Pumpkin Pretzels

It’s Halloween time — which means that everything we eat for the next month will probably be either pumpkin-flavored, or pumpkin-shaped. Pumpkin Pretzels by Butter With a Side of Bread are a creative way of making treats that look like everyone’s favorite Fall oblong.

They’re made simply by dunking pretzels into orange-colored chocolate. And, surely you could find a way to inject some pumpkin flavor into them too. Recipe here.

Craft Beerds, A Collection of Beer Labels Featuring Beards, Sideburns, and Mustaches

If you like your beer crafty, and your label a bit scruffy, Craft Beerds belongs in your library. The book is a collection of craft beer label art from over 175 breweries, featuring facial hair in its many different forms.

From mutton chops and goatees, to the good ol’ beard and mustache combo — the book celebrates the art of the beer label, while revisiting some long forgotten and underappreciated face décor.

The book is currently in development on Kickstarter, and you can follow the latest Craft Beerds news on their Facebook page.

Avocado Backpack

If you like your backpacks made of leather and extra pitty, the Avocado Backpack is here to help. Brought to us by Linda of Avery Studio, the backpack is handcrafted from quality leather to resemble half an avocado. Fortunately, it’s the half that got the pit, which helps add additional storage with a six-inch zipper.

I’d order one myself, but the request is already in for a fig fanny pack.
