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.

merry, merry christmas to all.

Well, folks, we are signing off here for the holidays.  Although, I may be able to squeeze in an eggnog post tomorrow (we do make it from scratch, it’s awesome!), but don’t hold your breath.  We’ll be back, bells on, full of resolutions and recovering from all of the holiday food and merriment, on January...

{ holiday } open house.

Howdy, folks.  We’re still here!  As in… not dead, moved out of country, and no, we haven’t quit letterpress. Not yet, anyway. I mention this because I did get a couple of concerned messages (even my parents noticed!!) with the blog having been a bit more, um, silent over the past two weeks.
Nope, we are...

Our holiday line is going up on etsy – take a look around, mark us as a favorite, do a little...

a hint of christmas.

The sneak peek we spoke of!  Here it is!
Ordinarily, I am a person who dreads even speaking of Christmas before that fourth Thursday in November… Thanksgiving.  Which is, incidentally, my very favorite holiday (more on that later).  But everything has an order, right?  Fall, then Halloween (whether you dress up or not, trick-or-treaters are bound...

{ 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...
