Yesterday we celebrated Meredith’s birthday! We had a yummy lunch from Threadgill’s followed by some super scrumptious cupcakes that Amanda made. Here’s what our little birthday luncheon looked like:
Another exciting nugget: this week we enjoyed talking to Justin Bieber on the phone!

Spruce featured in Etsy Video
What seems like many moons ago (mainly because we’ve been eager to see the final outcome), we had a visit from a Brooklyn-based fellow from Etsy who came to film our process. Eric visits with Etsians everywhere and tells their story through video on the Etsy blog, “The Storque.” We had a great day talking [...]
