Nugget of the Week: New Press!
We’ve been lucky enough to receive some great press here at Spruce, which we are truly grateful for. It is so exciting and humbling to be reminded that others are interested in our work, and we are proud to show it off on our (recently revamped) press wall:
We are going to have to make some [...]

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 [...]

Nugget of the Week
So, lately we have been cracking up about how many funny little things happen here ALL THE TIME. I often see Amanda brought to tears over some ridiculous incident that has happened that week.

Fabric: All Things Ikat

Inspiration Blog: The 70’s
I’m taking it back a few years. Back to the days of feathered hair, mustaches, and avocado colored wall phones with 300 feet of cord. Spruce has recently discovered a new claim to fame that we are totally stoked about. Whilst watching Dazed and Confused, only one of the greatest high school and 70’s movies, [...]
