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.

I figured I’d better post the instagram summary for September before it becomes November!

I googled it, it’s...

dinner for 40.

I’m really excited to share it with you because I think it’s important to demystify this part of entertaining: planning and having events that could otherwise seem unattainable or just plain scary to pull off. I was really...

fresh roasted tomato pasta.

This summer I have been craving freshness. Perhaps because it’s been so hot lately, perhaps because I’m trying to drop the freshman sophomore mid-marriage fifteen that have crept up on me since the boys came along, but whatever the cause, my summer mantra: fresh, fresh, fresh. I also have been craving simple (fancy that). So,...

instagr.am { the month of july }

July seems like a long time ago, right? Better late than never… { Before it almost burned down, we had a quiet but delightful 4th of July at the family cabin. } { In keeping with the Americana theme: local baseball. As American as apple pie. } { Cameron’s July alter-ego, Walter, enjoys watermelon at...
