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.

One of the things Matt and I have always loved to do together is take day trips. When we lived in Sacramento one of our favorites was to drive up to Sutter Creek and meander back home, driving through Dry Town and stopping at the Davis Ranch in Sloughhouse, truly a lovely little bit of...

{ 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...

Our biggest blessing this past year by far… The addition of this little big guy to our family. And his adoption was finalized on December 19! Talk about a fantastic Christmas present. Waiting...

very merry christmas home.

It’s probably a little late for this post. In fact, it’s definitely too late for this post. I’m supposed to be one of those put-together, organized bloggers who gives you 30 handmade Christmas ideas by December 2nd, and pre-decorates their house for Christmas in November all so they can photograph it and share it with...

The holidays are heating up around here… custom orders are pouring in, the press is running, and we’re also gearing up for some holiday open houses and other fun stuff. I’ve got stuff waiting, waiting in queue to be photographed, edited and make it up on either the blog or in store. But…. we’re squeezing...
