We’ve been away this week (if you haven’t noticed, it’s been a little quiet here on the blog), and just arrived back home today.  Our trip involved letterpress inspiration,...

oh say can you see { happy 4th! }

It’s Friday and Independence Day weekend!  For us that means family, and many, many good things to be thankful for.  Not just for our independence, but for the blessings we have as a result (guess that falls under “the pursuit of happiness” part). So, this weekend, enjoy your time with your family or friends celebrating...

refinishing furniture… again.

Once upon a time, there was a girl with a pool (which she has no longer).  A pool which had no outdoor furniture to set by it.  The budget was tight, she needed to find a really good deal for furniture.  Enter Safeway (yeah, the grocery store).  Better known to some of you So. Cal...

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...

a leaftacular wreath.

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...
