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 three-year old son, Cameron, and a chubby one year old, Lance.  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 egg fun.

We did it! We may be staying up late every night and running around like chickens-with-our-heads-cut-off in prep for the National Stationery Show, but we still eked out time for a little egg decorating with the boys. It’s the small things. We started with these farm fresh eggs (plus a few white ones from the...

instagr.am { the month of march }

It’s April, and the biggest April Fool’s Day joke you could have played on me would have been telling me it was still March. I totally would have fallen for it, hook, line and sinker. It seems like it SHOULD be March still… which came in like a lamb and exited like a lion (isn’t...

{ happy weekend }

Sorry for the quiet this week… we were away for a bit for our anniversary (rice work means we celebrate it one month early) and then both of us have had the most miserable cold/cough/fever/chills/dizzy-as-I’ll-get-out sickness thingy. May you not have it wished on you by your worst enemy. In a bit of weekend news...

instagr.am { the month of february }

Here we go… the photo journal continues! Let’s review February, shall we? { over-sized headphones never looked so good. } { the men in my life always look dapper on Sundays. } { speaking of Sundays, I’m currently crushing on this “deconstructed” eggs benedict from Beatniks. } { when a little boy asks for a...
