About (What's a Black Spruce Hound, BTW?)

Hi! Welcome to Black Spruce Hound, a blog where I talk about living a simple, vintage kind of life. Meaning I like old stuff and desperately want to wear a dress with a bustle, at least once in my life. On this blog, you'll find recipes, crafting and DIY, my (feeble) attempts at sewing, my love of 60s fashion, gardening, and all sorts of stuff.

As for what a black spruce hound is, I haven't a clue. I came up with it because I needed a name for my Etsy shop that didn't sound lame. There are black spruce trees in the swampy part of my backyard, and a Bloodhound named Scout is frequently parked on the couch. Kismet, I tell you. Our black spruce hound looks like this:


My name is Beth. I live in the woods in Wisconsin with my husband, affectionately known as the Mr. He's pretty fun, and often smells like hydraulic fluid.

We've been to known to have a few of these...

While I do have a vintage store on Etsy called BlackSpruceHound, I'm also a homemaker and a duck wrangler.

and a few of these...

I started this blog in 2011, having no clue what I was doing. This blog is a way to talk to someone other than myself, to let family and friends know what I'm up to, and to keep people updated on my Etsy shop.


and to purchase quite a bit of this. My apologies to any vegetarians.

So pull up a chair, put up your feet, and stay awhile.
