We had such a variety of shots from this event so we may just have to post another collage! I’m missing the smell of lemons and rice balls as I see these images and the taste of dark chocolate caramels as they warmed up in my mouth as I ate them. Amazing event. Please check out Wild Ink Press as they get their website launched. You will not regret the time invested!   And if you’re looking for spectacular eats at your next catered event, check out Il Bacio Catering.

Last week, we had the pleasure of attending the grand opening of a fresh and unique letterpress studio in Chico called Wild Ink Press. (The website is being developed, but check back often!)  The owners, Matt and Rebekah Tennis are good friends and are both extremely talented.  The opening was AH-MAZING.  Every detail - the design, the food (by Bacio), the drinks and the company were carefully planned.  If you’ve never held a letterpressed card, you’re missing out.  Each card is hand printed with care on antique presses.  No one likes to work that hard for beautiful stationery anymore!  The finished product is really beautiful.  Thankfully, this almost lost art is taking on new life in our current era. 

Here are a few shots from the evening.  We’re working on a second collage but alas, our husbands have been in Mendocino abalone diving the past few days and we’ve spent a HOT day at Cameron Park Lake with grumpy kids.  We’ve spent 2 hours making this collage and it’s now almost 1:00am and we want to watch a chick flick.  Call us selfish but the second installment will have to wait!
